Boomi aXis for SAP: Where SAP Gets a Smooth Ride
Picture this: a company that already loves SAP now gets a turbo‑charged tool that breezes data around the whole system with the grace of a cat on a sunny windowsill. That’s Boomi aXis for SAP—a fresh addition to Dell Technologies’ Boomi family, unveiled at SAP Insider’s S/4HANA2020 show‑room. It lets businesses grab, mash, and move SAP data in seconds, turning those slow‑mo trading decisions into lightning‑fast choices.
Why the Buzz?
- Time is money, and in a world that pivots faster than a cat chasing a laser pointer, every minute counts.
- Traditional ERP systems are notorious culprits of data silos—hard‑to‑access spreadsheets, locked‑down databases, and endless admin layers.
- Boomi aXis throws a “no‑drama” blanket over that chaos, letting teams fetch the data they need with a click or two.
It’s the First of Its Type for SAP
Think of it as a Swiss Army knife that only uses SAP’s built‑in logic and config. It pulls and pushes data seamlessly through pre‑set templates, slashing the time it takes to write custom code. The result? More people can experiment and innovate without having to sit in front of a terminal for hours.
Breaking Silos, Building Smarts
With Event‑Driven Architecture and AI under its hood, Boomi aXis lets different parts of a business talk to each other—whether they’re using SAP or a hybrid mix of old and new tools. You can pull in real‑time metrics from phones, sensors, or your favourite SaaS platform, and let AI flag patterns that would otherwise take a human brain forever to spot.
Ed Macosky, senior VP at Boomi, summed it up: “Customers get stuck in ERP because the data is a maze. Our platform is a self‑service highway. It uses SAP’s own logic so teams get what they need, whenever they need it.”
The Power of EiPaaS, Hooked Up
Beyond just moving data, Boomi aXis offers:
- Data Wizards: No more guessing where a particular field lives in SAP. The wizard draws out table relationships automatically.
- Low‑Code Builds: If you’re cool with dragging and dropping, you can create new apps to sync data instantly.
- Unified Platform: The same base handles legacy apps, cloud tools, IoT devices, and even people—so you can watch data flow like a well‑tuned orchestra.
WWZ: A Swiss Success Story
WWZ, a big Swiss utility juggernaut handling telecom, energy, gas, water, and heating, learned the recipe for speed. They aimed to roll out fiber‑internet as a subscription to 60,000 customers, and the challenge was pulling tons of SAP data “continuously and with ease.”
Using Boomi, they Cut their data‑trip time by a staggering 9×. With pre‑built SAP templates, they could flood data into every required app without breaking a sweat.
Stefan Willi, WWZ’s CTO, says, “It’s not just about faster data, it’s about a future where we can tinker and innovate with minimal lag.”
