Provo is a city in Utah. It is most notable for being the home of BYU (Brigham Young University) the main University of the LDS Church (Mormons).

Adobe has a dev center there (unsurprising, given Adobe's history.)

That was largely due to their acquisition of Omniture.

I didn't realize that, thanks. I figured it was an old-school Utah tech connection.

Sure. I was more referring to the cool graphics work being done at the University of Utah (Adobe, Evans & Sutherland, &c.)

Adobe's new facility for Omniture is north of Provo.

Yes the new Adobe building is closer to Point of the Mountain/Thanksgiving Point than it is Provo but the old Omniture offices were up near Technology Way in the Provo/Orem region. At least that is how I recall it.

Their old office was on the old Word Perfect campus (now called Canyon Park), near Provo Canyon.
