MACH Alliance Establishes New Certification Program for Architects

MACH Architect Certification extends beyond vendor-specific certification to recognize the individual experts behind composable success

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The MACH Alliance, the industry authority on composable enterprise architecture, today announced full, open access to its new MACH Architect Certification. As enterprise organizations prioritize agility, scalability and speed to market, MACH adoption in the AI-era is growing, driving heightened demand for MACH-aligned skills in enterprise transformation. This pioneering new standard helps companies find and nurture certified composable experts.

Certification is now available to validate the core skills of individual architects who design, manage and deploy complex composable solutions using established MACH principles. MACH Architect Certification recognizes the individual expertise needed to create and implement vendor-neutral, composable setups at scale, ensuring businesses remain adaptable and future-proof.

The certification is designed for technical professionals and architects who work with MACH technologies and have at least one-to-two years of experience in designing, building and implementing MACH-aligned solutions across various industries. Digital engineers and solutions architects from end-user brands including Pandora, Primark and Fisher & Paykel are among those that have already been certified.

With official MACH Architect Certification accreditation, technical professionals benefit from:

• Industry recognition as a leader in composable architecture via trusted, third-party validation of MACH expertise.
• Career acceleration and new opportunities within MACH-aligned businesses.
• Access to the MACH Architect Certification professional community, fostering connection with like-minded professionals and industry pioneers.

“Agentic AI is rapidly reshaping enterprise organizations, turning composability into a board-level mandate,” said Holly Hall, managing director, MACH Alliance. “As enterprises actively increase their MACH tech stack in response, MACH Architect Certification allows enterprise businesses and organizations to hire trusted, proven leaders and solution architects with real-world experience to guide their composable transformations.”

MACH Architect Certification tests real-world MACH expertise through a rigorous exam, conducted in a remote online setting with a live proctor present. Successful candidates will receive an electronic credential suitable for sharing on professional social media sites.
