Scope · Review · Prioritize · Roadmap
Find out what's holding your Adobe platforms back.
A scoped review of your Adobe setup, from configuration and data flows to use cases and team practices, that ends with prioritized opportunities and a roadmap to implement. It's the first phase of delivery, not a standalone report.
When it helps
Who an assessment is for
An assessment helps when you need a clear, shared picture of your Adobe setup before deciding what to implement next.
Progress stalled after go-live
The platform launched, but new use cases, adoption or optimization haven't moved forward since.
Reports don't reconcile
Numbers differ between Adobe applications, your CRM or internal reporting, and it isn't clear why.
You're planning a new use case
You want to know whether the current setup can support it, and what would need to change first.
You're adding another Adobe application
Before expanding, you want to understand how the new application would connect to what is already in place.
A new team has inherited the setup
The people who built it have moved on, documentation is thin, and you need to know how it works today.
Something else?

Cross-cutting
Across every application
Many issues sit between applications rather than inside one, so these areas are part of every assessment.
- Data flows between applicationsHow data moves between your Adobe applications, and where it is delayed, duplicated or inconsistent.
- IntegrationsConnections to CRM, ERP and data platforms: what is connected, how, and who maintains it.
- Governance and accessUser roles and permissions, data usage policies and consent handling across applications.
- Team practices and documentationHow changes are requested, built, tested and released, and what is written down.

How it works
Four steps from scope to roadmap
Each step has a defined output, so you can see what's been found before the final readout. The roadmap then sets the order of implementation.
Step 1: Scope and access
We agree the applications, use cases and questions in scope, who we'll speak with, and the access needed.
Output
Agreed scope and plan
Step 2: Interviews and configuration review
We talk with the people who use and run the platforms, and review configuration, implementation and data flows.
Output
Current-state observations
Step 3: Findings and prioritization
We consolidate what we found and rank opportunities by business impact, effort and dependencies.
Output
Prioritized opportunities
Step 4: Readout and roadmap
We walk your stakeholders through the findings and agree the sequence in which the priorities are implemented.
Output
Assessment report and roadmap
Deliverables
What you'll have at the end
Written for the people who will make decisions and do the work, whether that's your team or ours.
Platform assessment report
How your Adobe applications are configured and used, where the gaps are, and the prioritized opportunities.
Current-state map
Your applications, data flows and integrations as they work today, in one view.
Prioritized recommendations and roadmap
What to address first and why, with dependencies and a suggested sequence.
Readout session
A working session to walk through the findings with your stakeholders and answer their questions.
Before we start
What we'll need from you
The details are agreed at scoping. In general, an assessment needs four things.
Access
Read-only access to the applications in scope where possible, or a guided walkthrough with your team.
A few stakeholders
Time with the people who use, run and depend on the platforms — for example marketing, analytics and development.
Your goals
The business questions, planned use cases or problems you want the assessment to focus on.
Existing documentation
Any solution designs, architecture diagrams or tracking plans you already have. It's fine if there are none.
FAQ
Questions about the assessment
How long does an assessment take, and what does it cost?
Both depend on the number of applications in scope and the depth of review. We agree the scope with you first, then confirm the timeline and cost before any work starts.
Do we need to use all of these Adobe applications?
No. An assessment can cover one application or several, depending on what you use and what you want to understand.
Do you need access to our systems?
Reviewing configuration directly gives the clearest picture, so we ask for read-only access where possible. The access needed is agreed with you at scoping.
Can you assess a setup that someone else implemented?
Yes. The assessment looks at how your Adobe applications are configured and used today, regardless of who built them.
What happens after the assessment?
The assessment is the first phase of delivery, so the roadmap becomes the plan for what follows. Our team then delivers the priorities with yours, whether that's implementation and integration, optimization and ongoing support, or training. The roadmap is also written so your team can act on it directly.
