Adobe + Omniture + WPP = game changer


Bookmark and Share
Twitter was on fire!

A short post to share my thoughts. I won't go into a long rambling about it.

Some deep thinking and speculation from all horizons. For the most part, people didn't see it coming... why did Adobe purchase Omniture? To make Flash tagging easier?

That’s not the point.

This picture clearly says what it's all about:
Adobe + Omniture means they will be looking at the whole value-chain process of developing website content and applications. This is far beyond making it easy to tag Flash!

Also, don't forget the huge strategic agreement with WPP. Add up Adobe + OMTR + WPP and you’ve got a major player who can change and steer the industry.

Cette image vaut mille mots. Compte tenu qu'une immense part du contenu web est développé avec des logiciels Adobe (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, etc...), l'intégration d'Omniture dans la suite de produits se fera sûrement rapidement.

Par contre, les développeurs et programmeurs ne tiennent pas souvent compte de l'utilité d'affaire d'un site web, alors est-ce qu'ils pousseront pour y intégrer des outils de web analytique ? Probablement pas. Est-ce que les dirigeants d'entreprisent on déjà utilisé des outils d'Adobe autre qu'Acrobat ? Non, dans 99.9% des cas.
Où est la valeur ajoutée ? Dans l'équipe de vente d'Adobe peut-être ?

There seems to be some concensus that this acquisition is awkward. However, it is in the same vein as IBM's Websphere partnership to integrate Coremetrics within the development platform and production cycle.
