OpSource™, the SaaS delivery experts and Boomi™, the emerging industry leader in on-demand integration, announced today that the two firms have formed a partnership designed to accelerate the adoption of the on-demand delivery model by removing integration as a major barrier. Although the acceptance and popularity of SaaS applications has continued to rise at a dramatic pace, integration has been the Achilles heel of the SaaS industry. Software companies looking to migrate their offerings to a SaaS delivery model are faced with the challenge of integrating their products with other SaaS and on-premise applications. Under the terms of the agreement, Boomi will provide on-demand integration capabilities to companies building SaaS applications and OpSource will deliver and manage those applications.
