VALTECH
The MACH Alliance The API economy is now a foregone conclusion . One of the weaknesses of the API economy alone was a lack of a cohesive voice and holistic view of capabilities . Valtech , commercetools , Contentstack , and EPAM being founding members of the MACH Alliance , recognised this gap and realised that the most valuable story is written together , not in isolation . The MACH Alliance was the first attempt at presenting a unified and collective face , creating a collective vision that could guide global adoption .
The MACH Alliance certifies the brightest cloud-native SaaS and headless providers in the world . While headless can be applied to any industry , it has been especially impactful in the ecommerce space , as can also be seen by the heavy amount of investment taking place .
