Adobe subscription and contract expertise
Adobe is a leading publisher of software for graphics and video, audio and photo editing. A few years ago, Adobe changed its licensing model from perpetual licensing to subscription. Since then, Adobe has experienced strong growth and has capitalized on the excellent image and leadership of its products, which are very widely adopted within organizations.
Adobe: no more non-compliance, but possible optimizations
Adobe has not conducted license audits for its customers for many years. However, Adobe license management remains essential because since switching to subscription mode, Adobe has been regularly increasing its prices.
Detailed management of your Adobe usage reduces the need for Adobe subscriptions and reduces costs for your organization.

One-off Adobe usage diagnosis and optimization plan
We help our customers to optimize their management of Adobe licenses and subscriptions. To do this, we support our customers in collecting data and optimizing usage by taking into account the actual usage of products, purchases of perpetual licenses and / or subscriptions, suites, and allocations of the Enterprise Dashboard. On the basis of this data, we especially help you uncover underuse of subscribed products in order to reduce the need for purchases or renewal of associated subscriptions. We can suggest other avenues for optimization, including better allocation of suites, improved user management, etc.
-
Quarterly, semi-annual or annual campaigns
For organizations wishing to regularly monitor their Adobe usage, Elée offers regular analysis campaigns. Our teams provide a process and a tool adapted to the context of each customer, enabling you to collect and process usage data for Adobe products. The results can be presented in the form of dashboards, creating a picture of changes in license consumption and helping you better control usage and spending.

Contract negotiation
We also help you to prepare and conduct your contract negotiations with Adobe. For 10 years, Elée has gained strong expertise in the management and negotiation of various Adobe contracts, including ETLA, VIP, CLP and TLP. We can benchmark your prices and clauses and identify the negotiation levers to use with Adobe to reduce your expenses on a long-term basis.

Tools
We help organizations to select and use the best tools to collect usage data (existing tools, with or without agents, scripts, etc.).
We have also developed our own tool to assess the number of licenses or subscriptions required. This tool adapts to different customer data sources and recommends optimizations that the customer is free to apply or not.
In addition, if you have a commercial Software Asset Management solution (Snow Software, Flexera Software, Aspera, Service Now, Landesk, etc.) we are able to use it.
