New Adobe Experience Cloud Innovations Announced at Summit

The latest innovations empower businesses to build and deliver personalized customer experiences at scale, with accelerated content velocity, seamless customer journeys and real-time customer data from Adobe’s enterprise-grade customer data platform (CDP), Adobe Real-Time CDP.

Personalization at scale, powered by Adobe Experience Platform

• Adobe Experience Cloud, Powered by Adobe Experience Platform: Adobe Experience Cloud applications are now powered by Adobe Experience Platform, Adobe’s open and extensible enterprise platform that transforms data into real-time, unified customer profiles that can be activated to deliver personalized customer experiences through Adobe Experience Cloud applications.

• New Cross-Cloud Integrations: Adobe’s offerings across Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Document Cloud and Adobe Experience Cloud empower brands to tell powerful stories, meet the demands of remote work and personalize experiences in the digital economy. A unified workflow between Adobe Workfront, Creative Cloud Enterprise and Adobe Experience Manager Assets powers end-to-end content creation and delivery. The new Adobe Acrobat Sign connector for Workfront Fusion makes it easy for brands to integrate and automate e-signing into their Adobe Workfront business processes.

• Adobe Experience Cloud for Healthcare: Healthcare is personal and the experience should be too. With Adobe Experience Cloud for Healthcare, healthcare enterprises can design and deliver more personalized digital experiences, empowering consumers to actively manage their own health.

Real-time Customer Data Platform

New artificial intelligence (AI) innovations in Adobe Experience Cloud, powered by Adobe Sensei, Adobe’s AI engine, allow businesses to personalize content, predict revenue and customer behavior and transform data into actionable insights. Over 80% of Adobe Experience Cloud customers are now using Adobe Sensei to power experiences for their customers.

New Adobe Learning Manager: Adobe’s new, cloud-based learning platform makes it easy to create new and engaging digital learning experiences for customers, partners and employees – a priority for businesses looking to drive customer retention, sales performance and bridge the knowledge gap.

Metaverse and Immersive Experiences: Integrations across Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Experience Cloud are fueling the creation and delivery of immersive experiences, to position brands to succeed in the metaverse. Among these new innovations is the launch of the new Adobe Substance 3D Modeler in beta that makes 3D creation and sharing more accessible and powerful than ever.

Sneaks From Adobe’s Research Labs: Innovations from Adobe’s research labs help businesses leverage technology like AI, machine learning (ML) and augmented reality (AR) to stay ahead of the customer experience curve. Leveraging the principles of vision science, the Project Design Decoder sneak, for example, focuses on improving accessibility on retailer websites.
