Adobe Commerce Cloud announces cross-cloud integration with Experience Manager, Adobe Analytics

For digital marketers involved in their organizations’ ecommerce efforts, chances are you are using sales channels like Amazon and Google. For those of you currently using Adobe Commerce Cloud (formerly Magento Commerce), omnichannel sales — and all the digital marketing collaboration that goes into it — might become easier to manage, thanks to new integration capabilities supporting Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Analytics.

“We are as invested as ever in the mid-market” said Jason Woosley, vice president commerce product and platform at Adobe . “We are continuing to invest in additional resources and capabilities to drive real revenue and profit growth for our mid-market merchants across channels.”

Why we should care

The integrated capabilities are designed to give digital teams more management over behavioral analytics, content, inventory, sales and customer data across different sales channels from a single location in Magento Commerce. This could streamline workflows and save time for marketers already invested in Adobe’s Experience Manager or Analytics platforms.

“We [Adobe] are intrinsically involved in all experiences consumers have, from the ads they see to content to the sites they browse and the ecommerce sites where they buy merchandise and products,” said Peter Sheldon, senior director of strategy, Adobe Commerce Cloud. “Through the delivery of the Experience Cloud, we can create engaging experiences with SMBs.”
