Boomi has a long history of helping universities solve some of their toughest challenges to deliver remarkable results. These schools have streamlined recruiting and admissions, made their campuses “smarter”, provided better experiences for students, staff, and alumni, and more using the Boomi Enterprise Platform.
If you’re a Boomi customer working in Higher Education, you won’t want to miss Boomi World 2026. We’ve programmed a full lineup of sessions presented by your peers, along with experts from Boomi and our partners, sharing how universities depend on our unified platform to drive efficiency and improve experiences across and beyond their campuses.
Here’s a look at what we have planned for you:
Higher Education Community User Group Session
We’re kicking off the Higher Ed agenda with a double-length, interactive user group session designed to spark conversation, share ideas, and explore how institutions are solving integration challenges with Boomi. It’s a great way to get to know fellow professionals within your industry, learn directly from your peers, and join the conversation around common integration priorities, emerging opportunities, and what’s top of mind for higher education teams today.
Higher Education Fireside Chat: Boomi Platform Success Across Universities
- What You Will Learn: Leaders discuss how institutions can leverage Boomi to modernize data integration, streamline student lifecycle operations, and accelerate digital transformation. Panelists will share real-world insights on API-led connectivity, MDM foundations, data quality improvements, SIS/CRM integrations, and lessons learned from common pitfalls to scaling integrations across campus.
- Key Takeaway: Hear how these universities use Boomi and how you can apply their practical strategies at your campus.
Keeping Boomi Integrations Low-Touch To Stay Project-Focused
- What You Will Learn: With hundreds of systems and a small central team, integration work can easily become overwhelming. The University of Massachusetts designs Boomi processes to accelerate delivery while keeping the integration team focused on strategic work. We’ll walk through a configuration-driven framework that powers about 1,800 file transfers with minimal ongoing effort, as well as larger implementations with Slate, Canvas, SoftDocs, and Skillsoft.
- Key Takeaway: See practical patterns for low-ops design, error handling, monitoring, and clear ownership, so existing integrations largely run themselves while new business needs keep moving forward.
Boomi OpsGuardian AI – How UTS Revolutionized Ops With Self-healing Systems
- What You Will Learn: The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) faced a critical challenge. The integration landscape of Boomi, AWS, Denodo, and Kafka consumed significant, time-consuming manual IT Ops effort. This session shows how UTS used an in-house AI engine to transform integration operations. The school built Boomi OpsGuardian AI, a real-time ops intelligence solution using graph databases and natural language processing. This cuts monitoring, troubleshooting, and event correlation from days to minutes.
- Key Takeaway: Here’s an example of practical AI capabilities that reduce manual integration monitoring, improve stability, and eliminate disruptions by correlating logs, documentation, and process metadata into real-time, natural-language insights for faster issue detection and impact analysis.
Modernizing ERP Integration With Boomi Integration and API Management
- What You Will Learn: The University of New Mexico and San Juan College demonstrate how they modernized their ERP ecosystems (Ellucian Banner and Workday) using Boomi and a variety of standard integration patterns. This live-coding session will show practical approaches to processing ERP data via secure APIs and simple file transactions, both of which are essential in higher education.
- Key Takeaway: See how the colleges built scalable, reusable integrations to support student, HR, and operational needs despite different ERP platforms and mixed integration methods.
University of Melbourne’s ERP Transformation: Unifying HR & Finance With Boomi
- What You Will Learn: The University of Melbourne (UoM) has modernized its HR and finance systems through a comprehensive ERP transformation powered by the Boomi Enterprise Platform. It has consolidated systems by replacing a heavily customized Oracle E-Business Suite and seamlessly connecting Workday and other applications. In partnership with Atturra, the team delivered more than 200 HR, payroll, and finance interfaces in just two years to enhance data governance and establish a scalable foundation for future digital initiatives.
- Key Takeaway: Integration development times were cut by 60% through the use of reusable Boomi components, allowing staff to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine tasks. See how the project’s final integration was completed in just two weeks with zero operational disruption, demonstrating the strength of its architecture and delivery approach, ultimately improving service delivery for over 11,000 staff.
Transforming the Middleware Ecosystem of a Leading UK-based University
- What You Will Learn: The University of Manchester’s integration landscape comprised 700-plus integrations across more than 70 on-premises and cloud applications, supporting diverse business functions. You can imagine the development bottlenecks, manual intervention, higher TCO, and complex maintenance.Cognizant helped the university overcome these challenges by using the Boomi Enterprise Platform to improve its digital ecosystem by breaking down department silos to provide “The Connected Campus” experience for students.
- Key Takeaway: Independent departments such as the Registrar, Financial Aid, and Housing now operate more collaboratively, with real-time communication and a smooth integration between their systems that enables behind-the-scenes interoperability, making life easier for students, staff, and administrators.
We hope to see you in Chicago!
