Happy Fourth, gents! This was an IPA session to behold. Great insights on many fronts, but I particularly like some of the suggestions for commerce SIs in the wake of the accelerator boom. We continue to see this trend across a number of platforms, and I agree that they were traditionally composed of strategies and best practices - whereas now, we're seeing more examples of tangible tools accompanying the approach (I recently did some coverage of VShift's Adobe accelerator, which was announced at MACH THREE).

"Process Engine" is a solid way to contextualize the opportunity with platforms like Occtoo, which I've been watching for quite a while (I'm a huge fan of Niclas Mollin). I think these orchestration layers offer a glimpse at where things will evolve.

As far as a potential elixir is concerned: I've heard that octopus is an accoutrement to a savory beverage in parts of Mexico (vis a vis Bloody Mary meets cephalopod). I did a quick search, and I do believe an Occtoo interview could be accompanied by a certain "Octo-Cocktail."
