Summary

Over the past six months, Adobe has been making efforts to become a pivotal and potentially disruptive player in the already mature commerce platform market. At the heart of this strategy lies the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) product (part of Adobe's digital marketing suite), for which the firm has lofty goals to sell into as many commerce opportunities as possible.
