Case Study: News Corp Australia achieves hands‑free IT and simplified Creative Cloud deployment with Adobe Creative Cloud for enterprise

News Corp Australia simplifies creative software access, distribution, and management with automated named-user deployment of Adobe Creative Cloud for enterprise

News Corp Australia, a major media company of about 9,000 employees, needed a better way to deliver Adobe creative software to roughly 2,000 users. Legacy serialized licensing was slow and labor-intensive for IT, causing delays for users and significant overhead managing who had access to which apps.

The company implemented Adobe Creative Cloud for enterprise with a ServiceNow catalog and Active Directory‑based named‑user groups, automating entitlement, deployment, and removals. The result was simplified, automated deployment to ~2,000 users, reduced IT license management and support, improved visibility into app usage, and faster access for power users (about 5% using self‑managed desktop apps).
