With the rise of on-demand enterprise software from Salesforce.com (CRM) to Zuora (online billing), businesses using more than one service still have to figure out how to send data from one system to the other, and hook into their old legacy data-center software as well. A startup called Boomi is aiming to solve that problem. It raised its first $4 million institutional round of venture financing today from FirstMark Capital.
Boomi is targeting small and medium-sized businesses that don’t have the IT resources to do this integration work on their own. It can connect Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications to each other and to data center apps.
Some examples of SaaS-to-SaaS integrations it can handle are Salesforce, NetSuite, Intacct, SmartTurn, Zuora, and Taleo. It can also integrate those with on-premise applications such as QuickBooks, Microsoft Great Plains, and SAP (or directly into a database using an FTP or HTTP connection). Here is a list of all the applications it supports.
No EDI/AS2 support. Enterprise?
“businesses that don’t have teh IT resources”
You also made a spelling error.
I don’t actually use any of these services but it appears to be invaluable if you do.
PS> Nice spelling error. I love the word teh
What ever happened to spell check?
QBXML is notably not on the list, neither is interchange with QB Webconnect, neither is EDI/INT/AS2 which is a standard for B2B enterprise data exchange.

Who cares about his spelling? read the post and stop complaining about the way one word was mispelt. grow up.
“about the way one word was mispelt. ”
@6, it’s misspelt, not mispelt.
We are grown up. Thats why we care about spelling. Especially when even blackberries come with a built in checker. Spelling words incorrectly gets your resume thrown in the garbage, so why should I faithfully accept a journal article? The author’s carelessness in spelling calls into question the entire validity of the article.
I actually have a provisional patent pending on technology that will allow search engines like the one I built organize indexed page results according to their spelling and grammatical errors. It will also highlight those errors in the search results synopsis. I talked about my 2 patents I took out this year in a blog post yesterday.
This should revolutionize spelling on the internet. When search engines shame people for bad use of language by highlighting that in search results, they will stop, roll and pull out a dictionary to correct themselves.

Little kids all over the world will be laughing at huge corporations as they search for errors all over their websites.
Boomi is not a new company by any means - they are one of the best EDI commerce hubs on the market, challenging Seeburger for the top spot.
You can read about Boomi in context of the larger suppply chain market in my report, available on scribd:

isnt this article ment to be on TechcrunchIT ?
Sweet sweet any thing with on-demand is cool with me. I love stuff when I want it.
@8 evan
I’ll remember that when I apply to your company
@9 Chris
Get a real website, not a free one from site spaces. If you can spend that much money on 2 patents, maybe spend a couple hundred on a website that doesn’t make you look like you’ve been using the internet for 2 months
Following chris and evans logic, a single misSpelt word in a post means it is garbage. A blog is supposed to be about content, a typo of ‘the’ is just that, a typo, and shouldn’t be given any more thought.
Who are their competitors???? What does the space look like? Check it.. http://www.readtheanswer.com/index.php?RTA=web2

This does not sound like a big deal. I created a similar setup using the iMacros Web Browser scripting component. It took me less than a week, works with all our in-house applications and we remain full control over the setup.
Plus, their service seems quite expensive (> $1500). Or does this price include on-site consulting?
