Boomi and Solace partner to simplify enterprise integration modernization

Industry-specific applications developed for sectors such as manufacturing , healthcare , distribution , public sector , retail and hospitality have contributed to Infor now having more than 14,000 customers in the Infor Cloud .
Infor is focused on delivering end to end functionality in the cloud , with an increase of more than 200 % in on-premises customers upgrading to the cloud and 112 % growth in ACV ( Annual Contract Value ) bookings from May through June .
Infor aims to deliver unmatched multitenant cloud capabilities , as well as bestin-class data management and analytics capabilities through the Infor Data Lake and Infor Birst . In addition , Infor ’ s experienced professional services team and a deep channel and partner network can help bring customers online quickly , with no material disruptions to their businesses .
Over the last 12 months , Infor has made significant industry-specific product updates that are designed to help customers better manage three important assets in their businesses : people , physical assets and supply chains . These include new capabilities in Human Capital Management ( HCM ), Enterprise Asset Management ( EAM ) and Supply Chain Management ( SCM ). Infor ’ s cloud solutions are designed to drive new levels of usability , connectivity and insight .

Boomi , a Dell Technologies business and leading provider of cloudbased Integration-as-a-Service ( iPaaS ), and Solace , a leading provider of event streaming and management capabilities , has announced PubSub + Connector for Boomi .

The announcement further expands the partnership , creating deeper integrations thereby creating a better , more seamless user experience for customers .
Digital Transformation involves modernizing legacy applications and integrating hybrid architectures so organizations can operate in real time and have the agility necessary to rapidly create new services and capabilities . Efforts are hampered by a lack of tools capable of enabling event-driven integration – the real time movement of information triggered by events that can happen across a distributed enterprise and among application and IoT ecosystems that traverse various data centres and public clouds .
“ In this era of uncertainty , it ’ s essential organizations – small or large – supplement their workforce with automated digital processes that empower them to make decisions and changes overnight , if not sooner ,” said David Irecki , Director of Solutions Consulting Asia-Pacific and Japan ( APJ ) at Boomi .
“ Companies leaning on fragmented or incomplete data management strategies risk rigidity at a time when responsiveness is critical to not just business but the welfare of employees . The out-of-the-box PubSub + Connector provides event-driven integrations to link apps across any cloud or on-premises environments , giving businesses a new level of control over their data .” •
