AMA WEBINAR: Making a Connection: Modernizing Legacy IT in the Connected Car Era

The automotive industry stands at a technological crossroads. As vehicles evolve into software defined platforms, the legacy IT systems that once powered operational efficiency now pose significant barriers to innovation. Our webinar, Making a Connection, explores this transformation through the lens of collaboration, focusing on how automakers, technology providers, and data platforms can bridge decades old infrastructure with the demands of the connected, autonomous era.

Developed jointly by AutoMobility Advisors (AMA) and Northern Lights Technology Development, this live session examines the critical challenges and opportunities shaping the modernization of legacy automotive IT. The discussion will focus on integration strategies, data governance, and the essential role of scalable cloud architectures in creating a unified, intelligent mobility ecosystem. The webinar is designed as a practical roadmap for technology leaders, OEMs, and solution providers seeking to align legacy systems with next generation vehicle connectivity.

• Where legacy IT creates friction for connected vehicle programs and software defined features • Practical integration patterns to connect old and new systems without full “rip and replace” programs • Approaches to data governance and cloud architecture that support scalable, secure vehicle data • How collaboration between automakers, technology partners, and data platforms can move modernization forward • Real world examples from AutoMobility Advisors and Northern Lights client work

With perspectives from both AutoMobility Advisors and Northern Lights Technology Development, this webinar offers a grounded, implementation focused view of how to move legacy IT forward in the connected car era.

Join our panel of AutoMobility Advisors experts and our strategic partners at Northern Lights Technology Development as they share real experiences, lessons learned, and practical guidance for modernization in the connected vehicle space.
