<h2> </h2><h2>Voucherify.io joins the MACH Alliance</h2>
Voucherify.io is the first Promotion Management Platform to join the MACH Alliance. Voucherify.io enables companies to quickly build personalized coupon, discount, referral, and loyalty campaigns with MACH technology. Katowice, Poland – 18/01/2021 – Voucherify.io announced today that it joined the <a href="http://www.machalliance.org">MACH Alliance</a>, the group of independent tech companies dedicated to advocating for open, best-of-breed technology ecosystems, demonstrating Voucherify.io’s commitment to building innovative and future-proof enterprise technology and to enhancing the digital experiences of their customers. Voucherify is an all-in-one Promotion Management Platform that enables companies to build personalized coupon, discount, referral, and loyalty campaigns faster. Voucherify is based on MACH technology, making it fast to integrate, flexible in use, and cutting the integration time and cost to close-to-none. Thanks to its flexible API, it is possible to integrate it with any e-commerce stack of choice. To make the integration even faster, Voucherify offers out-of-the-box integrations with e-commerce platforms, CRM systems, distribution channels, Google Analytics and Google Ads. The MACH Alliance (Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS, and Headless) launched in June 2020 and is rooted in the common belief that the interoperability and open architecture of modern software will propel current and future digital experiences.
“We’re happy to welcome Voucherify to the MACH Alliance, says Kelly Goetsch, president of the MACH Alliance. “They’ve built their solution from the ground up using the MACH principles, making them highly flexible, easy to integrate and a perfect fit for the MACH Alliance”
“We created Voucherify.io at our software house, rspective, because we noticed that our clients were struggling with their promotions. Because of the success of our product, we spun it out into its own standalone company.The companies we worked with lacked a holistic tool to launch, manage, and report on promotions without the need to involve developers at every step of the journey. Building such a tool from scratch was slow and expensive.” says Tomasz Pindel, CEO of Voucherify.io. “We have built Voucherify.io — an all-in-one promotion engine — MACH-first, which makes it a fast-to-integrate, scalable and affordable solution for our clients. We know first-hand how much value MACH-first solutions bring to enterprises, and we are happy to join MACH Alliance, who shares the same vision, to support enterprises with their transformation to open and composable architecture.” 
About Voucherify.io

This is why they have created Voucherify – an affordable, all-in-one MACH promotion management software that requires minimum developer effort to integrate, offers plenty of out-of-the-box features and integrations and is designed to empower your marketing team to quickly launch and efficiently manage coupon and gift card promotions, giveaways, referral and loyalty programs.

San Francisco, December 14th 2020. <a href="https://uniform.dev/">Uniform.dev,</a> a San Francisco based startup in digital experience platform (DXP), announced today it has joined the <a href="http://www.machalliance.org">MACH Alliance</a>, the group of independent tech companies dedicated to advocating for open, best-of-breed technology ecosystems, demonstrating Uniform’s commitment to the MACH model. Uniform enables the fastest personalized sites for the enterprise by Jamstack-enabling current platforms, creating scale and flexibility without the hassle of full replatforming. 
Uniform, founded by a team of digital experience platform (DXP) veterans, has been focused on building a platform helping the enterprise create the fastest personalized sites to help them engage their customers. Uniform both brings modern developer tools and edge-based personalization to existing technologies, such as Content Management Systems and DXPs, and brings marketing capabilities to a predominantly developer centric, Jamstack ecosystem.
“We are excited to join the MACH alliance, a common thread among the members is that we all advocate for a better, simpler and more flexible approach for enterprise architecturesand apps. Today most enterprises replatform every 4-6 year, which are painful, expensive and quite frankly doesn’t help provide better value for their customers. By applying MACH technologies, it supports the enterprise in having a pluggable, scalable, replaceable stack, where each component can be replaced, without disrupting the different components in the stack. This allows the enterprise to focus on evolving their digital experience stack and focus on value realization, rather than expensive and disruptive replatform projects.” says Lars Birkholm, Co-founder and CEO of Uniform.<h2> </h2>
"We are thrilled that Uniform is joining. While they are still a startup they are already a leading personalization and delivery vendor. Through their JAMstack approach, they add composability and flexibility to many enterprise experiences. Their approach exemplifies MACH”, says Kelly Goetsch, president of the MACH Alliance. 
“Uniform makes the fastest personalized sites possible. Page performance matters, as it impacts search engine rankings and bounce rates, where faster loading sites get better search engine positions and lower bounces, this helps increase engagement, conversions and ultimately growth. Having a monolithic suite approach prevents the enterprise from acting fast on changes, this is where the MACH approach benefits the enterprise. With the impact of COVID-19, we saw those enterprises that could quickly adapt to the new normal, whether it was tuning commerce, changing supply-chain or being able to handle higher digital demands are those that create most value for the customer. MACH helps the enterprise act faster and to be ready to adapt to new changes.” says Christian Pelle, Director of Growth at Uniform. <h2> </h2>

