Speaking exclusively to channelnews, Adobe's Pacific marketing manager, Mark Cokes said that "we are experiencing good growth across all markets at present", adding that the "last three quarter earnings results beat the predictions".
In terms of where the growth is coming from, Cokes notes that surprisingly, "a large proportion of our profits are coming from new business", with the biggest buyers being creative clients, government departments and photographers, adding that locally, the company has about "60-70 per cent market dominance, and even more with the Photoshop range".
In terms of which products are doing the best for the company Cokes says that the "the CS3 suite is by far the best performer", although he is at pains to point out that the company "never puts all its eggs in one basket".
Asked about the future though, Cokes surprisingly points to a number of online initiatives that the company is pursuing, putting it in a similar direction to the likes of Google.
One app that Adobe is pushing is called Buzzword- an online word processor, which Cokes says, "will become more popular as time goes on, although not with the Government sector where there are security concerns with online hosted apps".
