Rather than building their own software, they have started looking towards acquiring acquire solutions that have already gained a massive and loyal customer base. This will help them in an integration of their products and services, jumping the queues and thus driving innovation faster.
With this in mind, Adobe acquired Magento, pulling the eCommerce platform into the Adobe suite of solutions. Starting out as simple software launched to meet the needs of a few retailers, Magneto is a leader in the eCommerce space powering billions. On the other hand, Adobe, a name so big, has been offering customers an all-in-one media and marketing experience for years.
The scale of Adobe’s marketing products with Magento’s eCommerce expertise seems a perfect blend for a streamlined end-to-end online retail solution. Since the move over 6 months ago, Adobe has been rapidly integrating Magento onto its cloud platform, now providing a more complete digital commerce experience.

Allowing users and developers to create a unique store, Magneto is a favorable choice of many.
Under the acquisition, developers now have more opportunities to personalize their sites. The Adobe Experience Cloud aims to fill in the personalization gaps that Magento alone was lacking.

Filling in the Gaps
This acquisition scratches an itch eCommerce companies have been desperately gnawing at for years. Business owners have always longed for a product or company that could handle web content management, consumer experience management, order management and data analytics.
For a long time, Adobe was great at web content management but failed to become a global platform leader. Magento seemed to face an opposite problem. A leader in the digital realm for years, Magento has faced a severely limited capability to support web management, customer experience and optimization. This is why Adobe and Magento blend is expected to work remarkably. Where Magento falters, Adobe shall pick up the slack, and vice versa.
In this new blend, not only are Magento customers able to create an amazing website but follow their customers along the way. Via Adobe programs, companies are able to track their customers, to see what is successful and what is not. This integration also ensures that customers are the top priority and have the most pleasant experience.
