Adobe accelerates into the Cloud

At the Adobe MAX, creativity conference, Adobe accelerated its shift to the cloud with a major update to Adobe Creative Cloud, its flagship offering for users.

Today’s update to Creative Cloud is packed with features, reimagining the creative process through a new set of ‚”CC‚” desktop applications and enhanced cross-device collaboration and publishing capabilities. With this update, files can be stored, synced and shared, via Creative Cloud, on Mac OS, Windows, iOS and Android. Behance is also integrated with Creative Cloud, so customers can showcase work, get feedback on projects and gain global exposure.

Adobe also announced that it will focus creative software development efforts on its Creative Cloud offering moving forward. While Adobe Creative Suite 6 products will continue to be supported and available for purchase, the company has no plans for future releases of Creative Suite or other CS products.

‚”We launched Creative Cloud a year ago and it has been a success,‚” said David Wadhwani, senior vice president and general manager, Digital Media, Adobe.

On top of new collaboration and publishing services and the integration of Behance, today’s announced update to Creative Cloud includes versions of Adobe’s next generation of desktop applications — including Adobe Photoshop CC, InDesign CC, Illustrator CC, Dreamweaver CC and Premiere Pro CC. Adobe’s desktop tools, previously known as Creative Suite (CS), are now branded CC to reflect that they are an integral part of Creative Cloud and have been reinvented to support a more intuitive, connected way of creating.

Adobe is facilitating the transition to Creative Cloud with attractive pricing plans and promotions for individual members, teams and enterprise customers.
