M·E·L Research To Deliver Third Year of Tracking Research for the MACH Alliance
M·E·L Research Ltd is excited to announce the commencement of its third annual tracking study on behalf of the MACH Alliance. This year’s study aims to build upon previous years’ insights, continuing to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of enterprise technology and its wider implications for organisations.
“Being commissioned to deliver this project for the third consecutive year is a testament to our expertise in the field and the work we’ve done previously for the MACH Alliance. We are excited to return to this ever-evolving part of the technology landscape and provide insights that will help shape the future of enterprise technology, benefiting both the MACH Alliance and the industry at large.”
Study Objectives and Scope:
Building on the success of the previous years, the 2023 study will again engage with technology decision-makers (CIO/CTOs, VP/SVPs, Senior Managers) across key markets, including the UK, France, Germany, and the US. The research will focus on: • Assessing the readiness and progress in the adoption of MACH (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS, Headless) technologies. • Identifying new trends, drivers, and barriers in the technology sector. • Evaluating the impact of technological advancements on business efficiency and social value.
Value to the Wider Sector and MACH Alliance:
This tracking study is pivotal in providing the MACH Alliance and the broader technology industry with critical insights into the pace of change and adaptation in enterprise technology. By mapping out the progression and challenges in the adoption of MACH technologies, the research will continue to guide businesses in making informed decisions, fostering innovation, and staying competitive in a dynamic market, as well as benchmarking their own progress and innovation.
“MACH architecture has large scale implications across the private, third and public sectors – and by extension for citizens, customers and employees in how we all interact and in how our needs and expectations of companies and organisations are served. In an era where technology is rapidly transforming, it’s essential to understand these changes and how they might contribute to efficiency and sustainability and the speed at which changes are likely to happen. We’re really proud of our continued involvement in this study and look forward to providing useful and useable findings as we move forward in to next year.”
The research, scheduled to be published in the early part of 2024, will utilise M·E·L Research’s robust methodologies including in-house programming and data analysis to provide comprehensive and actionable insights.

It was an absolute honour to attend the Women’s Health Conference in London this week, bringing together clinicians, policymakers, campaigners and others passionate about improving women’s health.
As a researcher specialising in women’s health social research, I was excited to have the opportunity to learn, be challenged and exchange ideas with people who share that passion. And I wasn’t disappointed.
There has (quite rightly) been a lot of discussion recently about the gender health gap. But some of the evidence shared…
We are pleased to be working with the MS Society on new health and care social research exploring how health and care services can better support people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and help reduce avoidable hospital admissions.
The health and care social research study will focus on opportunities for earlier intervention and more coordinated, preventative support, while recognising that hospital admission is sometimes clinically necessary. It will…
Last week, I had the opportunity to speak at Collections Inside & Out, a symposium hosted at National Trust Chirk Castle & Garden, bringing together people working across gardens, horticulture, heritage, collections and interpretation.
I was, perhaps, a slight interloper among so many people with deep horticultural expertise but every presentation was incredibly interesting and I learned a lot – and broadly managed to follow the general flow of what was being said (still not 100% au fait with taxa…
We’re pleased to share that our Commercial Director, Elliot Simmonds, will be speaking at the Collections Inside & Out symposium at National Trust Chirk Castle & Garden on 24 September 2026.

New UK-wide research from M·E·L Research’s SPARK report shows improving mental health indicators alongside continuing exposure to suicide, widespread lifetime suicidal thoughts and significant gaps in practical knowledge.
Suicide prevention depends on understanding not only how many people are affected, but also how confident the public feel about recognising risk, starting difficult conversations and finding appropriate support. The Spring 2026 SPARK report from M·E·L Research brings these issues together, providing a detailed picture of attitudes…
