Integrating your business systems within your organization in the best way to relay information from all departments, workers, and systems, into one single source of truth. When it comes to integration, Boomi is a master of its craft. Boomi is a cloud integration platform used to connect cloud and on-premise data and applications. Keep reading to learn more about all the applications and tools that qualify for Boomi integrations so you can start connecting your systems.
Running a business that uses multiple systems can be like taking a conference call from multiple different phones. It can be very difficult to relay information to yourself and others around you, when you’re relaying information from multiple different people, on multiple different lines.
The only way to efficiently and seamlessly relay information from all your sources is to have them communicate with each other, into one single source of truth.
That’s where integration comes in.
What Is An Integration?
Firstly, you may be wondering what we’re talking about here. Well, integrating is the process of connecting smaller components into a single system that functions as one.
In an IT and software context, software integration refers to the process of connecting different, often disparate or siloed, subsystems. That way, the data contained in each becomes part of a larger, more comprehensive system that can easily and seamlessly share data when needed.
There are, generally speaking, two types of system integrations:
- B2B Integration — Integrating data or systems across two or more organizations.
- Application Integration — Integrating data or systems within a single organization.
Oftentimes, in order to integrate siloed systems, companies build a customized architecture or structure of applications to combine new or existing hardware, software, and other communications. Companies that cannot do this themselves turn to integration partners.
What is Boomi?
