An expert reports on Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE), "This situation began to change over the last two years, and the stock has done phenomenally well. They brought in some new talent, got a new CFO who really streamlined a lot of the operations and the accounting, put in significant new controls, including an SAP system to keep track of business. The company used not to know how they were doing until after the quarter was done. Now they can tell on a daily basis how much is sold of a particular product in any given geographic area."
