BOSTON; July 13, 2015 - SapientNitro, part of Publicis.Sapient, today announced that Adobe has certified the company as its first Global Specialized Partner for Adobe Analytics, a key component of the Adobe Marketing Cloud.

Adobe Analytics helps clients deliver optimal brand experiences by providing real time insight into the performance of marketing initiatives. As a result, clients are better able to refine and tailor personalized marketing campaigns and digital experiences across every channel.

The Analytics certification builds upon SapientNitro's earlier achievement as the first certified Global Specialized Partner for Adobe Enterprise Manager (AEM). AEM enables companies to better organize, manage and deliver creative assets and other content across digital marketing channels.

"Adobe Analytics gives us the power to optimize the customer experience across touchpoints by enabling our clients to capture, manage, and use data to generate insights and personalize interactions," said Ryan Scott, Vice President and Global Strategy Lead for Digital Marketing Platforms, SapientNitro. "SapientNitro is proud to be Adobe's first partner to achieve global certifications first in AEM and now in Analytics. This is great recognition of our ability, at a global scale, to leverage Adobe's market leading digital marketing technologies to help our clients deliver immersive, relevant experiences at the intersection of technology and story."

SapientNitro and Adobe have worked together to deliver optimized brand experiences for hundreds of clients including NASCAR, ADT, Audi and Henkel.

In order to achieve the Analytics and AEM certifications, dozens of SapientNitro professionals participated in training and passed exams across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Today, SapientNitro employs more than 800 Adobe specialists and maintains a Center of Excellence dedicated to Adobe technologies and delivery methodology.

"We are pleased to recognize SapientNitro as the first globally certified partner on both AEM and Analytics," said Jay Sampson, vice president, Global Partners at Adobe. "We are excited to continue working with SapientNitro to drive value for our joint customers."

As part of the Publicis.Sapient platform, SapientNitro's most recent certifications continue to reinforce Publicis.Sapient as Adobe's leading partner globally.
