Adobe Document Cloud and Acrobat DC Now Available

Friday 17. April 2015 - Adobe today announced the availability of its newest cloud offering, Adobe Document Cloud, a modern way to manage documents at home, in the office and across devices. Adobe Document Cloud consists of a set of integrated services that use a consistent online profile and personal document hub.

People will be able to create, review, approve, sign and track documents whether on a desktop or mobile device. At the heart of Document Cloud is the all-new Adobe Acrobat DC, which will take e-signatures mainstream by delivering free e-signing as part of the integrated solution. Acrobat DC, with a touch-enabled user interface, will be available both via subscription and one-time purchase. With a stunning, touch-enabled interface and powerful companion mobile apps, Acrobat DC delivers free e-signing with every subscription, now included as part of both Document Cloud and Creative Cloud. The release addresses the waste and inefficiency associated with document processes. Whether it’s school permission slips, health insurance forms or complex enterprise document workflows, Adobe will transform how people and businesses get work done.
In addition, Document Cloud for enterprise provides entire organizations with services, including enterprise-class e-sign services, that bring speed and efficiency to business document workflows. Document Cloud for enterprise offers solutions for industries including healthcare and insurance, financial services, media and entertainment, government, and schools and universities. And, enterprises can centrally manage Document Cloud and Creative Cloud user accounts and licenses with single sign-on (SSO) in the Adobe Enterprise Dashboard.

With Document Cloud, we are revolutionizing how people get work done with documents, and our customers are applauding the move.”
