StoryStream Becomes a Certified MACH Alliance Member


We are delighted to announce our new membership to MACH Alliance, marking a big step in our journey to humanise digital shopping experiences for enterprise brands and retailers. 

WHAT IS THE MACH ALLIANCE?

MACH (microservices, API-first, cloud-native SaaS, headless) enabled technology provides brands and retailers with a far more agile and progressive way to create a modern eCommerce technology stack.  Crucially, it allows a choice of the best tools on the market with the ability to easily integrate and deploy with more speed than ever before.

The MACH alliance was created as a member organisation to provide a means to accredit technology vendors and System Integrators with MACH compliance.  The strict and comprehensive requirements mean that brands and retailers can select true MACH-enabled partners with the knowledge that they will deliver all the benefits the MACH approach offers.

The Alliance currently has over 80 technology and system integration partners representing the latest technologies and composition strategies for modern eCommerce. Also, it has a vibrant community including events and research all helping to keep the Alliance at the forefront of the industry.
