Boomi, a leader in the field, has announced the acquisition of APIIDA’s federated API management business and the API management assets of the Cloud Software Group. This acquisition enables organizations to swiftly and securely deliver business value through API products on an end-to-end platform, accelerating Boomi’s roadmap to address the most pressing API management challenges faced by businesses today.
“APIs are the backbone of modern software and application development, becoming a cornerstone of contemporary architectures that allow companies to remain agile and effectively compete,” stated Steve Lucas, CEO of Boomi.
“However, the advent of the cloud and the explosive growth of APIs have disrupted traditional IT infrastructures. With these acquisitions, we are putting an end to operational overhead and API sprawl by offering a robust, enterprise-grade, and federated API management solution that allows customers to quickly deploy, discover, secure, and scale indefinitely on an end-to-end enterprise platform.”
APIIDA’s Federated API Management
As a leading solution for federated API management, APIIDA’s API Control Plane enhances the Boomi portfolio by providing companies with the ability to discover, manage, and deploy APIs from a central location, including those managed across various vendor gateways. This enables vendor-independent, federated management of the entire API lifecycle, customizable to each company’s requirements, ensuring consistent customer experience and governance for all APIs.
With federated API management, Boomi empowers companies to:
- Reduce complexity and costs by unifying access to all their APIs across cloud-based and on-premises API gateways from various vendors.
- Drive innovation by offering a single destination for application developers, simplifying API usage, and accelerating time to market by providing developers with a dynamic catalog where APIs can be discovered and reused.
- Enhance security and governance of vendors with complete transparency and control over all their APIs.
“Companies relying on a manual, fragmented approach for registering, managing, and publishing APIs on distributed platforms risk leaving these APIs undiscovered, overlooked, and therefore not adopted by users and applications that could benefit from them,” said Jaime Ryan, Vice President of Product, API Management at Boomi. “To successfully navigate digital transformation, companies need a proven, reliable method to connect applications and other data sources. With federated API management, customers can shorten the time to value creation with a single control layer, regardless of where APIs are deployed, and enable better discovery, management, and collaboration, while making existing APIs more visible, subscribable, and usable.”
API Management Assets from the Cloud Software Group
To further accelerate the company’s API management roadmap, Boomi has also acquired assets from the Cloud Software Group that offer enterprise-level scalability and security to Boomi customers. Developed by a team that contributed to the invention of the API economy and used by some of the world’s largest companies, these assets enable the Boomi Enterprise Platform to meet the most demanding performance and security requirements for API management in markets such as travel, retail, technology, finance, and healthcare.
