The data activation firm for AI called Boomi and Jade Global, which is a Boomi Certified Platinum Implementation and Managed Services Partner focusing on digital manufacturing transformation, have entered into an extended strategic alliance that will assist industrial companies in deploying autonomous AI agents in their production systems.
Under the agreement, Jade Global will deliver specialized manufacturing solutions built directly on the Boomi Enterprise Platform. The joint architecture connects Boomi’s active data foundation and Agent Control Plane directly to plant floors, supply chain systems, and enterprise backends.
Overcoming the Production Gap in Manufacturing AI
There are challenges unique to industrial companies trying to deploy enterprise AI technology. Data that is crucial for operations still is scattered across various systems such as ERP, MES, PLM, quality, warehouse, and supplier EDI systems – which often run on old technology.
When unguided AI agents execute actions without synchronized data or audit trails, they introduce substantial operational risk to:
- Production scheduling and throughput
- Real-time inventory positioning
- Supplier order commitments
- Regulatory and compliance recordkeeping
Because of these vulnerabilities, proof-of-concept AI implementations frequently stall before reaching full-scale deployment in production operations.
“Manufacturers have some of the richest operational data in the enterprise and some of the strictest requirements for acting on it,” said Dan McAllister, SVP of Global Alliances and Channels, Boomi. “The question is no longer whether agents can do useful work on a production line or in a supply chain. It is whether the business can see what an agent did, trust the data it acted on, and account for the outcome. That is what the Agent Control Plane and the active data foundation beneath it are designed to deliver, and Jade Global brings the manufacturing depth to put that into practice.”

Technical Integration and Strategic Capabilities
The collaborative solution combines enterprise data integration with domain-specific digital transformation expertise:
Boomi Enterprise Platform Architecture
- Active Data Platform: Synchronizes data in real time between different software platforms, APIs, and existing legacy systems.
- Agent Control Plane: Offers unified lifecycle management for building, running, testing, and controlling AI agents.
- Security & Observability: Applies policy controls using Boomi’s AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateways, providing visibility from end-to-end through the Agent Control Tower.
Jade Global Manufacturing Expertise
- 4th Generation Smart Manufacturing System: Combines decades of experience with system integration, data management, and B2B/EDI managed services through an Integration Center of Excellence.
- Demonstrated Collaboration: In partnership with Boomi since 2017, Jade Global achieved Platinum Implementation Partner designation in 2019.
“Japanese manufacturers set the global benchmark for quality and operational discipline, and they rightly expect the same rigor from AI,” said Arun Menon, Chief Technology and Strategy Officer, Jade Global. “An agent that adjusts a production schedule or flags a supplier exception must be as traceable as any change made on the line. Many of the manufacturers we work with are also modernizing integration systems built over decades, and that modernization is exactly the foundation agents need. With Boomi, we help them do both: connect and govern their operational data, then put agents to work on it with every action recorded and accountable. We are committed to supporting manufacturers in Japan as they move agentic AI from pilot to production.”
Core Operational Deliverables
The joint initiative focuses on four key operational capabilities for manufacturing enterprises:
- Grounded Operational Data: Ongoing synchronization of Bills of Materials (BOMs), parts inventory, equipment registry, and vendor logs guarantees that agents assess the live operational state and not extracted historical information.
- Governance and Policy Implementation: Constraints from policies that utilize Boomi AI and MCP gateways guarantee a human intervention for the high-stakes processes like editing Purchase Orders or lifting production blockages while recording each transaction for compliance reporting.
- Multi-Faceted Deployment Options: Agents may be deployed either locally in the factory, regionally, or across multiple clouds to meet stringent requirements regarding latency, data residency, and sovereignty within a common management framework.
- Pre-Built Industry Processes: Pre-built process templates from Jade Global allow for quick implementation of automated processes such as supplier exception handling, predictive maintenance planning, and rebalancing of demands and supply.
The enhanced solution suite is available immediately through Jade Global, extending governed agentic workflows to Boomi’s global user base of more than 30,000 organizations across discrete, process, and high-tech manufacturing sectors.
