Adobe Unveils LiveCycle Enterprise Suite 2

Mobile Access, Flash Based Workspaces and Cloud Deployment to Deliver
Applications for Business-Critical Customer Interactions
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe LiveCycle
Enterprise Suite 2 (ES2), a major software release enabling businesses and
governments to build applications that improve interactions with customers and
constituents across devices and channels. Delivering significant productivity
improvements to IT and line-of-business managers, LiveCycle ES2 provides a rich
Internet application (RIA) framework for building customizable RIA workspaces,
mobile and desktop access to critical applications and deployment in the cloud.
Enterprises can now deliver personalized experiences that connect to automated
processes and embed real-time collaboration in the applications to improve
customer experience and boost employee productivity.

"Adobe LiveCycle ES2 is an ideal complement to our business process automation
efforts. With the latest release, we anticipate even greater efficiencies in
automating processes that touch our employees, partners and customers," said
Rainer Hahn, chief information officer for personal services telekom at Deutsche
Telekom. "Adobe LiveCycle ES2 is flexible and easy-to-use, enabling us to
quickly transform some of our most complex business processes. This helps us
better reach our business goals."

"Adobe LiveCycle ES2 enables enterprises to build software solutions that work
the way people work, in a format that people have become accustomed to in their
personal lives, with social media, mobile and consumer applications -- this is
key to driving business in today`s economy," said Rob Tarkoff, senior vice
president and general manager, Business Productivity Business Unit. "LiveCycle
ES2 offers powerful tools and environments such as model-driven application
development, self-service RIA frameworks and streamlined authoring to enable
organizations to create applications that more effectively generate, capture,
and exchange critical information."

LiveCycle ES2 now integrates more tightly with the Flash Platform and PDF
technologies. This enables enterprise developers to create user-centric
applications that contrast with the more traditional, unwieldy system-centric
applications users have had to tolerate. New Adobe application modeling
technology brings higher productivity to Adobe Flex and LiveCycle developers and
allows them to more efficiently write applications by reducing the amount of
code and simplifying data and service integration. Also, a new LiveCycle ES2
plug-in for Adobe Flash Builder 4 beta lets developers more seamlessly embed
LiveCycle ES2 technologies into any Flex based application. Furthermore, the new
Adobe LiveCycle Collaboration Service (formerly Adobe Flash Collaboration
Service), a hosted service, provides developers and enterprises with a scalable
solution to easily build real-time, multi-user collaboration into existing or
new RIAs. The powerful and flexible framework accelerates the development and
deployment of user-centric applications by enterprise developers.

The new Adobe LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 is a composite RIA framework for rapidly
assembling intuitive, personalized and activity-centric RIA applications.
Developers can extend existing enterprise applications by exposing their
business logic and user interfaces into application "tiles." Tiles are
context-aware, user interface application components that can be assembled to
create unified views that best suit the user`s work habits and specific needs.
Users can switch between multiple tasks without losing work in progress, and can
save workspaces to return to later.

LiveCycle ES2 features expanded options for participating in critical business
processes. Adobe LiveCycle Workspace ES2 Mobile offers access to LiveCycle ES2
from iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices, allowing users to interact
with tasks on the go. Adobe LiveCycle Launchpad ES2 provides easy desktop access
to LiveCycle ES services. Users can use a simple drag-and-drop interface to
create a PDF or add policies for secure document processes.

Adobe is also announcing the ability for enterprise customers to deploy
LiveCycle ES2 as fully managed production instances in the cloud, with 24x7
monitoring and support from Adobe, including product upgrades. LiveCycle ES2
preconfigured instances will be hosted in the Amazon Web Services cloud
computing environment, providing organizations a faster deployment path and
lower total cost of ownership.

To further ease deployment and expedite time to value, Adobe is expanding its
set of Adobe Solution Accelerators. Built on LiveCycle ES2, Adobe Solution
Accelerators help organizations kick-start project planning and prototyping, and
decrease development time. In addition to the Account Enrollment Solution
Accelerator and Correspondence Management Solution Accelerator for financial
services institutions, Adobe now adds Benefits and Services Delivery Solution
Accelerator for government entities; Electronic Submissions Solution Accelerator
for life sciences organizations; and Human Capital Applications Solution
Accelerator for businesses and government entities. Adobe Solution Accelerators
provide best practice methodologies, UI and process templates, and code building
blocks to extend LiveCycle ES2.
