Approximately 100 employees lost their jobs with computer software giant Adobe at its Preston Street headquarters in Ottawa, the company confirmed Tuesday.
In a statement released late on Tuesday in the U.S., Adobe said it planned to cut 750 positions and use $94 million as part of restructuring to focus on digital media and marketing.
The company said it plans to release its strategic objectives and an update of its business strategy. Its focus is to become more digitally based in terms of web and media.
The Ottawa location is the company’s only Canadian office, which focuses on product development, customer support and technical services.
Despite the layoffs, the Ottawa location will remain operational, the company said.
Adobe is known for its Photoshop and Acrobat software and its Flash multimedia platform.
