The Adobe License Optimization Framework

A buyer side framework for finding Adobe shelfware, right sizing your estate, and truing down before your next renewal locks the waste in.

What is inside

What the framework covers

The framework walks through the full optimization cycle we use on client engagements: how to measure real Adobe usage, how to separate genuine need from shelfware, how to right size each product, and how to reset the baseline before an uplift is ever applied. It is written for the buyer, not for Adobe.
