From the Adobe perspective, this may hint at the strategic direction of the company into more SaaS offerings. Omniture has gained a lot of experience running Enterprise-level SaaS products. Adobe has shown interest in this model with Adobe Connect and I predict we will see more Flash-based services like it from Adobe if the acquisition goes smoothly.

The one point I disagree with is #7. SiteCatalyst is archaic and I can't imagine anyone running a robust practice using SiteCatalyst -- unless the idea is to turn this into a very low end, < 1k per year product. There needs to be a Discover product, is that Insight? If so, their outrageous pricing model needs to change. I agree with most of your points, I think you are spot on.

In my opinion, in 5 years HTML 5 will be ubiquitous with it's standard native video player rendering Flash's last and only reason for existing obsolete. Flash for anything other than video was obsolete 5 years ago. Some interesting points, but you lose me on point 8.

As a part of a consultancy that is an Omniture partner, I am very anxious to see where this road leads and what it means for current Omniture partners and customers alike. I'd say that I agree with you on the number of acquisitions that have been made by Omniture too. They do have a tone of different products right now. I was as surprised as everyone yesterday with the news of the acquisition, but would be utterly shocked if Adobe decided to go down some kind of free model path for SiteCatalyst. Given how expensive things like Photoshop are, I can't see them giving anything away! I especially agree that the timing and acquisition partner is perplexing.

Especially 10d. I have worked with the folks at Adobe on the ColdFusion side of things and they have done great things for ColdFusion and the community that uses it. I hope that Adobe will take the same steps with Omniture in keeping the folks that have made it what it is, and help take it along to the next steps. -Rudi Adam,
