The arrival of Covid-19 has accelerated the transition of many human activities from the real world to digital environments that can be accessible to everyone, regardless of location. This is most clearly identified in businesses and academic organizations that had to continue their operations digitally during the pandemic. To help us with this transition, we have Boomi, which makes our life easier in these difficult times. In this article we are going to give you 7 reasons that will make you choose Boomi versus other platforms in the market.
Boomi is a platform that integrates and helps to develop digital processes across disparate systems. It basically provides process management capability using digital as a vehicle for integration.
What is Boomi?
Boomi was created in 2001 and it’s an integration platform, also known as an IPaaS, that is based in the cloud. It allows companies to easily integrate applications, databases, partners and customers. We can use the following analogy to exemplify the functions that Boomi allows us to do in the technology world.
Some time ago, if we wanted to take a photograph, we used a camera, if we wanted to send a message, we used a fax machine, if we wanted to make a call, we used a telephone.
Instead, a few years later, the mobile phone came into our lives to integrate all the services above making it much more effective to take a photo, send a message and make a call, all using one single device!
We can now relate that example to the services that the Boomi platform provides, as it integrates the various functions of a company in one single place. That’s in part thanks to the storage in the cloud that allows us to have full optimization of the business procedures.
