Adobe Systems: Most Innovative Multimedia Software Solutions United States 2016
Home to two of the most celebrated and widely used software solutions for the graphic industry – Photoshop and Illustrator – Adobe Systems has gathered a loyal and large following amongst creative professionals who need cutting-edge products that allow for a seamless workflow from inspiration to the medium of choice.
Powered by both organic growth and acquisitions, Adobe Systems has accumulated a vast and scalable software portfolio that offers comprehensive one-stop solutions. The company’s engineers have managed to forge divergent products into coherent and streamlined bundles of integrated programmes that build on each other’s strengths to deliver both superior performance and user experience in addition to offering features not available elsewhere.
A pioneer of cloud-based computing, Adobe was one of the first amongst major software makers to move its entire product line away from physical media. The company also introduced a subscription-based model – since copied by others – whereby clients rent licenses rather than buy them. This way, users enjoy continuous product upgrades and lower overhead costs.
The company’s Creative Cloud, its flagship product, gives professionals access to a full suite of software tailored to their specific requirements. Whilst Photoshop and Illustrator remain at the core of Creative Cloud, Adobe now offers an exceptionally large universe of sophisticated add-on and stand-alone software that allow creative professionals to give wings to their imagination. The CFI.co judging panel wholeheartedly endorses Adobe Systems as winner of the 2016 Most Innovative Multimedia Software Solutions United States Award.
