Service provider DXC Technology and cloud integration platform Boomi have entered a partnership that the companies hope will get them out in front of the agentic AI wave.

The partnership includes a dedicated Boomi Center of Excellence (COE) within DXC to provide support and best practices. The COE will function as a delivery and innovation hub, providing reusable assets, field enablement, and proven implementation patterns.

James Taylor, head of enterprise transformation platforms and offerings for DXC’s consulting and engineering services, said the goal is to help customers unify AI agents to prepare for agentic AI at scale.

“It's really about positioning ourselves out ahead of that mass adoption curve that we think is inevitable,” Taylor said. “And so we were aiming to capture that steep 2026-2027 demand surge that we are very confident will occur.”

Taylor said the partnership comes after DXC conducted around 10 months of due diligence on Boomi technology.

“We manage some of the largest, most complex IT estates in the industry and as we were trying to work with our clients regarding the shift into agentic AI, it became clear we’re going to see the need for a legacy API unification across the board,” he said. “And we’ll also need ways to accelerate data migrations to some of the large-scale enterprise applications, such as ServiceNow and SAP.

“And at the end of that due diligence, we landed very heavily on Boomi.”

The DXC–Boomi partnership combines Boomi’s AI-powered automation platform with DXC’s full-stack engineering capabilities. The relationship focuses on application modernization, data migration readiness for AI, and orchestration of Boomi’s Agentstudio across critical systems at scale. DXC will deliver cloud-native integration solutions that help enterprises accelerate transformation through joint go-to-market initiatives with leading enterprise platforms.

Boomi has forged other AI partnerships, such as one with AWS around its Boomi Control Tower management solution in May designed to help customers build AI agents for use across enterprise operations. However, Boomi’s SVP of global alliances and channels Dan McAllister said the DXC relationship goes “well above and beyond any of the investments we've made in [other] partnerships.”

He said making agentic AI work at an enterprise level requires an integrated application stack and back end. McAllister said there are 50,000 customer deployments of Boomi AI agents.

“The reason why we're doing this is that there's a very big need in the market,” he said. “There's loads of customers, if not all of them, that struggle with applications for AI, getting all those applications to work together, get them implemented correctly. That's the base level opportunity for Boomi and DXC. They're a leading global systems integrator. They have great partnerships with ServiceNow, with SAP, with Oracle, all of the major packages that we see opportunity to help them implement more successfully.”

DXC’s Taylor said the COE will help DXC build the right foundation for its agentic AI program.

“We will have joint engineering teams trying to understand how we use AI capabilities,” he said. “Our engineers will be trained on multiple use cases, and we will become world class on those use cases.”
