BERWYN, Pa. & RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 27, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Boomi, the market and technology leader for on-demand integration and StrikeIron, the leader in providing innovative solutions for delivering data over the Internet, today announced a partnership focused on driving Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) adoption by enabling seamless integration of StrikeIron's Marketplace Web services into Boomi On Demand(SM). Boomi users can now integrate the full spectrum of business intelligence, CRM, e-commerce and financial solutions that StrikeIron offers with no additional coding required.

The StrikeIron Web Services Marketplace provides over 100 data services from leading technology suppliers including Cortera, D&B, Gale, MapQuest, Midnight Trader, Tax Data Systems, Wall Street Horizon, and Zacks. Using the Internet as a platform, StrikeIron supplies business users and enterprises with a single location for accessing quality data for seamless integration into any application, mashup platform, product or Web site.

"With Boomi's rich functionality and true SaaS-based model, users can easily create custom solutions leveraging critical data, provided in the StrikeIron Marketplace, such as D&B or Gale business data or Cortera credit scores," explained Bob Brauer, president and founder of StrikeIron. "This data can now be easily and securely integrated, using only a Web browser, with Boomi's connections for NetSuite, Oracle E-Business Suite, Peachtree, Quick Books, Salesforce and SAP ERP." Boomi On Demand handles any combination of software-as-a-service (SaaS) and integration with most on premise applications. In addition, integration can be accomplished at a fraction of the cost of enterprise integration software. Once integration processes are built, they are deployed via a lightweight, dynamic runtime engine called an "AtomSM." Built with patent pending technology, Boomi Atoms contain all the components required to execute an integration process from end-to-end including connectors, transformation rules, decision handling and processing logic. Boomi Atoms are completely self-contained and autonomous and can be run on virtually any server. They can be hosted for SaaS-to-SaaS integration or downloaded behind a company's firewall for SaaS to on premise integration.

"This is a natural combination of leading SaaS technologies for data and integration services.
