RE-RUN: The Future of MACH and Digital Commerce
Manage episode 472460956 series 3599229
As we continue our look back at some of our most popular episodes, weβre revisiting another must-listen discussion - this time with two industry heavyweights: Sonja Keerl, co-founder of the MACH Alliance, and Jim Herbert, CEO of Patchworks.
Recorded in November last year, this episode explored a pivotal moment for MACH technology as businesses demanded more flexibility, speed, and scalability from their digital commerce solutions. Fast forward to today, and those conversations are more relevant than ever - especially as AI reshapes commerce, and enterprise buyers push vendors to adapt faster.
π Discussion Highlights:
- MACH at a Crossroads β Are vendors keeping pace with evolving buyer expectations?
- AIβs Expanding Role β How AI is simplifying commerce and integrating into MACH frameworks.
- Tech-Savvy Buyers β Digital-native enterprises are reshaping how tech is adopted and implemented.
- Platform Evolution β Can Shopify and other platforms meet enterprise needs while staying MACH-compliant?
- New Frontiers for MACH β How industries like healthcare and financial services are embracing composable tech.
- The Vendor Challenge β Why adaptability is key in a fast-changing landscape.
