Case Study: Architectural Resources Cambridge streamlines Adobe licensing and lowers costs with Connection Inc

How to Create Functionality, Efficiency, and Room to Grow

Architectural Resources Cambridge (ARC), a nationally recognized architectural and design firm, faced a complex and fractured software licensing environment for its Adobe applications. With a mix of old suite versions and standalone licenses, managing installations and tracking workstations was inefficient. Director of IT Don Knowles sought a better solution and turned to vendor Connection Inc for help before an upcoming Adobe Creative Suite renewal.

Connection Inc advised switching from a Transactional Licensing Program to a Cumulative Licensing Program (CLP) for Adobe CS5. This solution allowed ARC to upgrade existing suites and convert standalone licenses into full suites without exceeding their initial budget, getting more value. The new program from Connection Inc streamlined software management with a single license number, reduced the IT maintenance burden, and provided a longer renewal cycle.
