Boomi World 2026: New Tools, New Partners, and a Big Acquisition to Watch

BackerLeader posted 4 min read

Boomi held its annual Boomi World conference this week in Chicago, and the announcements came fast. For developers and engineers building or managing enterprise AI systems, there's a lot here worth paying attention to — from a generally available product launch to a pair of new infrastructure partnerships and an acquisition that signals where Boomi thinks the agentic enterprise is headed.

Here's a look at what matters most.

Boomi Connect Is Now Generally Available

The headline product news for builders: Boomi Connect is generally available. The tool lets you connect any AI agent or tool to your enterprise systems and applications securely and in a governed way — without rebuilding your existing integrations.

Boomi's chief product officer credited the rapid development cycle to changes in LLM capability over the past few months. The team saw the shift, responded to customer demand, and shipped in record time. That's a short runway from observation to GA.

For developers already working with Boomi's integration layer, Connect builds on top of that existing connectivity. If your agents need access to enterprise data, this is designed to be the bridge — lightweight, with built-in governance.

Boomi Orchestrate: A New Canvas for Agentic Workflows

Boomi also officially announced Boomi Orchestrate, an AI-native canvas for building, deploying, and monitoring enterprise automations end-to-end.

What makes it different from a standard workflow tool is the starting point: you describe a goal in natural language, and Orchestrate builds a multi-agent solution from the top down using the agents already registered in your environment. That includes agents built outside Boomi — AWS Bedrock, Salesforce AgentForce, and others.

The Agent Control Tower, which sits at the center of the governance layer, inventories agents by what they actually do — not just what they were configured to do — and monitors across more than 30 agentic platforms. For teams dealing with agent sprawl, that's a practical capability, not just a checkbox.

Orchestrate also includes an MCP registry built into the API control plane. You can pull in MCP servers from multiple providers, apply your security policies, and give agents access to those tools through one interface.

One practical addition: embedded dashboards and agents. You can surface Boomi-built agents directly inside the applications where your team works, so users never have to leave their environment to interact with them.

Red Hat Partnership: Bringing Agentic AI to Hybrid Cloud

Boomi and Red Hat announced a collaboration to make agentic AI production-ready — not just experimental.

The combination pairs Boomi's agent orchestration and data activation with Red Hat AI, which includes OpenShift AI for hybrid cloud infrastructure. The pitch is simple: organizations are stuck between pilots and production because the tooling is too fragmented and the costs are unpredictable. This collaboration aims to address this by providing teams with a unified stack for building, governing, and running AI agents at scale.

From an infrastructure standpoint, the partnership also supports running open-weight models on your own infrastructure — on-premise, in your cloud, or in a sovereign data center. That matters if data privacy and cost control are concerns, and for most enterprise teams, they are.

Couchbase Partnership: Giving Agents Memory and Context

One of the more technically specific announcements involved a new partnership with Couchbase, targeting a problem that's showing up as teams move from demos to production: agents that can generate responses but don't reliably remember context or retrieve trusted business data.

Together, Boomi and Couchbase are building a foundation for agents with persistent memory, real-time data retrieval at millisecond latency, and governance on every action. Every retrieval and memory call gets observed and audited through Boomi's Agent Control Tower.

As Couchbase CEO BJ Schaknowsky put it on stage, customers don't want disconnected AI point tools. They want one trusted operational fabric. The Couchbase integration is designed to be part of that fabric.

Intent to Acquire Lunar.dev

Boomi also announced its intent to acquire lunar.dev, a company focused on governed agent connectivity across the enterprise. The founders, Eyal Solomon and Roy Gabbay, joined Boomi CEO Steve Lucas on stage in Chicago.

The strategic play here is intelligent prompt routing — directing the right prompt to the right model at the right time, based on cost, capability, and policy. Lucas was direct about where this is headed: as frontier models reach economic and capability equilibrium, enterprise-grade prompt routing will become a core infrastructure concern, similar to how load balancing works for web traffic today. Lunar.dev is the foundation for building that.

Expanded ServiceNow Partnership

Boomi also announced an expanded partnership with ServiceNow, in which Boomi serves as a launch partner for the ServiceNow Workflow Data Network Passport Program. The focus is on helping customers integrate and activate data across systems directly within the ServiceNow AI Platform, supporting real-time workflows and agentic AI use cases.

Managed services provider Lightedge used both platforms to consolidate legacy integration tools and modernize its CRM and integration strategy into a more unified environment — a concrete example of what this partnership looks like in practice.

The Bigger Picture

Boomi CEO Steve Lucas used the keynote to make a broader argument: only 7% of enterprise data is AI-ready today, and that gap is the real bottleneck for agentic AI, not the models themselves.

The platform expansion he described — Boomi Orchestrate, Boomi Connect, Red Hat infrastructure, Couchbase memory, Lunar.dev prompt routing — is clearly designed to close that gap. Whether you're building new agent workflows or trying to govern the ones that already exist, the tools announced this week give teams a more complete picture of what a production-ready agentic stack looks like.
