Dell acquires cloud computing company, Boomi

Boomi offers the industry’s only pure SaaS application integration platform that takes the cost and complexity out of integrating applications by allowing easy transfer of data between cloud-based and on-premise applications with no appliances, no software and no coding required.

Boomi’s technology solutions are widely used with the world’s leading cloud-based applications, including Salesforce CRM, as well as marketing, financial, human resources, content management and service-desk management.

“Using Boomi has driven incredible results not only for the sales team at Global Forex, but for the company at large because of the value of having a single dashboard of customer data,” said Tom Fox, Salesforce Operations Manager, Global Forex. “With AtomSphere, we were able to eliminate 95 percent of our integration costs and now have a completely transparent platform that allows us to analyze customer data real-time.”

Working directly with customers and through its growing network of channel providers, Boomi manages millions of transactions a month and has completed tens of thousands of cloud integrations for hundreds of customers globally across a wide spectrum of industries.

“For years, Dell has been working directly with our customers and SaaS leaders to understand the value cloud computing can bring and the issues customers face when contemplating this paradigm shift,” said Steve Felice, president, Dell Consumer, Small and Medium Business. “Twenty-six years ago we helped accelerate the move to client-server computing; today we’ll help drive a similar transformation with customers turning to the cloud to drive costs down and innovation up.”

Today’s announcement represents another step by Dell to build a technology portfolio for growing businesses seeking the benefits of web-based computing while addressing one of the top barriers to cloud adoption – managing and integrating cloud-based applications with existing applications and databases.

As businesses embrace SaaS, Boomi helps customers deploy application integrations in record time with dramatically lower costs and realize productivity and efficiency improvements over traditional models.

Terms of Dell’s acquisition of Boomi were not disclosed. The purchase is subject to customary closing conditions.

Work, school, play: Here’s what I love most about Dell’s 2-in-1 laptop — $200 off
Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 7420 front angled view with keyboard folded under and showing display.

 

Sometimes, you need a proper laptop with a keyboard, mouse, and a traditional screen. Other times, it works better to have a tablet, with a viable touchscreen to navigate. For example, if I'm typing up a meaty article or report then I want that keyboard. But if I'm waiting some time at the airport, kicking back trying to watch a show or movie, then I want the tablet format. The best part about a 2-in-1 laptop is you get all of that in a single package. You can unfold normally like a laptop, or fold it backward -- convertible style -- to set the computer up like a tablet. You can also do a bunch of other configurations, like standing up the system to prop it up and keep your hands free. Most 2-in-1 laptops are pretty expensive, though. You can find many of these versatile devices in student laptop deals and back to school laptop deals, of course.
