If you work for a small company (or by yourself), you might take for granted the ability to install Adobe apps and access stock art, fonts, and plugins whenever you wish. But it’s not like that for everyone.

I remember well the days of working for a large company where our IT department allowed us to use only “safe” (old) versions of the apps. We often felt the frustration of lagging two versions behind the cutting edge.

I made it my mission to improve that situation. As a trusted member of the staff, I was allowed to install and experiment with the latest tools and to have a voice in when they were released to the entire group.

As communication between IT and the design department improved, newer tools started arriving on our desktops a lot sooner.
