Interconnected Worlds with Boomi Expert Matt McLarty

In this episode of FOBtv, we pull back the curtain on the hidden engine of modern automotive innovation: data. Joined by Boomi CTO and API visionary Matt McLarty, we explore how information logistics, AI, automation, and digital twins are quietly rewriting the rules of vehicle design, manufacturing, and the driving experience itself. From the slow-burn revolution behind EVs and autonomous systems to the rise of truly “smart” factories, Matt reveals what’s changing, what’s stalling, and what’s about to accelerate. 

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build software-defined vehicles, orchestrate robots and real-time data on the factory floor, or imagine what an automotive plant will feel like in 2035, this conversation opens the door to the future—and shows why the next era of mobility will be won by those who master the flow of information.

The bottom line, both EDI and mobile computing require the exchange of data between the SAP ERP and a third party. In the context of mobile computing it is the mobile device. In the context of EDI it is your trading partner (supplier, customer, logistics partner, etc.)
