Boomi is placed in the Exemplary quadrant, furthest to the right.

Enterprises have never had more technology, and it’s become increasingly difficult to connect applications in a meaningful way. Every new app, data source, and now AI agents as well, gets layered onto legacy systems. Data remains siloed, and teams operate from conflicting versions of the truth, causing even more problems and driving up costs.

The Boomi Enterprise Platform is built to close that gap. Its decoupled, distributed runtime deploys wherever the business needs it — on-premises, behind the firewall, or in the cloud. From that foundation, Boomi connects systems, mobilizes data, and governs agentic workflows and MCP tools with the control enterprises require. The result: fragmented technology becomes operational intelligence.

We’re proud of our platform. And we’re proud to have been recognized in several ISG Research guides, including the ISG Buyers Guides™ for Data Integration and Master Data Management 2025. But we’re especially proud of our evaluation within the 2026 ISG Buyers Guide™ for Application Integration, because it showcases the core integration platform as a service (iPaaS) foundation that has made Boomi what it is today.

An Exemplary Vendor

The 2026 ISG Buyers Guide™ for Application Integration evaluated 24 software providers offering products that support application connectivity, API management, and integration process orchestration. Boomi was ranked as an Exemplary Vendor, with a Leader designation in every category the research measured.

The Exemplary Vendor classification is reserved for providers that perform above the median in both Product Experience and Customer Experience. Boomi was named a Leader in five categories in total: Overall, Product Experience, Capability, Platform, and Customer Experience.

ISG Research referenced Boomi’s expansion into agentic integration development, along with agent management and governance, as evidence of how Boomi Enterprise Platform is evolving to meet the demands of AI-driven automation without sacrificing the adaptability, manageability, reliability, and usability enterprises expect from an integration platform.

Why Application Integration Complexity Is Increasing

ISG Research defines application integration as enabling and managing direct communication between applications to support the business processes and workflows that depend on multiple systems working together. That’s always been true, but a few forces are raising the bar:

  • Integration is increasingly API-led, with APIs standardizing how systems communicate and reducing custom coding.
  • Integration is also inherently event-driven, meaning integrations need to respond to business events in real time, not on a batch schedule.
  • Agentic AI is pushing platforms to support the design, deployment, orchestration, and governance of AI agents alongside traditional integration workflows.

The Buyers Guide states that “by 2028, more than three-quarters of enterprises will rely on information architectures enabled by API-led application integration to support operational efficiency and real-time responsiveness.” That’s a meaningful shift for any organization still relying on point-to-point connections or a patchwork of tools.

Connectivity to Address Business Complexity

The strategic recommendations included in the Buyers Guide are a good checklist for any enterprise in the market: prioritize connectivity breadth, API management maturity, workflow automation, and support for hybrid and multicloud environments, and evaluate how well a platform supports AI-enabled development and agent governance without compromising security or compliance.

Boomi provides the infrastructure that enterprises need to address business complexity today and in the future. Whether you’re looking to connect everything across your ecosystem, from apps and data to APIs and AI agents, get your data and your business AI-ready, or automate and govern workflows, we’ve got you covered.
