OpSource Embeds Boomi On Demand Into OpSource Connect
Boomi On Demand Answers SaaS Integration Challenge for OpSource Platform Customers; Makes Access to Web Services and Integration a Reality
| Source: Boomi
SANTA CLARA, CA and BERWYN, PA--(Marketwire - February 29, 2008) - OpSource, the SaaS delivery
experts, and Boomi, the market and technology leader for on-demand
integration, announced today that the companies have expanded their
partnership to include an OEM agreement whereby OpSource will embed Boomi
On Demand within its software-as-a-service (SaaS) application delivery
system. Boomi On Demand will be built directly into OpSource Connect, the
newly launched application that helps companies consume and publish Web
services and integrate SaaS applications. Within the product, Boomi On
Demand will be branded as Boomi for OpSource Connect.
This partnership will mean that third-party SaaS applications delivered
through the OpSource platform will be able to integrate with other SaaS and
on-premise applications without the need for software packages, coding or
hardware appliances. In addition, OpSource has named Boomi On Demand(SM) as
the integration connector to be used for the OpSource Services Bus (OSB).
Boomi On Demand enables OpSource clients to easily connect their
applications to the OpSource Service Bus without having to write code,
using unique Visual Integration Technology. Once connected, these clients
can easily extend these integration capabilities to their customers, taking
integration off the table as a sales objection.
"SaaS application vendors were increasingly demanding that we incorporate
integration into our SaaS delivery solution, because in reality, their
customers need it. SaaS applications have moved from being a cost-effective
point solution to a critical component of companies' infrastructures, and
as such, they need to be integrated with other important systems," said
Treb Ryan, CEO of OpSource. "By embedding Boomi On Demand directly into
OpSource Connect, we've provided customers with the solution that is the
easiest to use and the most affordable -- all without sacrificing
functionality. Together, Boomi and OpSource are empowering the SaaS
ecosystem."
OpSource On-Demand enables companies to quickly and securely offer
applications on demand. OpSource On-Demand offers a complete operational
hardware, software and networking infrastructure, including application
management and 24x7 customer-branded end-user support. With the launch of
OpSource Connect, integrating SaaS applications just became much easier,
making the OpSource solution even more valuable to the market.
Boomi for OpSource Connect will enable application and data integrations to
be built, deployed and managed directly from the Web without the burden of
installing and maintaining expensive integration software packages or
hardware appliances on premise. Using patent-pending technology, Boomi On
Demand can handle any combination of SaaS and on-premise integration
through the use of a lightweight, dynamic runtime engine called an "Atom."
Boomi Atoms (referred to as "OpSource Sockets" within OpSource Connect)
contain all the components required to execute an integration process from
end-to-end and can be used for SaaS-to-SaaS integration or downloaded
behind the firewall for on-premise integration.
Boomi president and CEO, Bob Moul, stated, "Increasingly consumers of SaaS
want to see the integration challenge addressed by independent software
vendors (ISVs). They are buying a service and want integration included in
that service. This is a trend we predicted some time ago and why we have
focused our go-to-market strategy on SaaS ISVs, technology providers and
systems integrators. OpSource has also recognized this trend, and by
teaming with Boomi, they can offer integration services natively to ISVs
who host their application on the OpSource platform. It's another great
example of how Boomi is powering the SaaS ecosystem and eliminating
integration as a barrier to SaaS adoption."
