Integrating Key Construction SystemsConstruction
A large heavy construction company sought assistance with Boomi integration challenges.
They were looking to onboard new applications such as CMiC ERP, HCSS, Command Alkon, Cornerstone, and others to better support their organization and streamline information flow. These applications were integrated via Boomi to support the company’s expanding business operations and growth targets.
The lack of well-defined APIs between applications and the changing Boomi Support contacts led to prolonged development times and unreliable guidance. The team’s limited knowledge of Boomi’s best practices made logging errors and troubleshooting difficult. Despite experience with self-taught integrations, the team was not proficient in data mapping with Boomi during their transition from JD Edwards to CMiC.
