Case Study: Adobe achieves streamlined third-party governance and GRC efficiency with Aravo Solutions

Adobe - Customer Case Study

Adobe faced a fragmented third‑party governance model: roughly six groups (procurement, security, privacy, contingent workforce, etc.) each used their own documents, emails, surveys and spreadsheets to manage about 30,000 vendor records (10,000 active). That siloed, manual approach produced inefficiency, poor visibility, missed tasks and growing regulatory and risk exposure.

After an RFP, Adobe implemented Aravo as a single, secure third‑party management platform to consolidate onboarding and lifecycle monitoring; six departments now keep data refreshed on about 7,000 third parties. The change reduced onboarding time and administrative effort (90% of record updates meet the three‑day standard, 70% within 24 hours), improved data accuracy and risk categorization, cut compliance gaps, and increased agility — an outcome recognized by GRC 20/20.
