Meet the Authors
Key Takeaways
⇨ Boomi and AWS have entered a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement aimed at assisting customers in migrating SAP workloads to AWS and enhancing the integration of SAP systems with non-SAP applications.
⇨ The partnership emphasises improved SAP connectivity, with Boomi's certified native integration solution simplifying integration timelines and supporting advanced ELT capabilities, which help organisations efficiently transfer data to AWS for analytics and AI.
⇨ With 58% of SAP customers utilising AWS, the collaboration aims to address migration challenges and make strategic AI and analytics accessible by enabling seamless movement of SAP data to AWS-powered ecosystems.
Boomi and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have entered a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) to assist customers in building, managing, monitoring, and governing generative artificial intelligence (AI) agents across enterprise operations. The SCA, which was announced during Boomi World in Dallas on May 14, will help customers accelerate SAP workload migration from on-premises environments to AWS.
Focus on SAP Integration and Modernisation
A key component of the SCA is how the collaboration enhances Boomi for SAP. This SAP-certified native integration solution simplifies and expedites connectivity between SAP and non-SAP systems.
Using this as a foundation, the Boomi-AWS partnership aims to reduce integration timelines and support cloud migration with modern extract, load, transform (ELT) capabilities, stemming from Boomi’s Rivery acquisition. This allows organisations to efficiently move SAP data into AWS-powered data warehouses or data lakes, enabling real-time analytics and AI initiatives. Additionally, the partnership empowers organisations to connect SAP to non-SAP applications, transfer data to the cloud, and leverage it for AI and analytics.

A Two-Way Connection
Some of the other key features of the Boomi-AWS collaboration include:
- Agent Control Tower: Integrated with Amazon Bedrock, this component of Boomi Agentstudio (formerly Boomi AI Studio) provides multi-cloud governance for AI agents, offering comprehensive visibility, proactive monitoring, and control.
- Enhanced Agent Designer: Now integrated with Amazon Q index, Boomi’s low-code Agent Designer facilitates the rapid creation of AI agents with improved contextual understanding and model selection.
- New Native AWS Connectors: Boomi has introduced new native connectors for AWS Lambda, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon DynamoDB, and the Amazon Selling Partner Appstore, enabling seamless integration across various AWS services.
For SAP professionals, this partnership signifies a move towards more streamlined integration processes, potentially faster and more secure migrations of SAP landscapes to AWS, and a governed approach to deploying AI agents that can leverage valuable SAP data.
What This Means for Mastering SAP Insiders
Integration is a primary challenge for organisations. According to SAPinsider’s SAP S/4HANA Migration 2025 report, robust integrations between core ERP and line of business applications are a key requirement for 78% of organisations migrating to SAP S/4HANA. The Boomi-AWS collaboration, particularly with Boomi for SAP, directly targets this by aiming to simplify connectivity between SAP and non-SAP systems. For SAP professionals, this potentially reduces the burden on teams managing increasingly heterogeneous landscapes where only about 24% run predominantly SAP solutions.
The push towards Cloud ERP continues. Many SAP customers already run workloads in the cloud, and AWS is a popular choice, with 58% of SAP customers using AWS for their workloads, according to SAPinsider research. However, migration challenges like complexity and the need for minimal disruption remain a key hurdle for users. The Boomi-AWS SCA’s focus on accelerating SAP migrations to AWS, supported by modern ELT capabilities, aims to provide a smoother, faster path, helping organisations meet tight deadlines like the 2027 end of mainstream maintenance for ECC, which is a major driver for SAP S/4HANA migration projects.
Unlock SAP data for strategic AI and analytics. Moving to the cloud is often a precursor to leveraging advanced capabilities. Many users who have moved their SAP to the cloud are now looking to harness AI, machine learning, and analytics to improve their operations. The Boomi-AWS collaboration facilitates this by enabling efficient movement of SAP data to AWS data lakes and warehouses, making it accessible for services like Amazon Bedrock. It also aligns with the growing importance of AI. SAPinsider research indicates two-thirds of SAP users believe it is important for application development tools to include AI capabilities. Thus, streamlined data integration is essential to realise the benefits of AI and advanced analytics on SAP data.
