Adobe Software Optimization and Cost Management Case Study

This case study outlines Adobe's strategic approach to software optimization and cost management through the implementation of Zylo's AI-powered Discovery Engine. The document details the challenges Adobe faced, including the need for visibility into their software portfolio, which initially consisted of over 2,600 applications. By leveraging Zylo, Adobe identified and categorized these applications, leading to significant reductions in their software portfolio from 2,600+ apps to 400 preferred titles. The case study describes how Adobe consolidated redundant software, improved license management, and automated processes, resulting in over $60 million in cost savings and avoidance. Additionally, the document highlights the creation of the Workspace Store, a centralized software catalog that enhances employee experience while mitigating risks associated with unvetted software purchases. Overall, Adobe's initiatives have led to substantial time savings, improved governance, and more efficient procurement processes.
