Larry Quinlan, Boomi
Connectivity and automation specialist Boomi has announced the appointment of former Deloitte CIO Larry Quinlan as an independent, non-executive member of its board of directors, amid a revamp of its partner program.
As the former global chief information officer for Deloitte, Quinlan was responsible for the professional services giant’s $45 billion technology strategy and operations, overseeing more than 10,000 IT professionals across 175 countries.
Quinlan also sits on the board of cloud digital workflow firm ServiceNow, real estate service provider Jones Lang LaSalle, as well as UBS America Holding, where he chairs the board’s Technology and Cyber Forum.
Boomi said Quinlan’s expertise would help the business navigate its “next phase as a company”.
“Boomi’s continued leadership, along with its award-winning platform and culture, make this company a force to be reckoned with,” commented Quinlan. “I am honored to serve the Boomi team at this exciting time.”
The appointment follows the transformation of Boomi’s partner program, which has been expanded to include new opportunities for its partners to create plug-and-play ‘accelerators’ for customers, as well as simplified resources of training.
Partners can now create their own accelerators for customers to set up in their Boomi accounts to address specific use cases, providing additional revenue opportunities and speeding up time to valuation customers.
Boomi said it will provide implementation expertise in vertical industry use cases such as manufacturing, life sciences, financial services, retail, transportation, and higher education.
The addition follows a string of investments in the company’s partner program over the past year, which included the expansion of its partner resource center, as well as the launch of pre-built solution library Boomi Discover.
“These enhancements to our program will help us expand our relationships with existing partners, and in turn, provide stronger service to our customers, many of whom desire specialized expertise in industry,” said Ed Macosky, chief innovation officer at Boomi.
“These updates lay the groundwork to deliver more partners around the world, giving our customers more ways to quickly and easily solve their complex business problems.”
A world-renowned software-as-a-service (SasS) company, Boomi has a growing user community of over 100,000 members and boasts one of the largest arrays of global system integrators (GSIs) in the iPaaS space .
The company’s global network of partners includes Accenture, Deloitte, SAP, and Snowflake, as well as cloud services giants AWS, Google, and Microsoft.
