This year, we earned our seventh Adobe specialization! Our latest specialization in Customer Journey Analytics strengthens our position as a leading Adobe partner and demonstrates our expertise in empowering clients to make informed decisions that drive business growth. Perficient is recognized by Adobe and our clients for our ability to deliver incredible digital experiences.

2. Showcasing Digital Experience at Adobe Summit 2024
Perficient had a significant presence at this year’s Adobe Summit conference, including hosting three industry focused events, two client success story presentations, and co-hosting the Women in Digital Breakfast. Our colleagues had the opportunity to connect with clients and other experts in the space to stay on the leading edge of technology. 
“We had a great turnout for the automotive and manufacturing breakfast,” said Robert Sumner, principal. “I had the opportunity to speak alongside Adobe’s head of industry strategy about how to modernize, innovate, and win in an increasingly competitive automotive and mobility market.”

The Women in Digital event at Adobe Summit has become an honored tradition for Perficient as it features a panel of influential women leaders facilitating conversations on professional growth, emerging industry trends, and other key topics.
“The Women in Digital event is an opportunity for female leaders to connect, share advice, and learn from their peers all centered around women empowerment,” said Meghan Frederick, senior marketing manager. “Perficient has partnered with Adobe to host Women in Digital panel discussions since 2017, making it the longest running event at Adobe Summit.”
3. Perficient Included in Forrester’s Adobe Services Landscape, Q1 2024 Report
Perficient was included in Forrester’s Adobe Services Landscape, Q1 2024 report as a medium-sized consultancy among many notable Adobe service vendors. In the report, Forrester identified top business scenarios that buyers most frequently seek and expect along with extended business scenarios to illustrate vendor differentiation.
“It is with immense pride and joy that Perficient is included in Forrester’s Adobe Services Landscape report, a significant milestone that we have pursued for years,” said Robert. “This recognition stands as a testament to our dedication and expertise in the field. Personally, this achievement holds significance as it reflects the culmination of my own efforts and contributions to Perficient’s success. It is a moment of celebration not only for the company but also for each individual who has played a role in shaping our Adobe journey towards excellence.”
Robert has been with Perficient for more than 20 years and is regarded as one of the founders of the Adobe practice at Perficient.

4. Fun and Rewarding Team Building Opportunities
There is no shortage of fun to be had within the Adobe business unit! From cooking competitions to golf tournaments and ping-pong tournaments, our Adobe team knows how to work hard and play hard. Here is what some of our colleagues had to say:
“In our Adobe BU, we care about each other,” said Raf Winterpacht, director, based in our Chicago office. “We take the time not only to ask how we can support each other, but we actually take on tasks when we see that someone’s workload needs to be balanced. Even though we’re dispersed around the world, we greet each other regularly. That is so important because it provides a sense of human connection.”

There is much excitement around our Adobe practice at Perficient, and our colleagues are true difference makers.”
“I want to know everyone in this practice and understand what they’re good at, what they like to do, where they want to grow, and what makes them uncomfortable,” said Matt Shields, managing director. “All of this is helpful to know when ensuring that people are well aligned in their role.