Independent group drives advocacy of modern approach to enterprise ecommerce business solutions through microservices, API-first, cloud-native SaaS and headless experiences 
Austin – November 10, 2020 – <a href="http://www.bigcommerce.com?utm_source=BusinessWire&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=MACH_Alliance">BigCommerce</a> (Nasdaq: BIGC), a leading Open SaaS ecommerce platform for fast-growing and established brands, today announced it has joined the MACH Alliance, a newly-formed group of independent tech companies dedicated to advocating for an open, best-of-breed technology ecosystem for enterprise ecommerce solutions. As part of this group, BigCommerce will work in collaboration with members to enhance education, development and adoption of composable infrastructures through microservices-based, API-first, cloud-native SaaS and headless technology and digital experiences.
“The MACH Alliance mission is a perfect reflection of our own strategy to offer merchants an open, flexible and best-of-breed platform ecosystem that can help future-proof their ecommerce business,” said Jimmy Duvall, chief product officer at BigCommerce. “This alignment on composable architectures was a primary reason that BigCommerce joined the MACH Alliance, and we are excited to work collaboratively alongside partners such as EPAM, E2X, Valtech and others.” 
According to analyst firm Gartner, “by 2022, 80 percent of digital experience platforms will be deployable in a hybrid headless fashion1.” Since 2018, BigCommerce has enabled merchants to build scalable, content- and experience-driven digital commerce experiences through headless deployments. APIs allow for full access to the data and business logic of the BigCommerce platform, enabling merchants to connect third-party integrations, mobile applications or a front-end CMS or DXP to create a headless storefront. Participation in the MACH Alliance will create additional opportunities for BigCommerce to advance MACH principles as the modern standard.
"BigCommerce has a clear commitment to a better way forward for IT architecture that is open and composable," said Sonja Kotrotsos, vice president of the MACH Alliance. "That vision, which defines their own approach, is exactly where the MACH Alliance sees the future of technology heading. It is this kind of set-up that will drive the new era of tech, and it's with great excitement that we welcome BigCommerce on board to the Alliance so we can advocate for this future-proof approach together."

BigCommerce Joins MACH Alliance to Propel Growth of Composable Tech Infrastructure

