Adobe Announces 3-year Joint Enterprise Licensing Agreement With DoD

(RTTNews) - Design software maker Adobe (ADBE) said the U.S. Department of Defense or DoD has entered into a three-year Joint Enterprise Licensing Agreement that would result in expanded access to Adobe software across branches and departments.

The agreement provides the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and Defense Information Systems Agency the ability to standardize on Adobe Creative Cloud products, Adobe Acrobat, and capabilities of Adobe Experience Manager.

The contract, valued at $40.5 million, was awarded to CDW-G, a government IT solutions provider that works in partnership with Adobe.

As part of the agreement, the three DoD organizations can now provide Adobe's creative software and forms and document solutions to multiple units, at the same time reducing costs through standardization.

While these commercial applications utilize online services, they also support offline and private cloud implementations.
