Case Study: Constellation Academy of Wine achieves rapid global training rollout and major travel-cost reductions with Adobe Connect

Leading wine purveyor enhances staff training and strengthens relationships with growers and winemakers, sales channel, and customers using Adobe Connect

Constellation Wines N.A., a leading international wine producer and marketer, needed a cost-effective, scalable way to keep roughly 2,870 employees and a large network of distributors, resellers and customers up to date on products and training. Their previous classroom-focused model—sending staff to Napa for weeklong sessions—was expensive, slow to update, and limited in reach.

They adopted a hosted Adobe Connect solution with Adobe Presenter and Creative Suite tools to deliver blended live and on-demand training and web meetings (about 850 active learners). The change dramatically cut travel costs, reduced training time from months to weeks or days, expanded geographic access, streamlined administration, improved training quality, and strengthened relationships with partners and customers.
