Yesterday, Adobe Systems announced that they have acquired Scene7. Adobe Systems is based in San Jose, Calif. and Scene7 is based in Novato, Calif. The financial details were not disclosed, but Scene7 makes a great addition to Adobe’s current offerings.
Scene7 creates software to enable companies to have rich media content on their websites. And a majority of Scene7 employees will join the Adobe family. The Scene7 acquisition should be completed by the end of this month.
“It took one day to implement, one day to customize, and one day to start seeing the ROI. There are very few other technologies that can make this claim and keep it,” stated Craig Davidson, a controller at PUMA in regards to Scene7 software. Amazon.com uses Scene7 software for their Home section catalogs.
Scene7 previously raised funding from Moore Capital Management, Hearst Interactive Media, Weston Presidio, and several others.
“Scene7 has done a great job developing a sophisticated system that underpins the online delivery of high-fidelity imagery and dynamic assets,” added John Loiacono, a senior VP of Creative Solutions at Adobe. “This acquisition will help Adobe build out a robust Internet infrastructure, allowing us to further develop Scene7’s brand-name customer list and accelerate the online availability of technologies relied on by millions of creatives worldwide.”
