What Is Boomi?

Boomi is an iPaaS (integration platform as a service) that connects applications, data, and people across cloud and on-premises environments. The company was founded in 2000 by Rick Nucci in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. Dell acquired Boomi in 2010, and it operated as Dell Boomi until 2021, when Francisco Partners and TPG Capital acquired it in a deal valued at approximately $4 billion, making Boomi an independent company again.

Boomi AtomSphere Platform

The core platform, Boomi AtomSphere, uses a distributed runtime architecture:

• Atoms: Lightweight runtime engines deployed in cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments
• Molecules: Clustered Atoms for high-availability and load balancing
• Atom Clouds: Multi-tenant shared runtime environments managed by Boomi

Key Features

• Integration: Drag-and-drop process builder with 200+ connectors for enterprise applications (SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, NetSuite)
