giant was announced during the annual Adobe MAX conference in October and it means Ludus joins top IT tools including Google Workspace and Microsoft Teams. “We’re very honoured that a prominent company like Adobe has decided to work with us,” says Battaglia, a UMons computer science graduate. “It was incredible to
collaborate with them on this feature and have a behind-the-scenes look at how a major tech conference like Adobe MAX is organised. This collaboration puts us on the map and helps us be taken more seriously. It brought some traction from investors and journalists but, more importantly, it brought traction from potential customers.”
