Dell Boomi Integration Services

Dell Boomi is a low-code integration platform that is based in the cloud, also known as iPaaS. It allows companies to easily integrate applications, partners, and customers via the web with a visual designer and several out-of-the-box connectors. The Boomi iPasS platform enables customers to design cloud-based integration processes called Atoms and transfer data between cloud and on-premises applications. Each Atom defines what is necessary for the integration.

IPaaS stands for “Integration Platform as a Service.” A term is used to describe a set of automated tools that integrate data and IT systems that are deployed in different environments, including on-premises and in both public and private clouds.

Typically, an IPaaS platform includes pre-built connectors, business rules, maps, and transformations that facilitate the development of applications and orchestrate integration flows. Moreover, iPaaS providers often offer custom development kits to help their clients modernize legacy applications and add capabilities such as mobile support, integration with social platforms, and business data integration & management.

Boomi’s platform capabilities to connect two or more endpoints are quite impressive. They are achieved through the following tools that you can find on the platform:

– ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) – the tool is responsible for extracting data from one application, transforming it into the desired format, and then loading it into another application or database

– Master Data Hub – Boomi can act as the master data hub for your entire business to remove departmental barriers and siloed information
