\n<\/p>\n

Almost exactly a year ago, Microsoft and Adobe announced<\/a>\u00a0a strategic partnership around Microsoft\u2019s Azure cloud and Adobe\u2019s Marketing Cloud. That, however, was only a first step for the two companies. Today, they are announcing a major expansion of this partnership that sees them collaborating around e-signatures and team communications.<\/p>\n

Specifically, this expanded deal means that Adobe Sign will become Microsoft\u2019s preferred e-signature solution, with integrations into Office 365 and Dynamics 365, while Microsoft Teams \u2014 the company\u2019s Slack competitor \u2014 will become the preferred collaboration service for the Adobe Creative Cloud, Document Cloud and Experience Cloud.<\/p>\n

Microsoft will also integrate Adobe Sign into services like its workflow automation service Flow<\/a>, and the Microsoft bot framework<\/a> will be able to talk to Sign, too, to\u00a0check on the status of an approval process, for example. And when a user drops a new template into a specific Creative Cloud folder, Flow will also be able to see this and automatically route the document through the approval process.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Adobe will also make Microsoft Azure its preferred cloud of Adobe sign. This means Adobe\u2019s Creative Cloud tools, for example, will see deep integrations into Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n

The Adobe Sign integration with Teams, Flow, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook will go live in the coming weeks. The Creative Cloud integration with Microsoft teams will also launch soon, with the integrations into the Adobe Experience Cloud following after that.<\/p>\n

Adobe\u2019s Jon Perera, the company\u2019s VP of product development for its Document Cloud, told me that he expects this deal will also make other Adobe products, including the likes of the Adobe Stock stock imagery marketplace, more discoverable, and will hence drive more users to it. The two companies also expect to do a lot of joint enterprise customer engagements and campaigns.<\/p>\n

Microsoft and Adobe obviously share a huge number of customers already, while their product portfolio only overlaps in a few areas. That makes for an easy partnership, though it comes as a bit of a surprise that Microsoft wouldn\u2019t want to build its own e-signature solution. I asked Microsoft\u2019s corporate VP for Office 365 about this. \u201cAs a company, we always wanted a very strong partner ecosystem. We can\u2019t do it all,\u201d he told me. \u201cWhat\u2019s best for our company is to have a strong partner ecosystem. We do what each does best.\u201d<\/p>\n
