The Multiplied Value of a Robust and Interconnected Digital Ecosystem

by Paul Van Siclen
Published Oct 15, 2024

The Boomi Enterprise Platform is used by more than 20,000 organizations, and by a large ecosystem of partners, to deliver outcomes that are undeniable. Our customers can realize massive cost savings through vendor consolidation on and through the Boomi platform, accelerate productivity through our low-code approach, reduce the complexity of hybrid cloud orchestration, and of course, orchestrate an AI-led future for businesses.

Metcalfe’s Law provides an avenue to quantify these outcomes. It states that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users within that network. In the context of the Boomi integration and automation platform, this principle underscores the immense value generated as more applications, data sources, and APIs are integrated. As organizations expand their connectivity and enhance collaboration across systems, the exponential growth in interactions not only optimizes operations but also unlocks new opportunities for innovation and efficiency, creating a powerful ecosystem that drives business success.

This concept is illustrated in more than 150 customer case studies available on the Boomi website. These real-world examples demonstrate how organizations have harnessed the power of the Boomi Enterprise Platform to enhance operational efficiency, increase revenue, and respond more effectively to market demands. Each integration established through the Boomi platform serves as a testament to Metcalfe’s Law, showcasing the multiplied value that comes from a robust and interconnected digital ecosystem.

Here are three samples from the site that I see being repeated throughout our customer base:

Combatting Complexity With a Unified Platform

A global leader in the eyewear market, EssilorLuxottica processes 70-80,000 daily orders. The Boomi Enterprise Platform enabled the company to reduce costs, optimize its data integration infrastructure, and achieve its goal of a 30-second end-to-end order processing SLA.

“We need a service-level agreement that could effectively oversee immediate integration, not via batch data integration nor synchronous, but one that is real time and asynchronous” — Mel Yuson, Director of Architecture, EssilorLuxottica

Solving the Hybrid/Multicloud Dilemma With Seamless Data Orchestration

Boomi helps inform Australian energy provider’s Origin Energy’s intraday optimization, such as monitoring trends of pipelines and equipment, planning for fields and drilling, understanding where money is spent, determining and managing environmental impact, analyzing regulatory obligations, safety, creating an end-to-end audit trail alongside governance automation, and much more.

Origin used the Boomi Enterprise Platform to build more than 1,500 integrations between SAP S/4HANA, SAP Inventory, Salesforce, and other line of business applications. Build processes that can take up to six weeks with a traditional legacy integration platform took Origin an average of just one week with Boomi. This roughly 80 percent reduction in time has freed Origin’s IT team to focus on high-value work.

“Boomi integrates core applications, data, and platforms across the gas and retail businesses, providing a reliable and uncomplicated foundation to drive informed decision-making across every part of the company.” — Sripurna Das, Technology Head of IT Data Services & Support, Origin Energy
