Tool in the design tools & developer tools space.

Overview

Adobe Experience Platform is an enterprise customer experience orchestration system that serves as a single source of truth for customer data. It enables organizations to collect, unify, and analyze data from multiple sources in real-time, then activate that data across channels and applications to deliver personalized customer experiences at scale.

The platform provides shared, composable capabilities including data collection, data management and unification, governance and privacy controls, insights generation, and agentic AI features. It powers Adobe's broader Experience Cloud applications while also supporting integration with non-Adobe data sources and systems, allowing enterprises to build flexible, multi-cloud customer technology stacks.
