Adobe supports Singapore businesses through COVID-19 circuit breaker period

Adobe is supporting business continuity with special programmes and measures, including promotional rates and extended free trials, through SGTech’s online directory.

The resources include technology that supports videoconferencing, virtual meetings and events, as well as other remote business services that can be deployed outside of the traditional office environment to make work from home smoother and more efficient for everyone.

Simon Dale, MD for Adobe Southeast Asia said, “COVID-19 is changing everything about life and work as we know it. At Adobe we’re focused on how to best protect and support our families, employees, customers and communities in the face of this unfolding crisis.

"We also recognise the critical role our technology plays in creative pursuits and business success. Creativity, document productivity, and digital businesses are too fundamental to Singapore’s society and economy to be curtailed because we are working remotely or unable to travel. As such, coming together as an ICT sector to help local businesses navigate these unprecedented challenges is essential.”

Resources available during the COVID-19 response period include:
