Custom Integration Solutions

When an already-existing API does not meet the business needs for a system integration, the creation of a new API, modification of an existing API, or development of a separate Boomi process may be the best approach. The Boomi Cloud platform provides powerful development tools that can be used to create APIs and processes that meet almost any integration need.

The University’s integrations team consults with colleges and units across the entire system to identify and support the development of custom integrations solutions. To connect with the integrations team, contact oit-integration@umn.edu, and include the following information:

• Describe the business need, including processes or decisions support, that access to the CDL will fulfill.

• What system will consume the data from the CDL?

• What data elements need to be involved in the integration?

• Describe the audience of the application that will be consuming the API. Who will use the system consuming this data and will it be available at the individual data element level or in aggregated format in this system? 

• Any date or deadline to complete the integration solution. Note that the integration team cannot guarantee last-minute requests will be met; the classification of data requested and overall scope of the request determines the length of time needed to develop a solution.
