Boomi Launches Agent Control Plane to Close the Enterprise AI Governance Gap

Boomi announced its Agent Control Plane on September 2, 2026, a vendor- and model-neutral infrastructure layer designed to securely connect AI agents to core business systems, govern their actions, and control runaway AI costs.

What the Agent Control Plane Does

• Connects AI agents to core enterprise systems regardless of vendor or underlying model
• Grounds agent execution in verified business data with full data lineage
• Governs the actions agents take and controls associated AI costs
• Runs flexibly across public cloud, a customer's own VPC, or on-premises for data sovereignty

A Governance Gap Gartner Has Already Flagged

Boomi cited Gartner's prediction that 40% of enterprises will demote or decommission autonomous AI agents by 2027 due to governance gaps identified only after production incidents occur — a specific, sobering figure that frames agent governance as an operational risk rather than a theoretical concern.

The Trust Gap Behind the Pilot-to-Production Push

A Forrester Consulting study cited by Boomi found that 86% of leaders say their organizations have moved beyond AI agent pilots, but only 34% say they trust the actions those systems take — a gap between deployment speed and confidence that products like the Agent Control Plane are specifically designed to close.

What This Means for Enterprises Scaling AI Agents

As more enterprises move agentic AI from pilot to production, a dedicated governance and control layer — one that works across vendors and models rather than locking organizations into a single AI provider's own tooling — addresses a real, well-documented gap rather than a hypothetical future need.
