The MACH Alliance released a first-of-its-kind report on the relationship between composable infrastructure and successful AI adoption. In it, they show the role composable plays in AI, as companies head toward a future of multiple AI agents.

“As specialized AI capabilities multiply across vendors, internal development, and open-source tools, the competitive advantage goes to enterprises whose infrastructure lets those capabilities coordinate and share context. Open, composable, connected architecture isn't just accelerating AI deployment today; it’s determining which organizations can participate in the Agent Ecosystem that's rapidly emerging,” said Jason Cottrell, president of the MACH Alliance.

Elsewhere, Aprimo was named a Leader in DAM systems by Forrester, and SearchStax and Adobe were the winners of multiple G2 awards.
