Digital Marketing Manager at Ford Motor Company
Centralized content management has unified our digital channels and delivers consistent experiences
Adobe Experience Manager offers enterprise-level digital assets management and very robust customization, brand value consistency, and omnichannel delivery. It saves development and maintenance time. The digital asset management and omnichannel delivery features have benefited my team by managing our digital assets, ensuring brand consistency, and enabling us to deliver customized content easily to our clients. Organizing and obtaining information from results is beneficial. Strengthening our online experience as a brand is valuable. Easy integration with other Adobe services improves productivity and provides a smooth experience. Adobe Experience Manager has positively impacted my organization by enabling component and page reuse, which reduces application size. It saves manual effort for maintaining all applications, improves traffic, and ensures consistency across all our applications. It provides better security, scalability, and makes our applications more robust.

GDS Search Services Leader, Knowledge Services at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Refiners help to easily narrow down results based on metadata applied to content. Previews allow users to take action from search results without opening the document.
The preview feature made the results page take too long to load. It also took a long time to generate document previews. Randomly, it would show “cannot load preview”. I do not know the reason, but that happened a lot and we had to turn this feature off. Preview load time could be reduced. We saw that it takes forever to load a document preview, and at times, after waiting, it just gave a ‘cannot load preview error’.
