BERWYN, PA--(Marketwire - November 13, 2007) - Boomi™, the emerging industry leader for
on-demand integration, today announced that Louis (Lou) E. Chappuie will
join Boomi as the vice president of partner programs. Located in California
among major SaaS (software as a service) technology leaders, Chappuie will
play a key role in continuing the development of the Boomi On Demand(SM)
channel partner program. Boomi's new office is located at 1840 Gateway
Drive, Suite 200, San Mateo, CA 94404.
Announced in June 2007, Boomi On Demand has gained significant customer and
partner attention. Participation in the company's beta program, launched at
salesforce.com's Dreamforce 2007, has climbed dramatically to nearly 100
participants in just two months. Boomi On Demand is the industry's only
complete on-demand integration service, making it possible for companies to
link any combination of SaaS and on-premise applications without the burden
of installing and maintaining software packages or hardware appliances.
Chappuie brings to Boomi a wealth of knowledge in the software and service
industry. In his most recent experience as vice president of the education
systems division for MAXIMUS, Inc., he helped grow the division's business
from $2.0M to over $80M in sales. Prior to MAXIMUS, Chappuie had
international service experience with Cap Gemini Ernst & Young LLC as a
manager and senior consultant working with PeopleSoft.
"In recent months, Boomi has made significant strides in the SaaS arena,
positioning Boomi On Demand to fundamentally redefine the integration
market," explained Bob Moul, Boomi's president and CEO. "We anticipate that
the majority of our On Demand growth will be through the partner community,
which makes Lou's hire a very critical one for us. In addition, we realize
the importance of having a West Coast presence to cultivate and grow these
relationships."
"I'm eager to join a rapidly growing, innovative company like Boomi,"
stated Lou Chappuie. "The Bay area is rich with technology leaders in the
SaaS space, making it a prime location for Boomi to expand. I look forward
to using my high-tech industry expertise to assist in Boomi's continued
growth and success."
Chappuie holds an MBA from Indiana University and a Bachelor of Arts in
economics from the University of Notre Dame.
