ROUND ROCK, Texas — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 19, 2014 — Dell Software today announced that Dell Boomi, the leading provider of Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions, was among the 14 providers that Forrester Research, Inc. invited to participate in its first “The Forrester Wave™: Hybrid² Integration, Q1 2014.” In the evaluation, Dell Boomi was named as a “Leader” in the “wide integration,” “deep integration,” and “cloud integration” scenarios. The Forrester Wave is based on vendor surveys, product demos and customer reference calls.

According to Forrester, “The challenge of cloud-computing-related integration scenarios and the heterogeneous nature of on-premises integration tools are not two separate problems. They are closely related and connected to each other and the changing application landscape.” This dual challenge is reflected in Forrester’s use of the term “hybrid² integration.”

In examining hybrid² integration, Forrester identified different integration needs based on various application landscapes: wide integration for “heterogeneous application landscapes,” deep integration for “traditional on-premises application landscapes,” cloud integration “if the cloud becomes the main home of your business applications,” and Internet-of-Things integration, “which is still niche but can support differentiating business models.”

“Being named a ‘Leader’ in this comprehensive Forrester study is, in our opinion, significant recognition of our straightforward, easy-to-use integration solution,” said Chris McNabb, general manager of Dell Boomi. “Our single-product approach helps our customers speed the development of integration, both on-premises and in the cloud, while reducing time-to-value and achieving lower total cost of ownership.”
