Steve Nolan and Mark Elliott were relative newcomers to fashion e-commerce giant boohoo but they faced a conundrum when the company was rapidly assembling a ‘who’s who’ of UK retailers. Their job: to ensure that technology acted as an accelerator rather than a boat anchor slowing down the business.

There seems to be an almost endless stream of new channels cropping up every single day. Whether it’s new retailers coming onto the scene, social media apps looking to break into eCommerce, or new technology permeating the retail landscape, brands and retailers are struggling to keep up. Why?

Combining world-class engineering with industry-leading sleep research, Emma Sleep has made its name in award-winning mattresses but it’s far from a sleepy business and its expansion plans call for moves into related markets and even apps. CTO Andreas Westendörpf is conscious of what is being asked of him: “[We need to] scale up, expand in different ways at the same time. Missing opportunities in business development [would be] a big problem.”

Sara Du, CEO and Co-founder of Alloy Automation, has an unusually impressive resume that dates back to her high school days. In high school, Sara started contributing to open source projects online and officially began her career at DoNotPay, the so-called “world’s first robot lawyer.” DoNotPay utilizes AI to help consumers fight parking tickets and bank fees - among other things - with the goal of leveling the playing field by making legal information and self-help more widely accessible. There, Sara worked on foundational automation tooling, tinkering with concepts that would inspire her own company just a few years later.

We have been vocal for some time that the market shift to MACH technology represents a major challenge to the position of long-established enterprise suites. Even the biggest tech companies are going composable with a focus on APIs and desire to be MACH. We fully encourage it.

Sennheiser has been a major player in consumer electronics for over 70 years. But their high-traffic ecommerce properties aren’t built in the way you'd expect—in fact, they couldn't build the ecommerce experiences they wanted on a traditional platform.

Modern CX leaders understand that adaption to the ever-changing landscape of customer experience is crucial to meeting the needs of customers, and that speed of digital innovation is key. To stay ahead, digital experience must flourish at the same pace as customer expectations and behavior –or you risk falling behind.

If the medium is the message, what does a 95% male speaker line-up communicate to the world? That’s the question we – three organizers of the first ever MACH ONE conference – had to ask ourselves a few weeks ago.

The ‘Enterprise MACHified’ 2022 study, conducted by Mel Research and commissioned by the MACH Alliance, polled senior level technology decision makers (CIOs/CTOs, VP/SVP, Senior Manager) in the U.S., U.K. and Germany. The study is designed to show the state of MACH adoption in these major geographies. It’s clear from the findings this year that intentions to move to MACH architectures remain and progress has been made over the past year with a 19% increase in companies that have moved away from a monolithic stack to best-of-breed. Tech leaders see MACH technologies as the future of architecture with 79% planning to increase investment over the next 12 months and beyond. While intentions are high and 82% of IT leaders say infrastructure is keeping up with customer demands, less than half are satisfied with their ability to deliver customer experience (CX) improvements at speed. This statistic is perhaps the most concerning. But this is where MACH comes into its own, so we would expect improvements over the next 12 months based on MACH intentions cited. It’s also a big reason why the drivers of MACH transition are pull not push. While cycle of release issues and on-premises costs remain a huge burden for organizations, they rank lowest among the drivers. Instead, speed, privacy and ever improving customer experience needs come out top. Overall the findings are encouraging and show that we are moving in the right direction. As an Alliance that advocates for the power of MACH architectures, we are committed to promoting the long-term benefits and ROI that a move to MACH can deliver. In this blog post, Adam Sturrock and Matt Bradbeer break down every component to consider when calculating the Total Cost of Ownership and ROI of a MACH-based architecture. Take a look at the key findings and full survey report. How does your organization compare?
