When we announced the acquisition a few months ago, I shared some thoughts on what Digital Analytix customers can expect moving forward. Now that the deal has closed, I can go into a little more detail about why Adobe acquired the Digital Analytix business, and how we plan to move forward.

The acquisition expands the Adobe Analytics footprint in the enterprise media and entertainment vertical and strengthens Adobe’s presence in the European market, all important investment areas for Adobe Analytics. Adobe also sees potential operating synergies in continuing our development of analytics capabilities for the fast-growing digital video and media space. With the growth of cross-screen content consumption, particularly through over-the-top (OTT) devices, this acquisition allows Adobe to accelerate the delivery of more robust analytics capabilities to this key growth vertical. Adobe will enable media companies to benefit from deep insights into the performance of content across screens. This will allow customers to accurately measure and monetize content across every major IP-connected device, including desktops, smartphones, tablets, game consoles and OTT boxes.

Additionally, this acquisition gives Adobe an expanded customer base in which to introduce our other Adobe Marketing Cloud solutions — the most complete set of marketing solutions available.
