Adobe kicked off
Adobe Summit 2023 - the world's largest Digital Experience Conference - by unveiling a wide range of product innovations across
Adobe Experience Cloud, the world's leading customer experience management solution, and
Adobe Creative Cloud, the world's leading platform for creating compelling content, together empowering brands to drive experience-led growth.
As
content becomes the critical foundation of next-generation digital
experiences, new Adobe innovations are connecting Experience Cloud and
Creative Cloud to optimize content creation, delivery and measurement.
At Adobe Summit, Adobe debuted new Adobe Sensei GenAI services, including Adobe Firefly -
a new family of creative generative AI models, first focused on image
generation and text effects - as well as new generative AI innovations
across Adobe Experience Cloud to power end-to-end marketing workflows.
The company also announced new Adobe Product Analytics and a reimagined
content management solution enabling marketers to self-serve website and
mobile app edits.
To accelerate and democratize creative development at enterprise scale, Adobe unveiled Adobe Express for Enterprise,
empowering anyone within an organization to rapidly create and iterate
content, regardless of their creative skill level. Adobe also announced
the world's first comprehensive Content Supply Chain solution, made
possible through Creative Cloud and Experience Cloud innovations that
connect popular tools for planning, creating, reviewing and distributing
creative collateral so teams can come together to meet growing content
demands in less time.
"As
the digital economy continues to expand, profitable growth will come
from connecting the complete customer experience - from acquisition to
engagement and retention," said Anil Chakravarthy, president, Digital
Experience Business at Adobe. "Our latest Adobe Experience Cloud
innovations uniquely connect customer experience creation and
management, empowering brands to efficiently scale, unify and
personalize digital experiences across surfaces, and achieve sustained,
experience-led growth."
Industry Momentum
Adobe
Experience Cloud is the industry's leading platform for delivering,
measuring and personalizing customer experiences, now relied upon by
over 12,000 customers - including 87% of Fortune 100 companies and 74%
of Fortune 500 companies - with support from 4,000 global ecosystem
members and 450 Adobe Experience Platform partner integrations. Adobe
Experience Cloud has continued to gain traction across multiple
verticals by introducing solutions to alleviate industry-specific pain
points.
In the healthcare space, CVS Health, Elevance Health and UnitedHealth Group are the latest companies that have adopted Adobe Experience Cloud for Healthcare,
enabling secure delivery of engaging consumer experiences, and
empowering patients to actively participate in their healthcare
decisions.
Adobe
is also increasingly addressing business-to-business (B2B) use cases,
empowering highly personalized marketing for B2B industry leaders such
as Amazon Web Services, Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, Qualcomm and Splunk.
Within
the financial services industry, businesses are increasingly adopting
Adobe Experience Cloud to support highly personalized experiences. Adobe's Real-Time Customer Data Platform (Real-Time
CDP) helps businesses including Bank of America, Fidelity Investments,
Morgan Stanley, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo ensure their customers can
manage their financial goals by receiving information and offers that
are relevant, timely and consistent.
AI and Generative AI Innovations
New
Adobe Sensei GenAI services in Adobe Experience Cloud will redefine how
businesses deliver customer experiences. The services will be
integrated natively in Adobe Experience Cloud as a co-pilot for
marketers, improving productivity and efficiency while providing full
creative control and trusted governance capabilities. Sensei GenAI will
leverage multiple large language models (LLMs) including Microsoft Azure
OpenAI and FLAN-T5 within Adobe Experience Platform, depending on
unique business needs.
Adobe
also unveiled Adobe Firefly-a new family of creative generative AI
models, first focused on image generation and text effects-which will be
integrated into Adobe Experience Cloud for businesses to generate
content designed to be safe for commercial use. Adobe's first Firefly
model is trained primarily on hundreds of millions of professional-grade Adobe Stock images,
openly licensed content and public domain content where copyright has
expired. Firefly-generated output will have real business value in
commercial settings, as it doesn't generate content based on other
people's or brands' IP.
Sensei
GenAI services and Firefly will act as co-pilots for creative and
marketing departments, enabling them to generate new content-driven
experiences at the speed of their imaginations with more precision,
power and ease - directly within Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Experience
Cloud and Adobe Document Cloud applications and workflows.
Additional Product Innovations Announced at Summit
- New Adobe Product Analytics in Adobe Experience Cloud redefines
the product analytics category by unifying customer journey insights
across marketing and product. For the first time teams focused on
customer experiences can benefit from a unified view of the customer and
collaborate seamlessly across an organization.
- Adobe's revolutionary new release of Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) redefines
the Content Management System category, enabling teams to easily update
company websites and mobile apps using popular word processing or
spreadsheet tools. By lowering technical barriers, next-generation AEM
will democratize and accelerate enterprise content management. The new
AEM also uses Adobe Sensei AI to analyze how various attributes of
content impact performance among different audiences and recommend
changes that will resonate more strongly with viewers.
- Adobe unveiled the industry's first comprehensive Content Supply Chain solution, empowering
teams to develop more effective content in less time. By connecting
planning, production, delivery and analysis, Adobe's integrated Content
Supply Chain solution drives efficiencies and major cost savings, while
delivering experience success. The solution brings together
applications, services and integrations across Adobe Creative Cloud and
Adobe Experience Cloud and is already delivering value to top brands
including Xfinity Creative.
- New Adobe Express for Enterprise brings
one of Creative Cloud's most innovative and accessible tools into a
universal creative solution for marketers and enterprise leaders,

content workflows, facilitating more unified content development and
marketing processes.
