Adobe Systems Incorporated has announced the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), an operating unit of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), has awarded an expanded contract that includes Adobe® Connect™ Web conferencing software to enable deployed troops, support personnel, and military leaders to collaborate more efficiently across locations worldwide.
