A retail enterprise utilizes Boomi to modernize their workflow

About the client

The client is a popular retail chain following a traditional workflow model. They required a more dynamic, modern platform that could handle large volumes of data and, at the same time, decrease their turnaround time.

Client requirement

The client used a traditional model of point-point integration, which caused delays in data transfer from different systems. Moreover, the user experience took a massive hit due to the lack of API-driven design.
Tightly coupled integrations led to a cumbersome experience for the customers. In addition, a lack of strategy was apparent due to poor design layouts.
Another big concern was that application teams manually managed most of the integration projects. This hampered their workflow and caused many errors.

Solution

PreludeSys is an industry leader in offering customized iPaaS solutions. As a Boomi advanced partner, the PreludeSys team assessed the client’s existing workflows to understand the automation needs and recommended the best-fit solution.
Based on the observations, the team formulated a well-planned API-driven strategy. Boomi’s API management helped in creating a centralized database.
Design guidelines for all the integrations will help in future alterations and customization.
Using Boomi’s API-driven approach, a rigid governance process is established for project initiation and SDLC. This helped shift governance from the applications team to a new central integrations team.
