The recently released Total Economic Impact™ of the Boomi Enterprise Platform study by Forrester Consulting1 brings to light how the Boomi Enterprise Platform helped organizations achieve measurable financial returns while transforming their operational capabilities. A companion ebook, “Cost Savings and Business Benefits Enabled by the Boomi Enterprise Platform,” covers many of the study’s significant results from the perspectives of the participants.

The Integration Challenge: More Complex Than Ever
One of the founding premises of the study and eBook is that modern enterprises operate in increasingly complex environments, managing dozens of applications, systems, and data sources across cloud and on-premises infrastructure. This complexity creates significant challenges, which include:
- Manual processes that drain productivity and introduce errors
- Security vulnerabilities from inconsistent data management
- Escalating costs from maintaining legacy systems
One study participant, an integration architect in manufacturing, noted how the Boomi Enterprise Platform met these challenges.
“The stability of the platform and the holistic nature of the automation platform that it gives you is like a single plane of glass. In one application area, you see all your code base, what you’ve deployed, where you’ve deployed it, and all the executions on an ongoing basis. We appreciate the ease of use, the reliability in terms of the executions, and it’s easy to support as well.”
Impactful Results: What the Numbers Reveal
The eBook also captures the positive financial returns realized by the composite organization highlighted in the study:
- 347% ROI over three years
- $12.6 million in total benefits (present value)
- $9.8 million net present value
- Less than 6 months payback period
A senior manager of engineering at a high-tech firm attributed those results to Boomi.
“By getting the repetitive, manual work out of their way, managers are able to focus on optimizing their business processes. For example, streamlining their own internal approval process for an order so it gets booked at a much faster rate. This allows our customers to get access to our products much faster.”
Five Key Areas of Business Impact
1. Supercharged Productivity ($5.7M in Savings)
The study found that Boomi automation saved each business professional 260 hours annually. A global integration manager in manufacturing explained it this way.
“The teams whom we integrate with are taking note that the number of errors has drastically reduced and these systems are up and running almost nonstop. We don’t have choking issues where the systems go down because they cannot handle something. …our executives are taking notice of how powerful the product is and why Boomi was the right choice.”
2. Dramatically Reduced Risk ($3.0M in Savings)
Through enhanced data visibility and real-time decision-making capabilities, organizations experienced a 50% improvement in lost revenue recovery. Boomi’s unified platform enforces consistent security policies, significantly reducing breach risks and ensuring regulatory compliance.
3. Technology Cost Elimination ($1.5M in Savings)
Companies successfully retired multiple legacy integration platforms. The head of enterprise integration in the energy sector remarked:
“Our company retired about eight to nine smaller integration platforms to the tune of a couple of million dollars. The savings were spread over multiple years because replacing integration is like essential plumbing. While it’s not visible to the end user, it takes time to replace it. The team divided the savings over the course of our two- to three-year journey.”
4. IT Efficiency Gains ($1.3M in Savings)
Boomi’s intuitive interface and pre-built connectors reduced integration development time by 65%. The global manager of integration in manufacturing put it this way:
“Most of the time we save is from troubleshooting, fixing, reaching out to support, creating unnecessary service tickets to other teams, discovering the problems, hosting extra meetings to figure out what went wrong, generating unnecessary documentation, and working through emails floating around to solve the problem. … It’s an unnecessary digital waste going around all over the place.”
5. Business Acceleration ($1.2M in New Revenue)
Organizations leveraged Boomi’s capabilities to create new revenue streams and accelerate time-to-market for critical business functions, generating 0.5% incremental revenue growth through improved operational agility. The head of enterprise data and integration in the energy sector emphasized the platform’s total value.
“The biggest benefit that Boomi brings to us … is that it seamlessly brings so many different systems together. We only need a small team to manage Boomi, and yet it consistently provides an enterprise-grade experience. … it pumps our lifeblood across all kinds of systems, both internal and external. That rock-solid foundation is its value proposition for us.”
We believe the data is clear: organizations that choose Boomi don’t just solve integration challenges — they unlock new levels of operational excellence and business growth, and lay a strong foundation for agentic transformation.
