The MACH Alliance is a not-for-profit advocacy group whose members include software vendors, systems integrators, agencies, and individual experts, called "Ambassadors",[1] advocating for open technology ecosystems.[2][3] The Alliance was formed in June 2020[4] and has, as of February 2023, 78 members[5] spanning three continents.[6] Notable members are, in alphabetical order, Amazon Web Services, Capgemini, Deloitte, Google Cloud Platform, MongoDB, Publicis Sapient, Vercel, and Wunderman Thompson.

History

The MACH alliance was founded in June 2020[4] by four companies: Contentstack, Commercetools, EPAM Systems, and Valtech plus ten inaugural members: Algolia, Amplience, Cloudinary, Constructor.io, Contentful, E2X, Fluent commerce, Frontastic, Mobify and Vue Storefront.[7]

MACH is an acronym for:[8][9]

About a year later, MACH membership reached 30 members[10] and again a year later doubled to about 60 members.[11]

Membership

The MACH Alliance actively seeks software vendors, systems integrators, agencies, consultancies, and individual experts who share their vision for open and best-of-breed (a collection of specialized expert applications) enterprise technology ecosystems. The MACH Alliance established certification standards that help identify those that embrace MACH philosophies and offer MACH-certified services. In order to become a member, an organization must be in full compliance.[5] Which has earned the MACH Alliance a reputation of being "bouncers controlling the velvet rope at the entrance of the Coolest Tech in Town Club".[12][6]

Activities

The MACH alliance's main activities in support of their advocacy are events and the publication of various content pieces.[13][14]

Services

Users can choose cloud services.[9][15] The ability to choose only requires cloud services, which reduce costs.[9][15][16][17] MACH has specialized expert applications.[9][16][17] MACH-based cloud services provide rollouts that can be scaled faster.[17]

Managing many cloud services from different vendors can bring maintenance hurdles and costs associated with tracking, monitoring, securing the integration points, and integrating the service components. MACH is currently a general architecture rather than a standard specification, which implies that technologies and behaviors may differ from cloud service to cloud service.[9]
