In a strategic partnership aimed at revolutionizing marketing workflows, Adobe and Microsoft have announced plans to integrate Adobe Experience Cloud capabilities into Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365. This collaboration aims to empower marketers to overcome application and data silos, streamlining everyday tasks and enhancing productivity.

Empowering Marketers with Contextual Insights
“Microsoft and Adobe share a common goal of empowering marketers to focus on the work that’s most important – creating impactful campaigns and enhancing customer experiences,” stated Jared Spataro, Corporate Vice President, AI at Work, Microsoft. “By integrating contextual marketing insights from Adobe Experience Cloud applications and Dynamics 365 within the flow of work through Copilot for Microsoft 365, we deliver on our shared goal while helping marketers streamline their efforts and deliver exceptional results.”
Streamlining Complex Marketing Workflows
