#Boomi was a pioneer cloud-computing company, 30 engineers and salespeople in a hillside office north of Berwyn, selling blue-chip clients like #Siemens and #JPMorgan its #AtomSphere-brand integration software that linked and updated email, HR, sales, you name it, through remote servers at a fraction of the cost of on-site systems, when Dell Computer bought the firm from founder Rick Nucci, boss Bob Moul and investors led by New York's FirstMark Capital in 2010. The cloud was the future, said #Dell founder @MichaelDell; he told the engineers he bought Boomi to grow it, not make it disappear, unlike the constellations of start-ups that have dissolved after investment bankers laid million-dollar bills on their founders' and VCs' desks and ran off with their patents pending and customer lists. Dell did what he said: "We'll have over 300 people by the end of the year," half in Berwyn -- including software research and development -- the rest in marketing offices from California to India, says Chris McNabb, general manager of Dell Boomi, in his much-enlarged Berwyn offices last week.
