On October 19, 2026, Boomi said it has acquired Elementary Data. Elementary builds data observability, quality, governance, and discovery tools that flag problems in pipelines before the data reaches dashboards, models, or AI agents.
Elementary started as an open-source project in 2022. Boomi says more than 1,500 data teams use it, the open-source tool receives more than 1.1 million downloads a month, and the community has about 4,000 members. Elementary Cloud added enterprise features in 2024. Customers have included Fiverr and Patagonia.
The capabilities Boomi lists include agent-driven monitoring that looks for freshness, volume, and quality anomalies; column-level lineage across ingestion, transformation, semantic layers, business intelligence, and AI; a data catalog and health scores; an MCP server that exposes data context and reliability information to AI tools and agents; and AI agents that can create tests, triage incidents, and handle some governance and optimization work. Elementary complements Boomi’s Active Data Foundation, which moves, grounds, and governs data for applications, devices, and agents.
I have watched Boomi and Steve Lucas for years. The strategy beyond iPaaS has been strong. The company moved ahead on agents and control towers and built an open system. Connection, data, and telemetry have been the direction. My hope for this acquisition is that Boomi can extract intelligence and predict from the observability layer and make that available across its customers.
Boomi did not disclose terms. Calcalist reported the deal at approximately $40 million to $45 million in cash and stock. This is Boomi’s third Israeli acquisition after Rivery and Lunar.dev. All 17 Elementary employees, based in Israel, are joining. Boomi and Elementary say the commercial product and the open-source project will continue under Boomi for now, with no immediate migration required.
Steve Lucas, Boomi’s chairman and chief executive, said AI is only as trustworthy as the data behind it. Ed Macosky, Boomi’s chief product and technology officer, wrote that Elementary’s team has spent years helping data teams monitor, test, and govern the pipelines that feed dashboards, models, and agents, and that customers will now be able to catch data problems before they reach the business, not after. Elementary’s co-founders, Maayan Salom and Or Avidov, wrote that reliability needs to sit inside the platform that already activates the data so agents do not act on stale or wrong information.
CIO / CTO check
Ask your data and integration teams whether current pipelines already surface freshness, volume, and quality issues before agents or models consume the data. If the answer is partial or manual, map which Boomi or Elementary controls would close the gap and whether the open-source project is already in use. That audit tells you whether the acquisition changes your existing stack or simply adds a layer you already need.
