Legacy system modernization and hybrid cloud
Consistentconfidence 82%Across both appearances Macosky consistently argues that legacy systems should be extended and bridged rather than ripped out, and that Boomi's hybrid multi-cloud foundation uniquely positions it to do so. The later quote adds historical credibility ('before they were buzzwords') but the core position is unchanged. This is worth noting because it represents a durable strategic differentiator Boomi has defended across at least two years of public messaging.
"Mainframes are still there. And growing. And we need to continue helping our enterprises extend the life of those and those workflows, but then bridge them into this modern enterprise where they need these agentic workflows and connect and connect them, automate them, now identify these workloads and ensure security and activation above the data layer all the way up to the human engagement."

We are hybrid multi cloud. We were doing that before they were buzzwords, hybrid cloud, multi cloud. So we are in a perfect position to help customers modernize."
Source on theCUBE ↗Democratizing AI for non-technical business users
Shiftedconfidence 75%In the earlier (2026) appearance, Macosky frames simplification as an existing Boomi capability — something the platform already delivers. In the later (2024) appearance, the same idea is framed as an aspirational goal ('a goal of mine now'), suggesting that in 2024 this was still a forward-looking ambition rather than a delivered reality. The direction is the same but the temporal framing reverses, which matters for understanding how Boomi's product maturity narrative evolved between the two periods.
"customers are just confused as heck with the amount of tools out there. What are these frameworks? What do these terms mean? What does MCP even mean? And we just simplify it into business terms and help customers with outcomes. We take care of the tech for them and we focus on the experience where they can ."

Gen AI the stacks, large language models, et cetera, your accountant has no idea, unless you've got some super accountant has no idea how to stand up a large language model, train it, ground it, et cetera. But I want to, a goal of mine now is, I want your accountant who can speak Boomi, who's learning Boomi, and understands that to be able to participate in the Gen AI space."
Source on theCUBE ↗Agentic vs. deterministic workflow cost tradeoffs
Hardenedconfidence 62%In the earlier appearance Macosky makes a specific, quantified argument that pure agentic chains are expensive and deterministic workflows are cheaper, citing a $3 demo cost as evidence. In the later appearance the same underlying philosophy — don't deploy technology for its own sake, prove value first — is present but stated at a higher level of abstraction without the cost specifics. The conviction is consistent but the later framing is more principled and customer-outcome-oriented rather than cost-focused, suggesting the argument has matured into a broader strategic posture.
"sometimes pure agentic use cases is not what an enterprise needs, because an agent calling an agent, calling an agent is very, very expensive sometimes. And sometimes, or more often than not, an agent calling a tool that is just a deterministic workflow like, " Run payroll. " Or, " Submit expense report. " That is a very straightforward and very cheap thing to do."
