Surprisingly Useful AI Article Enhancements
New Offering Aims To Improve Security And Efficiency
Boomi has introduced a comprehensive API management solution designed to tackle API sprawl and enhance Ai capabilities within enterprises. The new solution, part of the Boomi Enterprise Platform, integrates Boomi’s existing API management tools with assets acquired from Cloud Software Group and APIIDA.
According to research from IDC, organisations deploying GenAi-enhanced applications and services have nearly five times more APIs than those without significant investments in Ai. The rapid expansion of APIs can introduce security risks and operational complexity if not properly managed.
Shari Lava, Senior Research Director For Ai And Automation at IDC, said effective API management is now essential.
“APIs are the backbone of Ai-driven innovation, enabling seamless interaction between models, agents and enterprise systems. Without proper management, businesses risk losing control of their Ai initiatives and missing opportunities for growth,” Lava said.
Managing API Growth And Security
Boomi’s new API management offering is designed to provide governance, security and scalability. It supports Boomi and third-party API gateways and incorporates Boomi Ai Agents to help organisations streamline operations and close security gaps.
Sebastiaan Kalshoven, Chief Technology Officer at De Volksbank, highlighted the benefits of the new platform.
“Boomi provides our management and IT teams with visibility across our entire API landscape. It scans APIs, strengthens governance and enables the implementation of developer portals for both internal and external use,” Kalshoven said.
Key Features Of Boomi API Management
- Governance And Security: Provides enhanced visibility and governance to eliminate shadow APIs, improve quality and reusability, and support Ai-driven workflows.

Ed Macosky, Chief Product And Technology Officer at Boomi, said APIs are critical to digital operations.
“APIs underpin the global digital economy and play a key role in the Ai era. Managing them effectively is crucial for business success. Boomi API Management helps organisations accelerate growth by integrating industry-leading automation and data management capabilities,” Macosky said.
