Singapore – Boomi, an intelligent integration and automation platform, has recently announced the launch of its new API control plane, with the goal of accelerating business innovation, enhancing developer efficiency, and strengthening API governance.
This move offers enterprises a unified platform to discover, manage, and regulate all APIs across their organisations.
For this initiative, the new API control plane provides a centralised API discovery to locate all APIs from one source, bringing shadow APIs under control.
By gaining control over these shadow APIs, organisations can now enhance API consumption across the enterprise, driving new efficiencies and fostering opportunities for innovation.
It also features simplified API management across gateways, enhanced productivity with a consistent developer experience, and insights into API performance and usage. This further extends the value of existing on-premises and cloud investments.
Additionally, the strengthened API governance among its features ensures consistent policies across platforms, mitigates data breach risks, streamlines security audits, and simplifies compliance.
Commenting about the initiative, Ed Macosky, chief product and technology officer at Boomi, said, “APIs are the backbone of modern digital transformation, yet managing them across various platforms remains a significant challenge for many organisations. Unlike other APIM vendors, Boomi provides a federated API management approach that is truly vendor-independent, enabling organisations to utilise existing on-premises and cloud API runtimes effectively while addressing API sprawl.”
“With the Boomi API Control Plane, we are setting a new standard for API management by offering an integrated, holistic solution that simplifies operations, strengthens governance, and accelerates innovation,” Macosky elaborated.
Shari Lava, senior research director, AI and automation at IDC, further shared, “Organisations increasingly need federated API management to handle the complex and diverse API landscapes that span multiple environments and platforms. A centralised, federated approach can enable consistent governance, security, and monitoring across all APIs, reducing risks and enhancing operational efficiency.”
