New Adobe Experience Manager Accelerates Development of Digital Experiences Across Channels
SALT LAKE CITY --(Business Wire)--
Adobe (News - Alert) Summit, the Digital Marketing Conference - Adobe
(Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced a major new release of Adobe®
Experience Manager, the market leader in Web experience management,
including innovations for simplification of website re-platforming,
dynamic asset delivery and mobile app development.
According to a survey conducted by Adobe, Digital
Roadblock: Marketers Struggle to Reinvent Themselves1,
marketers agree they need to reinvent themselves to succeed, and
nearly three-quarters stated the top driving force behind this need for
change is the expanded number of channels and platforms to reach
audiences. Adobe has responded to the need for a more expedient
development process for both web and mobile app marketing, delivering
new capabilities through its Adobe Experience Manager solution for:
-
Sites - Touch-enabled interface simplifies the launch of web
and mobile sites, and a newly imagined template approach can help
reduce project time by up to 50 percent. New dashboards give marketers
greater insight into the most effective content on online properties,
while support for automated translation helps reach global audiences
faster. Through integrations with leading commerce engines, Experience
Manager provides organizations the flexibility to build rich
experiences that lead to purchase on their commerce platform of choice.
-
Assets - Dynamic, interactive media experiences, including
video, can now be authored and delivered across devices. Advanced
video features now include the ability to add annotations and measure
engagement. New workflows help streamline tasks such as photo shoots
for campaign launches. Experience Manager Assets provides deeper
integration with Adobe
Creative Cloud, enabling Adobe's leading digital media tools to
store, sync and share assets with Adobe Marketing Cloud. Marketers can
then use assets across Adobe's digital marketing solutions, including Adobe
Target, Adobe
Campaign and Adobe
Social, supporting the delivery of a consistent brand experience
across all channels.
-
Apps - Combined with the new PhoneGap
Enterprise (see
separate release), Experience Manager provides the only mobile app
development platform for both developers and marketers. Developers can
quickly build cross-platform apps, such as for retail and financial
services. Marketers can then use Experience Manager's drag-and-drop
interface to edit and add to apps, as well as push content updates
from the web to apps. Marketers can also analyze app performance in
real time through new, built-in integration with Adobe
Analytics.
-
Communities - As brands shift focus to building communities -
and loyalty - on their own online properties, Experience Manager
delivers a full set of capabilities designed to support them at scale.
Organizations are now empowered to easily moderate communities and
help boost engagement with sentiment analysis. New machine translation
provides community members the ability to select their language of
choice, and helps marketers overcome communication barriers and grow
brand advocates worldwide.
-
Forms - Large volumes of forms can be created, managed and made
available as part of websites, mobile sites and mobile apps, with
capabilities to adapt to device types and user responses. Forms can be
integrated with business processes, helping government agencies,
financial services organizations and others increase efficiency and
improve response times.
The capabilities of Adobe Experience Manager are built on a unified
platform, offering organizations the flexibility to deploy and manage
digital experiences themselves or in the cloud via Adobe's managed
services.
