TL;DR — Key Takeaways

  • Boomi adds data observability: The Elementary Data acquisition expands its ability to detect data problems before they affect applications and AI agents.
  • Reliable data underpins agent reliability: Elementary monitors data quality and freshness and traces errors down to individual database columns.
  • Open-source development will continue: Boomi plans to maintain Elementary’s commercial service and open-source project.

Enterprise integration provider Boomi has acquired Israeli data observability startup Elementary Data for a reported $45 million, expanding its platform’s ability to monitor and manage the data used by AI agents.

The deal supports Boomi’s effort to extend its role beyond connecting enterprise applications into managing the quality of data used by AI. As companies use autonomous agents across business processes, verifying data before agents act is becoming a crucial requirement.

Elementary Data provides automated monitoring of data pipelines, detecting problems with data accuracy and freshness. Its tools can trace information through complex enterprise systems, tracking changes down to individual database columns.

This detailed tracking helps IT teams determine where an error started and which applications or AI models might be affected. For companies running agents across multiple applications, this visibility can help prevent a localized data problem from spreading through automated workflows.

The platform includes a data catalog that identifies information sources and quality metrics. Through its MCP server, AI agents can access this information for better context about the data they use. Elementary’s own AI agents automate tasks including data testing, troubleshooting, policy enforcement and performance optimization.

Elementary’s technology will complement Boomi’s Active Data Foundation, which manages the movement of data between enterprise applications and AI systems. The combined offering is geared to help companies identify data problems before they affect business operations.

The acquisition also gives Boomi access to a growing developer community. Elementary’s technology is used by more than 1,500 data teams, while its open-source software records over 1.1 million monthly downloads. Its developer community numbers approximately 4,000 members.

Started with Open-Source

Founded by Maayan Salom and Or Avidov in 2021, Elementary began with open-source software and introduced its commercial Elementary Cloud platform in 2024. The company has raised approximately $8.5 million from investors including Y Combinator, TLV Partners and Cowboy Ventures. Its customers include Fiverr and Patagonia.

Elementary’s 17 employees in Israel are expected to remain with Boomi, which plans to expand its operations in the country. The company has also committed to maintaining Elementary’s commercial service and open-source project.

For Boomi, the acquisition is part of a broader expansion of its enterprise data capabilities. The company acquired Israeli startup Lunar.dev in July 2026 and purchased Israeli data integration provider Rivery in December 2024 for approximately $100 million.

Elementary will gain access to Boomi’s global customer base of more than 30,000 organizations and network of over 800 partners.

A July 2026 Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Boomi found that 86% of surveyed organizations had moved beyond AI agent pilots, yet only 34% trusted the actions taken by their agents. Among organizations with the lowest operational readiness, 77% were moving agents into production despite the risks, with an average of $2.1 million in added costs.
