Case Study: Dropbox achieves scalable HR automation and real-time employee insights with Boomi

Comprehensive HR Integration Drives Rapid Growth for Dropbox

Dropbox, the fast-growing SaaS leader, faced fragmented HR systems and manual processes as it scaled—employee data lived in spreadsheets and siloed applications, limiting visibility and slowing operational decisions. New global HR head Neil Frye identified the need for a scalable integration architecture to connect Workday to payroll, equity tracking, sales compensation and other HR apps.

Dropbox partnered with Boomi and Deloitte and deployed AWS to build API-driven, encrypted integrations and a central data warehouse. Using Boomi connectors and agile two-week sprints, the team delivered automated data flows, 50+ dashboards refreshed every four hours, faster onboarding (months/weeks to days) and self-service analytics—meeting the 18-month target and unlocking real‑time HR insights.
