Adobe’s Acquisition of Workfront Aligns Creative and Marketing Teams Like Never Before

IO Integration is pleased to announce that we are now an Adobe partner. We are thrilled to be joining such an incredible partner network that is committed to helping clients get the most out of their Adobe solutions.  

As everyone knows, Adobe rules the creative solutions ecosystem. Their portfolio of products is extensive and Creative Cloud meets every conceivable need a creative team could possibly encounter. Adobe applications, tools, and services are the industry standard for photographers, graphic designers, video editors, illustrators, and marketing professionals. These tools are the lifeblood that powers the marketing we see every day and everywhere. If you are part of a marketing team organization, you are using Adobe products. At the enterprise level there is only one leader in creativity software and that is Adobe.

Adobe’s dominance of the creative solutions ecosystem did not come about by chance. Adobe leadership created an innovative strategy for growing their applications and their business. They invested wisely in the second part of the marketing equation. Omni-channel publishing with the Experience Cloud suite of products (previously known as Marketing Cloud) are responsible for the large-scale digital transformation that has taken place over the last decade. The marketing experience has shifted from a one-to-many approach to a personalized one-to-one that has dramatically changed how organizations are building relationships with their customers.  

Connecting Marketing and Creative

Despite Adobe’s strategic planning and hard work, the challenge of executing across traditionally siloed business units such as marketing and creative operations still remains. With Creative Cloud exclusively serving creative teams and Experience Cloud’s focus on marketing teams, aligning technologies can be an obstacle for many organizations. Having served the creative operations industry for the past two decades, IO Integration could not be more pleased with Adobe's acquisition of Workfront. With the addition of Workfront, Adobe can now deliver the most powerful Operational System of Record (OSR) to Experience Cloud enabling transparency and cohesion between creative and marketing teams.

IO Integration (IOI), a Creative Operations leader and a Workfront Partner of the Year for 2020, specializes in implementations and integrations. IOI is well positioned to support existing clients and countless other organizations needing an experienced partner to integrate Workfront into their Adobe ecosystems. At IOI we have years of experience integrating Workfront into an array of digital ecosystems and maintain a strong understanding of the Adobe solutions. Our expertise is streamlining production and integrating digital asset management, workflow automation, and review and approval cycles into the larger marketing technology stack. We see the addition of Workfront to Experience Cloud as the missing link to bringing teams together.