14 September 2020 - Today, the MACH Alliance, an independent not-for-profit organization dedicated to advocating for open, best-of-breed technology ecosystems for enterprises, is proud to announce that three well-respected technology leaders have joined their advisory board. 
The board welcomes <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nialledwards/">Niall Edwards</a>, head of retail digital transformation at the LEGO Group, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/giles-s-5229871/">Giles Smith</a>, Digital Director, at a well known luxury retailer and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiehancox/">Jamie Hancox</a>, founder of Commerce Futures. All three support the mission and vision of the alliance and are excited to offer their expertise to help guide the organization’s growth.
“Welcoming these independent leaders to our advisory council only weeks after launching the Alliance means a lot to the cause of untangling enterprise software and ensuring companies are comfortable with going best-of-breed. For them to advise us and to make their first-hand experience available to a wider audience directly and through the materials the MACH Alliance publishes, is incredibly important to the market”, says Kelly Goetsch, co-founder and president of the MACH Alliance. 
The three new members have all been intimately involved in transitioning enterprises to composable technology architecture and fully believe MACH ecosystems will drive the future of business. They are keen to allow other companies and technology transformation leaders to benefit from wealth of first-hand knowledge and insight they’ve gained from their experiences.
Niall Edwards says he embraces the opportunity, explaining, “It is so exciting to witness the formation of the MACH Alliance and the increasing industry realisation that building commerce and broader technology ecosystems from composable, decoupled and independent parts delivers exceptional benefits in time to market, flexibility and durability.” In addition, he believes, “This new mindset, as much as the combination of technologies and architectural patterns, leads to increased value delivery from technology transformation and has certainly enabled a much more rapid and innovative digital product development process where it has been adopted.”
Giles Smith is also pleased to take a seat on the board. “I am glad that my experience of going with the most modern tech setup can now help other companies through the MACH Alliance. Building composable microservices, using headless and API first principles enables retailers to respond much faster to new innovations.”
Smith feels now is the perfect time for the MACH Alliance. “If things change or something emerges that is far and above what is in-house, companies want to be able to adopt it without the barriers of the past. For the last ten years, unstitching technologies has been too big an effort and cost. MACH is now table stakes for any retailer's survival, let alone success ”
James Hancox says, “I am delighted to offer my experience as an independent, operating in both the technology vendor and digital business communities. My own day-to-day experiences of understanding the challenges, ambitions and requirements of digital brands means I hope to offer ‘real world’ feedback to the members of The Alliance, as the group works to place their customer’s needs at the heart of the organisation.” He adds, “The inevitable and significant shift towards low code/composable “stacks” will need businesses to both understand the new world in detail and feel comfortable managing the transition – which will take a great deal of time and energy. I’m hoping The Alliance is truly able to make the journey easier and simpler for those who wish to embark.”

MACH Alliance Welcomes Three Independent Experts to its Advisory Board

MINNEAPOLIS - September 2, 2020 - Today, the MACH Alliance, a group of independent tech companies dedicated to advocating for open, best-of-breed technology ecosystems, welcomes Four51. Four51 is a US based eCommerce player with 20 years of experience, having helped hundreds of enterprises transform their eCommerce, order management, and B2B marketplace experiences through their platform OrderCloud™. 
The MACH Alliance, (Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS and Headless) launched two months ago and is rooted in the common belief of all members that the interoperability and open architecture of modern software will propel current and future digital experiences. “We have enjoyed great support in the market since our launch at the end of June with many companies wanting to join. And we are thrilled that a leading company like Four51 has applied a few weeks ago and is a certified member as of today. All companies receiving MACH Certification meet the same technology criteria focused on making enterprises flexible and future proof”, says Kelly Goetsch, president of the MACH Alliance. 

The MACH Alliance reflects Four51’s commitment to future-proofing their customers’ technology through Microservices, API-first, Cloud and Headless architectures. "We are thrilled to be part of the MACH Alliance and to join forces with organizations that share in our mission - eliminating the limitations of software,” explains Mark Johnson, CEO at Four51. “Today, more than ever, enterprises need technology that enables them to adapt to changing business landscapes. MACH architecture provides the flexibility, scalability, and speed needed to remain relevant as customers' needs change and business strategies transform."
COVID-19 has only amplified the need for adaptability for any company. “We and our fellow MACH Alliance members provide enterprises with the flexibility needed at a time like this to go fast, be innovative, and make changes as customers’ needs continue to evolve,” explains Johnson. 
Analysts like Gartner agree that “the COVID-19 pandemic has propelled the digital market to new heights by forcing organizations into adoption and vendors into new approaches” (Magic Quadrant for Digital Commerce 2020). We are a digital inflection point, where digital experiences will look fundamentally different from what they were before the pandemic. The MACH Alliance is positioned to help enterprises with future-proof technology solutions today and tomorrow.

