What to ask
Creative Group Managers
With all the developments in authoring and delivering content, how do you plan to stay innovative and competitive?
With Adobe Creative Cloud for teams, you’ll always have access to the latest releases of the software you need today and tomorrow. Get the newest features in Adobe’s creative applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign. You also get services for collaboration, publishing apps and websites, file sharing and versioning, and more.
Membership keeps your team up to date with upgrades to all-new versions as soon as they are available at no additional cost.
How effectively can your team share files, manage versions, and collaborate on projects using your current technology?
Creative Cloud for teams was built from the ground up to enable creative teams to share work. You can set up private folders, maintain file versions, choose the people you want to work with, and capture all activity related to the teams’ projects in one place. You can also share files with colleagues both inside and outside your organization. Creative Cloud for teams also comes with 1TB of cloud-based storage that can be used to view, edit, store, and share a larger set of files across the team as well as device-syncing capabilities to share projects anywhere, anytime.
How does your organization plan to create and publish content across desktops and mobile devices?
Creative Cloud for teams has all the tools you need to author content with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript to target both desktops and mobile devices. You can design responsive websites that look great on any screen and preview them on mobile devices with full interactivity. And because you always have access to the latest features in Adobe’s creative apps, you don’t have to struggle with workarounds or lack of support for new standards or devices.
Do you use only one Adobe product, such as Photoshop or Illustrator?
If you rely on only one Adobe app and you want access to the latest features, then you might want to consider the Creative Cloud for teams Single App plan. You simply choose one CC desktop app and you can join Creative Cloud for teams at a lower annual cost and still get 1TB of cloud storage for file sharing and collaboration, Adobe Portfolio, Adobe Fonts, Adobe Spark with premium features, and new features of your chosen app as soon as they are available.
IT Managers
What is your IT department doing to reduce the cost of license management, compliance, and version control across your organization?
While Creative Cloud for teams gives users access to Adobe’s latest creative tools, membership means you have only one product to manage. Centralized administrative tools make it easy to add and re-assign seats, monitor storage usage, and manage compliance. And Creative Cloud Packager enables you to centrally deploy all Creative Cloud desktop apps, or a customized subset, across your organization. Updates can also be centrally managed, or administrators can enable users to manage updates on their own. Members always have access to the latest features and upgrades at no additional cost, so you don’t have to manage multiple software versions across your organization or track upgrade eligibility. And advanced 24/7 tech support is included so you can solve critical issues fast and achieve better results while saving time and support resources.
Are you aware that the latest versions of Adobe’s creative applications are only available through Creative Cloud?
The only way to get the newest features for Adobe’s professional creative desktop applications—such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, InDesign, and After Effects—is in Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud for teams provides organizations with a low cost of entry to the Creative Cloud desktop applications plus a host of integrated services for collaboration, sharing, community feedback, and content publishing on a variety of devices.
Because Creative Cloud is a dedicated platform for delivering new features, products, and services, you can ensure your teams always have access to the latest technology. And by purchasing a membership instead of perpetual software licenses, you can keep your upfront costs low and your software budget more predictable.
Do some team members rely on only one Adobe product, such as Photoshop or Illustrator?
If you have team members who do specialized work and need only one Adobe app, then consider purchasing Single App seats for those users. The Single App plan offers one chosen CC desktop app—such as Photoshop or Illustrator—along with 1TB of cloud storage for file sharing and collaboration, Adobe Portfolio, and access to Adobe Fonts. You can combine both Single App and All Apps plan seats under the same membership agreement and manage both types across your organization using the Admin Console.
