Dell Adds To Boomi's Cloud Integration Capabilities: Page 3 of 3

Acquired by Dell last November to help businesses "reap the full value of cloud computing," Boomi is getting a facelift to help customers achieve greater enterprise efficiency while leveraging existing IT investments. According to the 2011 InformationWeek Analytics State of Cloud Computing Survey, integration is one of the six major areas being underfunded or ignored by CIOs. Dell wants to offer streamlined integration connections across the enterprise.

Looking at the overall cloud integration market, King sees two trends as paramount: 1.) the complexity of integrating the dozens, hundreds or thousands of often unique or customized legacy applications that populate any enterprise, and 2.) the process by which companies connect their internal apps/data resources to external cloud providers. "Boomi's new and improved features should help their and Dell's enterprise customers explore and achieve both of those processes far more easily than ever before," says Enderle.

Enderle says consolidation is likely the largest trend in this segment, with most industries currently undergoing massive consolidation that is driving systems together at an impressive rate. "These systems were never designed with the idea they would work with any others, and many have creators who have long since retired, making integration difficult."
