Strategic partnerships and agreements pave the way for growth
Adobe has entered into a global reseller agreement with SAP (SAP) that will involve reselling Adobe Marketing Cloud with the SAP HANA platform and the Hybris e-Commerce Suite.
Recently, Adobe also entered into a strategic partnership with Wipro (WIT) and Publicis Groupe to develop a new business unit and a marketing management platform, respectively. These comprehensive partnerships should help Adobe gain more market recognition and expand its presence.
Growth in mobile advertising will drive growth
Adobe’s sharpened focus to sell its offerings to online advertisers, coupled with a “mobile and connected devices” revolution—and especially growing demand for analysis of mobile-based advertising—is expected to boost growth in the digital marketing segment. So Adobe should benefit from this trend.
