Over 40 leading enterprise technology companies commit to building one of the first true agentic AI ecosystems

The MACH Alliance, along with 45 enterprise technology providers, today announced a shared commitment to build the “Agent Ecosystem,” an interoperable, composable environment in which SaaS and AI-native tools connect to create one of the first true agentic AI ecosystems.

A growing list of enterprise technology companies have pledged support for this initiative, which will focus early efforts on experience, customer data, and commerce infrastructure. Supporters are welcomed from both within and beyond the Alliance, and a full list of launch supporters is included below.

Building an Agent Ecosystem on MACH Foundations

As the industry authority on composable enterprise architecture in the AI era, the MACH Alliance believes the coming “Internet of Agents” will not emerge from a single vendor’s platform. By creating the Agent Ecosystem, the MACH Alliance and its member organizations will be among the first to prove that when vendors unite around shared standards and trust, enterprise brands gain the freedom and flexibility to thrive in the AI era.

“While some technology providers envision a single platform to rule them all, we believe the future of enterprise AI will not be defined by a single agent, platform, or vendor,” said Jason Cottrell, CEO of Orium and President of the MACH Alliance. “It will be powered by hundreds of specialized agents working together in harmony. To get there, the enterprise community must unite now around open standards before fragmentation takes hold.”

Collaborating to Deliver Real Outcomes for Enterprise Businesses

The Agent Ecosystem’s mission is not to define another standard but to develop an interoperable ecosystem, co-creating reference architectures, operating patterns, and enterprise-scale proofs that turn interoperability into impact. The MACH Alliance is working closely with a number of key players and initiatives integral to the future of AI, including: standard bodies, its hyperscaler supporters Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), AI labs, emerging protocols, and open source initiatives. Additionally, the organization is working in tandem with its members that are active pioneers behind standards like Agent2Agent Protocol (A2A), Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), and Agent Payments Protocol (AP2).

The Agent Ecosystem takes inspiration from the AGNTCY initiative, which is defining critical infrastructure for the Internet of Agents. Multiple Alliance members already support AGNTCY, including Bloomreach, Google, MongoDB, Netlify, Orium, Pipe17, Stripe, Valtech, and Vercel. Additionally, AGNTCY will provide a key perspective in the Alliance’s upcoming events and thought leadership.

“Enterprises are experiencing another rapid technology hype cycle, and technology companies have an opportunity to do things differently this time,” said Amanda Cole, CMO, Bloomreach and MACH Alliance Executive Board member. “By focusing on delivering outcomes aligned with their clients' tech ecosystems and business objectives instead of emphasizing their own independent differentiation, technology companies can embrace the agentic era with tangible results for real companies.”

The technology companies leading this charge, which are initial supporters of the Agent Ecosystem, include:

• AI Infrastructure Platforms: EverWorker, Mastra, Maven AGI
• Cloud Enablers: Netlify, Vercel
• Systems Integrators: Accenture Song, Aries Solutions, Deloitte Digital, IONA, Orium, Publicis Sapient, Valtech, WPP
• Independent Software Vendors: Akeneo, Algolia, Amplitude, Bloomreach, Braze, Bynder, Cloudinary, Commerce, Commerce Layer, commercetools, Conscia, Contentstack, Coveo, Dynamic Yield, Eagle Eye, EIS, ESW, Fluent Commerce, Kibo, Mapp, Marketplacer, Markup AI, Patchworks, PhaseZero, Pipe17, Stripe, Uniform, Voucherify, Workato, Wyng, Xiatech, Zapier
