Overview
Why LiveCycle ES
Online applications offer dramatic cost savings to your company and a more positive and productive experience for your customers, constituents, partners, and employees. But if the applications are not intuitive and lack compelling interactivity, people won't use them.
Adobe LiveCycle ES can help you:
- Build more engaging experiences that scale from paper forms to rich and interactive online applications
- Reduce development time with intuitive and integrated developer resources
- Protect sensitive information to inspire confidence on both ends of a transaction
- Extend your enterprise with new applications that reach inside and outside the firewall
- Build end-to-end business processes that create the perfect mix of print and electronic communications
