By Jason M. Lemkin on August 5, 2013

We recently passed the 2 year anniversary of our acquisition by Adobe.  I’ve learned a lot that I want to cover later, but one question I was recently asked was what can do in an acquisition as a founder to help manage your team to success. I was not a perfect executive after our acquisition. […]

Adobe and SAP head towards the cloud

Adobe and SAP head towards the cloud

By Dan Morrill on May 8, 2013

Adobe and SAP head towards the cloud Not unexpected but with the idea of the subscription model to even out income at Adobe, and the success of other cloud ERP providers SAP had to do this, expect more large companies to watch this roll out and see what happens. I have not gotten into Adobe […]

The Law of Attach Rates, And Why Partners Can’t Really Move the Needle For You (Directly)

By Jason M. Lemkin on January 14, 2013

I want to spend a little time on some learnings about Strategic Partners in SaaS.  First, let me be clear — to make it in SaaS, you’re probably going to need to achieve real success with Strategic Partners.  Because it takes a Village.  And because your partners will likely, through integrations in particular, make your […]

Chrome Update With Print Preview, Better PDF

By Zoli Erdos on August 2, 2011

I’ve long switched to the Chrome browser and have not looked back.   Our readers seem to agree (partial stats based on last 500 views). Chrome is my favorite not beacuse they say users of that other browser are dumb (ouch…), but because of the constant innovation, the added features I am getting without ever having […]

Adobe's Hot Air x2

By Zoli Erdos on June 16, 2009

I’ve said it once, and if it was true while Adobe claimed 100 million installs, it’s just as true now that they claim 200 million.

Does iPhone’s Success Validate Microsoft’s S+S Strategy?

By Krishnan Subramanian on April 7, 2009

Adobe boasts record download and installation numbers for Flash and Air, and Venturebeat claims they are winning the platform race.
