Case Study: Macmillan Publishers achieves streamlined collaboration and faster creative workflows with Adobe Photoshop

Macmillan Publishers - Customer Case Study

Macmillan Publishers, a top-five U.S. trade publisher producing about 2,000 new projects a year and supported by more than 175 designers and marketers, needed consistent access to up-to-date creative tools and better compatibility with freelancers, print shops, and other vendors. To centralize license management, control rollouts, and eliminate version incompatibilities, Macmillan adopted Adobe Creative Cloud for enterprise through Adobe Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop’s deployment of Adobe Creative Cloud for enterprise was rolled out company-wide in a single night with zero downtime, using packaged apps and controlled updates to keep everyone on the same versions. The move cut delays from file down‑saving, enabled more efficient collaboration with freelancers and vendors, boosted productivity with automated plug-ins and scripts (the Make Book Jacket script saves 20–30 minutes per project), and delivered new features and training that improved designers’ skills and reduced turnover.
