Boomi CEO Steve Lucas Releases New Book: Digital Impact — The Human Element of AI-Driven Transformation

Boomi, the intelligent integration and automation leader, today announced the release of Digital Impact: The Human Element of AI-Driven Transformation (Wiley), a bold new book by Boomi Chairman and CEO Steve Lucas. In it, Lucas makes a powerful case for a problem few business leaders are talking about: the AI revolution is doomed to stall unless we first fix the broken digital infrastructure that supports it.

With nearly 30 years of leadership at companies including Adobe, SAP, Salesforce, and Marketo, Lucas shares a firsthand playbook for addressing the crisis of digital fragmentation — outdated systems, disconnected data, and chaotic architectures — that threatens to derail enterprise AI.

“AI is only as smart as the systems and data it runs on,” said Lucas. “Right now, most companies are trying to build AI skyscrapers on sand. But with the right integration strategy — one that puts people first — we can turn digital chaos into a catalyst for innovation, sustainability, and human progress.”

Featuring exclusive interviews with enterprise leaders and a foreword on the coming AI era, Digital Impact provides a roadmap for creating connected, intelligent, and human-centered digital environments. The book introduces Lucas’s “Digital Impact Mission,” a new leadership framework that calls on CEOs to lead transformation from the top, fix fragmentation first, and prioritize technology that empowers people.
