Boomi, LP. (Location: Pennsylvania, USA; CEO: Steve Lucas), the data activation company that turns data into value, and Boomi K.K. (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Eitaro Kono) are pleased to announce that they have been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide API Management 2026 Vendor Assessment. The report evaluates the capabilities and strategies of vendors providing API management (APIM) solutions amidst the expanding AI-driven and hybrid enterprise environment.

As companies push forward with the adoption of agentic AI and hybrid architectures, strengthening and extending API governance across increasingly complex environments has become a strategic priority. APIs are crucial for enabling secure, reusable, and agent-ready access to applications and data. Boomi's API management solution, with its enterprise-grade gateway and advanced federation capabilities, allows organizations to seamlessly design, secure, and manage APIs across distributed runtime environments. Governed APIs can also be published as MCP-enabled tools, allowing AI agents to have secure and governed access to enterprise functions.

Boomi was named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide API Management 2026 for its ability and strategy to provide API management in modern, AI-driven environments.

According to the IDC MarketScape report, 'Boomi's API management solution is tightly coupled with its mature and widely adopted iPaaS, AI, and automation platform, giving customers an efficient path to incorporate integration, orchestration, and connectivity with legacy systems into managed APIs without having to combine solutions from multiple vendors.'

The IDC MarketScape also noted Boomi's 'AI-centric strategy that aims to leverage platform-level AI services in combination with API management to leverage APIs as both the foundation for and the control point for feeding AI workloads,' highlighting Boomi's unique approach to enabling the AI-driven enterprise. Furthermore, the IDC MarketScape specifically recognized Boomi's ability to support secure and scalable AI adoption by positioning APIs as governed interfaces for AI agents and applications.
