Last month, the company announced that it has completed the acquisition of Frame.io, a leading cloud-based video collaboration platform. Accordingly, skyrocketing demand for video means that video teams must create an ever-increasing volume of content in close collaboration with dispersed stakeholders. “With the growing importance of video, we’re proud to add Frame.io’s industry-leading, cloud-native workflow capabilities to Creative Cloud,” said Scott Belsky, chief product officer and executive vice president, Creative Cloud. “We are committed to enabling collaboration beyond Adobe’s applications to the growing number of third-party applications across the creative ecosystem, many of which Frame.io supports.” With this piece of information, is ADBE stock worth buying?

Recently, the company announced a partnership with International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) to extend the reach of a set of tools that oil companies use to manage different types of data.

Amazon and IBM working together would resolve this problem. Accordingly, by using IBM’s technology called OpenShift, oil companies can use the oil-industry cloud data tools in their privately owned data centers within their countries. In light of this partnership, would you consider adding AMZN stock to your list of enterprise software stocks?
