Adobe CQ for IT

Empower IT to rapidly deliver templates, designs, and web components on-premise or in a cloud-based environment

Customers are demanding personalized digital experiences. CIOs and IT leaders have a strategic imperative to build web experience management platforms that compete and increase market share using on-premise or cloud-based solutions. Adobe® CQ transforms and optimizes the delivery of customer experiences across web, mobile, and social channels on multiple deployment models.

IT agility

Building state-of-the-art composite content applications requires an unprecedented openness and connectivity into the existing environment to fully leverage current data sources and process investment. Adobe's open, standards-based enterprise content management (ECM) platform, CRX, is built on a modern architecture and is a highly scalable content repository.

Adobe CQ provides a productive, feature-rich development environment with support for lightweight RESTful web scripting, simple packaging, and deployment of application changes.

Adobe CQ Cloud enables agility and rapid development through hosted and managed cloud-based services to empower the provisioning, management, and metering of resources in less time while managing operational costs. Adobe's cloud hosting service allows for easy sharing and community contributions.

In addition, leveraging the Adobe CMIS and JSR-283-compliant CRX platform, Adobe CQ provides IT a 24/7 operating environment with hot application updates, hot backups, and hot joint clustering with on-demand scalability through support for hybrid on-premise and cloud hosting deployments.

  2. Ease of capacity handling for traffic spikes and troughs facilitates management of in-demand applications.
  3. Metering and subscription-based capabilities reduce capital costs and maximize operational spend.

  5. Use of shared-nothing clustering increases operational efficiency.
