ComputerWeekly.com: Boomi Accelerators, Dell Really Does Make Software. Writer Adrian Bridgwater notes that software runs the world, and that “this means that every company is now a software company.” And Dell is proving itself as a software company with the Dell Boomi Spring Release 2017. Bridgwater is particularly impressed by Boomi’s no code integration accelerators, which are “pre-defined data mappings, pre-built tools and reusable components that can be used by developers in what manifests itself as a drag-and-drop (hence, no code) data integration and application development environment.” Full story.

Technology Decisions: Battling Big Data – The Frequently Forgotten Integration Issue. Despite big data’s promise for delivering operational efficiencies and better, many organizations have yet to realize the value of the data they have—and that data is doubling every three years, potentially becoming even more difficult to manage. To unlock the value of this data — writes David Irecki, Boomi’s manager of solution consulting in our Asia-Pacific region — enterprises need to invest in data integration and master data management (MDM). “Integration allows CIOs to break through traditional silos, giving organizations a holistic view of their big data in order to explore new insights and business models.” Full story.

CNBC Exclusive: Salesforce Chairman & CEO Marc Benioff and Dell Technologies Chairman & CEO Michael Dell on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.” Dell CEO Michael Dell joined Marc Benioff to discuss Dell’s strategic agreement to expand the use of Salesforce’s CRM platform.

Container Journal: Dell Boomi Relies on Containers to Extend Integration Reach. In a speech at the Dell EMC World 2017 conference in May, Dell Boomi CTO Michael Morton announced that Boomi was partnering with Pivotal. Boomi will deploy microcontainers on a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) based on open-source code developed by the Cloud Foundry Foundation. He noted that what distinguishes Boomi is that in addition its core integration engine, the company provides access to API management, master data management and, with the recent acquisition of ManyWho, workflow applications. In contrast, rival platforms either only address one aspect of integration or require IT organizations to leverage an external cloud service. Full story.
