Boomi Platinum integration and enterprise architecture in Adelaide Put Your Systems on Speaking Terms.

We design how your systems should talk, build it on Boomi as South Australia’s only Platinum partner, then stay on to run it.

  • 2017 founded in Adelaide
  • Nearly 9 years with some clients

Where to Start

Spot the Silent Treatment.

If one of these sounds like your organisation, this is where we’d start.

  • Nobody can say for sure what connects to what.

    Enterprise architecture

    A design at the level of detail you need, with your estate mapped in Essential.

  • The same data gets typed into two or three systems.

    Boomi integration

    Each system connected once, on Boomi, by a Platinum partner, so you keep control of your data.

  • An integration fails and we hear about it from a customer.

    Integration Managed Service

    Your platform monitored, reviewed and supported, so integration just works.

  • The board wants an AI plan, and our data isn’t ready.

    AI readiness

    A simple first pilot on trusted data, with the right connectivity and release paths.

  • A new leader inherited the estate, and the history left with the last one.

    Business advisory

    From cloud strategy and data governance to CIO as a Service.

  • We can’t find experienced integration people, or keep them.

    Graduates and mentoring

    Graduates trained inside your team, who can then join it.

Case Study: Northline, Logistics

A Week to Onboard. Now a Day.

Working alongside Northline’s team, akto helped establish a Boomi integration platform that has grown into a strategic capability across the business.

The most important outcome isn’t a technology metric. Northline now has a scalable foundation that can evolve with the business.

Re-keying Cost

What Does Typing It Twice Cost?

Every record re-keyed from one system into another is time a connection could give back. Try your own numbers: the starting figures are illustrative.

An illustrative estimate in Australian dollars, over 48 working weeks (four weeks’ annual leave) at 38 hours a week, as in the National Employment Standards.

Typing it twice costs you about

A$44,000 a year

800 hours a year: 21 of a full-time person’s 48 working weeks. Each chevron is one week.

Architecture and Essential

Bring Us In Before the Build.

Brought in at the build, an integrator can’t see the problems upstream. We start at the design, and map your estate in Essential, an enterprise architecture tool.

“We’d much rather play earlier in the strategic thinking space, while it’s cheaper and easier to get a consolidated design to execute more effectively.”

Integration Managed Service

We Keep the Conversation Going.

We take the day-to-day running of your integration platform off your team, and the service scales as the platform grows.

Management
Service delivery and account management, architecture and advisory, with reporting for oversight and control.
Proactive
Monitoring, patch and release review, and periodic system health reviews to keep the environment up.
Reactive
Service requests and incidents handled within committed service response times.

The Founders

We Started akto to Stick Around.

Sam Loveridge and Chris Wood ran Bendigo and Adelaide Bank’s solution architecture team. In 2017 they started akto to stay and build what they advised.

“What’s the point of giving advice if it doesn’t actually get followed through?”

“We’ve got several clients where we’ve become the continuity, where they’ve had leadership changes, but we’ve been a constant.”

Graduate Program

Learn to Fly. Leave the Nest.

Two of akto’s values, put to work: we employ the graduate, mentor them inside your team, and then they join it.

Questions

Boomi, Essential and the Rest.

The questions an IT leader tends to have before the first conversation.

Call 1300 GO AKTO with anything not here.

Do we need to be on Boomi already?

No. If you’re already on another platform, we’ll help you make the most of it before proposing anything else, and bring in Boomi when the work is greenfield or it makes sense. The team also works with Azure Integration Services, Workato, MuleSoft, WSO2, IBM WebSphere, Oracle, webMethods and Tibco.

What does Boomi Platinum Partner mean?

Platinum is the top tier of Boomi’s partner program, and akto reached it in April 2026. Boomi’s Jim Fisher, Vice President of Channels and Partners for Asia Pacific and Japan, said it “recognises akto’s ability to help customers use Boomi as a critical foundation for delivering business outcomes”.

What is Essential, and who hosts it?

Essential is an enterprise architecture management tool whose interactive views make complex data simple to understand. It comes as Essential Cloud, hosted on AWS in Australia, the US or the EU, or as Essential Docker, which runs where you choose.

Can akto run our integrations once they’re live?

Yes, through the Integration Managed Service: monitoring, patch and release review, periodic health reviews, service requests and incidents within committed service response times, and mentoring for your own integration staff.

How do we get ready for AI?

AI can only be as reliable as the data and signals flowing through your landscape, and you don’t need to rebuild your stack. Start small, as akto’s AI Readiness Leader’s Guide sets out: three foundations (business-aligned architecture, trusted and governed data, and integration), then a pilot to prove value, scaled only if the outcome improves and the safety metric holds for at least two review cycles.

Where does akto work?

Our head office is on Level 1, 30 Pirie Street, Adelaide. We work across Australia, including the east coast, and in New Zealand.

How do we start?

With one conversation about the systems that matter most. From there we can design a simple first step with the right connectivity and release paths, whether that’s an architecture view, one integration or a pilot.
