Adobe Experience Cloud Innovations Announced at Summit

These 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.
• 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.

Among these innovations is the launch of the Adobe Substance 3D Modeler in beta that makes 3D creation and sharing more accessible and powerful than ever.
• Sneaks From Adobe's Research Labs: The latest 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.
