Boomi & AWS join forces to boost generative AI governance

Yesterday

Boomi and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have entered into a multi-year strategic collaboration aimed at helping enterprises manage generative artificial intelligence (AI) agents at scale and facilitating accelerated SAP migrations to AWS.

The agreement integrates Boomi's Agent Control Tower with Amazon Bedrock, which offers organisations a centralised platform to build, monitor, and govern AI agents across various cloud environments, maintaining security, compliance, and governance standards required by enterprises.

The collaboration includes native support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), new low-code AI agent design features through Amazon Q index, a suite of SAP-certified connectors and data migration tools, and marks Boomi's achievement of its fifth AWS Competency, specifically in Generative AI.

Rahul Pathak, Vice President, Data & AI GTM at AWS, commented on the industry needs that have shaped the partnership: "As we've worked with thousands of customers adopting generative AI, one thing has become clear—enterprises need robust solutions to effectively deploy, monitor, and govern AI agents across their technology environments."

Enterprises today face significant challenges managing AI agents across fragmented platforms, leading to increased security risks and operational inefficiencies. As the adoption of AI agents grows, companies are seeking reliable methods to monitor, secure, and optimise their AI operations within diverse technology landscapes.

Through the integration of Amazon Bedrock—a managed service providing access to a broad array of AI models—with Boomi's Agent Control Tower, enterprises will be able to discover, build, and manage AI agents within their AWS environments, while retaining oversight over third-party and multi-cloud AI resources. A single API interface within Amazon Bedrock supports the implementation of generative AI applications, and includes features to ensure privacy, responsible AI usage, and security, with added support for MCP to facilitate secure data connectivity and governance.

Steve Lucas, Chairman and CEO at Boomi, said: "Our Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS comes at a critical inflection point where enterprise AI adoption requires a delicate balance between innovation and governance. By integrating Amazon Bedrock's powerful generative AI capabilities with Boomi's Agent Control Tower, we're giving organisations unprecedented visibility and control across their entire AI ecosystem while simultaneously accelerating their critical SAP workload migrations to AWS. This partnership enables enterprises to confidently scale their AI initiatives with the security, compliance, and operational excellence their business demands."

The collaboration will launch several joint initiatives. These include the integration of Boomi's Agent Control Tower with Amazon Bedrock, providing holistic governance of AI agents across multiple cloud providers. The solution offers comprehensive visibility, proactive monitoring, and control over both Boomi-authored and third-party AI agents, supporting on-premises, public, or hybrid cloud environments with enterprise-level security and compliance.

Boomi's enhanced low-code Agent Designer, integrated with Amazon Q index, enables rapid development of AI agents with contextual understanding and advanced model selection. These agents can be built, trained, and deployed through Boomi's platform, with subsequent management capabilities for scale and continued governance.

The partnership also brings new native AWS connectors, facilitating integrations with AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Bedrock, and the Amazon Selling Partner Appstore. These connectors streamline workflows such as serverless computing and e-commerce. Additionally, Boomi for SAP delivers SAP-certified integration, reducing the time required for connectivity between SAP and non-SAP applications and supporting cloud migrations with updated extract-load-transform (ELT) functionalities made possible by Boomi's recent acquisition of Rivery.

Amit Sinha, President and Co-Founder of WorkSpan, described the impact of the partnership on business operations: "As we expand AI-driven automation across our business, Boomi and AWS are essential partners enabling us to securely manage complexity and scale innovation. Utilising Boomi's integration capabilities combined with AWS infrastructure, we seamlessly connect diverse systems, accelerate SAP and AI initiatives, and maintain essential visibility and governance across our technology landscape—significantly enhancing our ability to innovate quickly and confidently."

In recognition of these advancements, Boomi has been acknowledged as an AWS Generative AI Competency Partner, its fifth such distinction. This specialisation is given to AWS partners that aid customers and the AWS Partner Network in advancing services, tools, and infrastructure for generative AI. Boomi's achievement demonstrates its practical expertise in using AWS technologies, including Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q, and Amazon SageMaker, and underlines its technical best practices in generative AI deployment and management.