Today, commercetools, Contentstack, EPAM Systems (NYSE: EPAM) and Valtech globally introduce and officially launch the MACH Alliance, a group of independent, future-thinking tech companies dedicated to advocating for open, best- of-breed technology ecosystems. The Alliance is rooted in the common belief that the interoperability and open architecture of modern software will propel current and future digital experiences. Algolia, Amplience, Cloudinary, Constructor.io, Contentful, E2X, Fluent commerce, Frontastic, Mobify and Vue Storefront have already joined as inaugural members, and the Alliance invites like-minded companies to do the same.
The “MACH” namesake, which stands for Microservices based, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS and Headless, is inspired by the supersonic speed at which software&nbsp;ecosystems can better serve enterprises. The MACH Alliance is committed to helping enterprises adopt and adapt the best and most agile systems, processes and skills to&nbsp;turn their digital practices into business differentiators.
“The goal of the MACH Alliance is to drive awareness for the benefits of modern&nbsp;software ecosystems that provide the flexibility and openness that traditional software&nbsp;suites were not designed with,”says Matthew Baier, Advisory Board Member to the&nbsp;MACH Alliance and COO at ContentStack. “The demand for flexibility and speed has&nbsp;been increasing for years and the current pandemic has further escalated the urgency&nbsp;to adopt and provide digital solutions and experiences. The alliance will serve as an&nbsp;educator and advisor for organizations embracing a more modern, agile and effective&nbsp;digital stack and ecosystem.”
At its <a href="https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1100995276597392651">debut webinar on 7 July,</a> founding members will demonstrate what a MACH&nbsp;platform consists of technically and answer questions about what the landscape of&nbsp;MACH suppliers looks like.
“Today, there are hundreds of proven SaaS vendors that solve specific business&nbsp;problems (content, commerce, personalization, etc.) much better than the basic&nbsp;functionality offered in suites,” says Kelly Goetsch, President of the MACH Alliance&nbsp;and CPO of commercetools.“Due to the near ubiquity of support for MACH principles&nbsp;and how modern SaaS software works, it’s easier than ever to discover, evaluate,&nbsp;purchase, and integrate these vendors. As needs evolve, vendors can be easily added&nbsp;or swapped. We as members of the MACH Alliance represent the present and future&nbsp;of enterprise software and services and aim to be the catalyst for even more change.”
“We believe in “Transform by Doing”. The MACH architecture enables us to build and&nbsp;run solutions that are less of a compromise to our clients”, says Auke van Urk,&nbsp;Advisory Board Member to the MACH Alliance and Chief Technology Officer at&nbsp;Valtech. “MACH solutions can reduce time to first value significantly and are much&nbsp;more adaptable to the ever evolving business needs and customer expectations.”
“We see real pressure these days to adapt nearly every aspect of global business, and&nbsp;to do so faster and more efficiently than ever. These new demands call for an&nbsp;expanded set of choices that are enabled by the modern architectures and&nbsp;capabilities brought together by the MACH Alliance,” said Elaina Shekhter, Advisory&nbsp;Board Member to the MACH Alliance and Chief Marketing Officer at EPAM Systems.&nbsp;“Our role as a product and platform engineering leader for some of the world’s top&nbsp;enterprises has given us a front-line view of the digital transformations made possible&nbsp;by the wide-spread adoption of cloud and we look forward to seeing truly novel&nbsp;customer experiences brought to life by these new technologies.”&nbsp;
The MACH Alliance will ensure the best-of-breed alternative is clear, visible and omni-present, by:
<ol><li>Sharing technical knowledge about MACH, and why and when it is better than&nbsp;what a suite can offer.</li><li>Creating best practices that show organizations how to transition to a MACH&nbsp;architecture, as well as its products and services, leveraging case studies and&nbsp;peer-to-peer networking between organizations planning to make the transitionwith those that already have.</li><li>Listing and explaining selection criteria for enterprises, such as what to ask for&nbsp;when RFP’ing best-of-breed tech vendors, and what criteria to use during the&nbsp;selection process. This information will be provided in the form of white papers,&nbsp;events, articles and more.</li><li>Publishing technical documentation, such as architectural blueprints and other&nbsp;technical content, demonstrating how to integrate MACH technologies.</li><li>Developing and hosting MACH Alliance events and serving as a collective resource at key industry events to demonstrate and educate the industry on the&nbsp;benefits of adopting an open, cloud-native, API first headless architecture&nbsp;technology ecosystem.</li></ol>
One of the Alliance’s top priorities is to expand its footprint by welcoming like-minded&nbsp;independent technology and services companies to be a part of this first-of-its-kind,&nbsp;open ecosystem technology collaboration.
