Like a complex Photoshop file, Adobe is a multi-layered company. This fact was highlighted ever so vividly at the recent Adobe Digital Marketing summit held in the Omniture-land in Utah. Adobe is known for its many recent acquisitions (Omniture, Day Software, Context Optional/Efficient Frontier, Nitobi, Auditude, Demdex, etc.), as well as organic growth.

Every few years, someone declares one type of Web Content Management (CMS) software on the verge of "liftoff," to take over the entire space. Early last decade, people tried to convince me that open source was going to dominate the world "by 2005." ... Continue Reading

Some vendors we cover in the Digital & Media Asset Management Report are in a committed, pure DAM/MAM relationship with their customers. Others – like Nuxeo, Adobe CQ and VYRE – which we have just updated with new evaluations – tend to favor a more open relationship incorporating aspects of WCM, ECM and DAM. ... Continue Reading

The word adobe traces its roots to spoken Arabic (from Coptic), where it was al tub, or "the brick." Adobe's recently announced Digital Enterprise Platform (ADEP) can be described as a tub of bricks for building tablet, mobile, web, and desktop applications. The "tub" in this case is CRX -- the repository layer that Adobe took over via the Day Software acquisition. ... Continue Reading
