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 December 2023, over 100 members[5] spanning three continents.[6] Notable members are, in alphabetical order, Amazon Web Services, Capgemini, Deloitte, Google Cloud Platform, MongoDB, PayPal, 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.[12]

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]
