My Big Surprise
Ever had one of those "Wait, what?" moments? You know, the kind where what you thought you knew gets turned on its head? Well, that’s exactly what happened to me, Larry Cone, at BoomiWorld this year.
Setting the Stage
Our mission for Kitepipe at BoomiWorld was clear: introduce and showcase the power of monitoring your Boomi Runtime with our new tool, AtomWatch. We scheduled an Expo floor event, expecting a modest turnout of curious onlookers and maybe a few die-hard Boomi techies. Little did we know, we were in for a surprise.
The Event: Standing Room Only
BoomiWorld was buzzing. Our little event on Boomi Runtime monitoring drew over 80 people – so many that they overflowed onto the show floor. It was standing room only, folks. As we demoed AtomWatch, answering questions and seeing nods of understanding, the level of interest was palpable. It was like unveiling a magic trick and watching the crowd’s eyes light up. People were genuinely excited, and so were we.
My Big Surprise
The real shocker came later. When we reviewed the attendee list and saw the interest in our follow-up webinar, I was floored. These weren't just any Boomi users; they were some of the biggest Boomi customers out there, running 20+ production nodes in some cases. We’re talking big-league players with large, sophisticated Boomi teams. And guess what? They had the same monitoring and visibility problems as everyone else.
Rethinking the Target Customer
Initially, we thought AtomWatch would be a lifesaver for smaller Boomi customers without dedicated support teams, providing them with advanced alerting features. But what we learned at BoomiWorld flipped our assumptions upside down. Large, sophisticated Boomi customers also needed AtomWatch. For them, it wasn't just about having a monitoring tool – it was about filtering the important alerts from the noise. AtomWatch, built on the Datadog platform, gives you the powerful tools to filter, detect, alert on, and even predict Boomi problems, whether you're running 20 process executions a day or 2000.
The Essential Tool for Mission-Critical Integrations
Here’s the big takeaway: as long as your integrations are mission-critical, you need AtomWatch. It doesn't matter if you're a small startup or a Fortune 50 giant; if your Boomi processes are vital to your operations, AtomWatch is your go-to solution.
Conclusion: A New Perspective
So, that’s my big BoomiWorld surprise. What started as a small demo turned into a revelation about our product's true potential and audience. If you’re navigating the complex world of Boomi integrations, remember this story. Think of Kitepipe and AtomWatch as your trusty guides, ready to help you avoid those "missing transaction" integration emergencies.
Until next time, stay curious, stay innovative, and keep an eye out for those game-changing insights.
