Adobe (ADBE) Partners BMW Group for Experience Cloud Services

Adobe ADBE has extended its partnership with BMW Group in a bid to digitally transform BMW’s sales and marketing division.

BMW Group — including its four brands BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce and BMW Motorrad — is using the Adobe Experience Cloud to offer customers with seamless online and offline experiences like customized vehicles, doorstep delivery and personalized post-purchase services.

Also, BMW will be able to offer personalized and relevant recommendations to its customers on the back of  Experience Cloud’s data-driven capabilities.

Apart from Experience Cloud, BMW Group utilizes Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Sign, and Adobe Creative Cloud for Enterprise.

By leveraging Adobe’s advanced technological products, BMW aims to sell one-fourth of all its vehicles online within the next three years.

We note that the recent collaboration with BMW has added strength to Adobe’s customer base. Further, it highlights the robustness of the Experience Cloud offerings.
