Business Challenge
Lakeside Book Company's integration environment comprised WebSphere, Informatica, and additional legacy systems interfacing with platforms like SAP, Oracle, and Ceridian. The hybrid setup of on-premises and cloud solutions led to:
- High Maintenance Costs: Legacy platforms, including WebSphere and DataStage, demanded significant hardware and licensing maintenance
- Slow Time-to-Market: The complexity of multiple platforms delayed the development of new integrations
- Lack of Cloud Readiness: Legacy systems lacked cloud compatibility, limiting full use of the cloud infrastructure
- Operational Inefficiencies: : Siloed management of platforms led to redundant efforts and communication gaps across departments
Business Requirements
Lakeside sought a solution that would:
- Modernize Integration Capabilities: Shift from legacy systems to a scalable, cloud-based platform
- Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Simplify licensing and lower maintenance costs
- Boost Operational Efficiency: Accelerate development cycles and provide real-time data access
- Build a Future-Ready Infrastructure: Create a resilient integration environment to support future growth
The Solution
Jade Global, a certified Boomi Partner, designed and executed a Boomi migration strategy to replace legacy systems with Boomi's cloud-native iPaaS platform, transforming Lakeside’s enterprise integration services. Key components of this solution included:
- Comprehensive Assessment and Planning: A detailed audit identified critical integrations, enabling strategic decisions on re-architecting versus lifting and shifting integrations.
- 200+ Integration Development: Nearly 200 integrations were deployed on Boomi across various functions, such as finance, supply chain, HR, and customer experience.
- Phased Migration Approach: The migration was executed in phases, allowing critical integrations to go live first and ensuring the continuity of business processes.
Business Benefits Achieved
The migration to Boomi iPaaS delivered substantial improvements:
- Reduced infrastructure and licensing costs by 40%, with lower overhead due to Boomi's cloud-native platform
- Improved integration deployment times by 80%, accelerating the launch of new services and enhancing business agility
- Enabled seamless scalability to handle increased data volumes and support new business processes
- Eliminated data silos and enhanced departmental collaboration through a consolidated integration landscape
