BARC Perspective: Boomi AI

BARC Perspective: Boomi AI

- by Shawn Rogers, Expert in Data Management

The stream of Generative AI-related news is nearly non-stop these days. Companies are focused on leveraging this technology to streamline operations, enhance customer interactions, and manage costs to be competitive. The constant evolution of technology remains a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it provides immense opportunities for innovation and improvement, and conversely, it can lead to fragmented ecosystems and complexities that hinder progress.

Boomi recently announced Boomi AI. Jumping into the fray of generative AI-based tools focused on the integration space, specifically, solutions that leverage AI to build and complete integrations and drive automation for customers. The data management and integration arena will be two of the fastest-moving sectors for adopting LLMs and generative automation in the enterprise.

Today, the struggle for companies to stay ahead of the game is real. The investments made to modernize digital operations can be undermined by disconnected ecosystems, causing substantial hurdles for IT teams. This is where AI steps in, offering solutions that bridge these gaps and foster innovation.

The Boomi team leveraged their knowledge of and best practices from a reported 200 million integrations to help train its AI models. They use anonymized metadata from these integrations to generate connections across various business applications and processes. The platform algorithms are designed to avoid biases and unfairness and transparently deliver AI technology.

Here are a couple of the features of Boomi AI:

  1. Design Connections: Designing integration processes, APIs, and master data models can help businesses establish connections between various systems.
  2. Optimize Operations: The platform aims to solve problems proactively, automate updates, and allocate resources optimally.
  3. Orchestrate Experiences: By interpreting the intent behind business outcomes, Boomi AI will orchestrate processes across applications, enhancing decision-making and task simplification.

I am excited to see this type of work in the integration and automation space; eliminating and automating tactical work and empowering integration professionals is a perfect target for AI and generative technology.
