Adobe Experience Cloud (AEC), formerly Adobe Marketing Cloud (AMC), is a collection of integrated online marketing and web analytics products by Adobe Inc.
History
Adobe Experience Cloud includes a set of analytics, social, advertising, media optimization, targeting, web experience management, journey orchestration and content management products,[2] hosted on Microsoft Azure.[1]
The Adobe Marketing Cloud collection was introduced to the public in October 2012[3] as Adobe began retiring the Omniture branding it acquired in October 2009.[4][5] Products of the defunct company were then integrated, step-by-step, into the new Cloud service[6] which includes the following eight applications: Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, Adobe Social, Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Media Optimizer,[7] Adobe Campaign (Classic and Standard), Audience Manager and Primetime. In November 2013, Adobe Systems introduced mobile features to its Marketing Cloud, making smartphones and other mobile devices new targets for analytics.[8][9][10]
On September 15, 2009, Omniture, Inc. and Adobe Systems announced that Adobe would be purchasing Omniture, which is an online marketing and web analytics business unit in Orem, Utah.[11] The deal worth $1.8 billion, was completed on October 23, 2009,[5][12] and is now joined by other Adobe owned assets such as Day Software and Efficient Frontier, as the main components of Adobe's Digital Marketing Business Unit.[13][14] Around 2012, Adobe withdrew the Omniture brand while its products were being integrated into the Adobe Marketing Cloud.[13][15][16]
In 2013, Adobe also attained Satellite TMS from Search Discovery and renamed it Adobe Dynamic Tag Management (Adobe DTM) to replace their Adobe Tag Manager. Using what was learned from Adobe DTM, Adobe made Adobe Launch, the next-generation tag management system, and released it in 2018.
On May 21, 2018, Adobe announced the acquisition of Magento for $1.68 billion.[17] The addition of the Magento Commerce enables commerce features to be integrated into the Adobe Experience Cloud.
In the same year, on September 20, 2018, Adobe obtained the marketing automation company Marketo.[18] This transaction is expected to close in 2018.[19]
In 2021, Adobe Experience Platform Launch will be integrated into Adobe Experience Platform as a suite of data collection technologies.[20]
