Adobe Systems today announced that it has acquired privately held Auditude Inc., a leader in video ad management and monetization technologies for publishers and media companies.
Through the acquisition of Auditude, Adobe is now ositioned to provide an
end-to-end video offering, connecting authoring, publishing, monetization and
optimization with the goal of helping its customers build businesses through the

"Premium video publishers want to capitalize on the foundational shift to
digital by providing viewers with great media experiences and maximizing the
value of their content on every IP device," said David Wadhwani, senior vice
president and general manager, Digital Media Business Unit, Adobe. "With this
acquisition, Adobe can now offer an unparalleled platform for authoring,
distributing, analyzing and monetizing digital video experiences everywhere ?

driving increased revenue for content publishers."
Supporting video ad management and monetization delivered via an open

Auditude's advertising server platform meshes with Adobe's video technologies,
such as Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5 software and Adobe Pass. The Flash Media
Server family of products delivers media to multiple platforms - including
Flash, HTML and native apps - with a choice of protocols that can save
bandwidth costs and lighten network load. In addition, Adobe Pass is enabling
content publishers to securely bring large catalogues of programming online.
