AEM AMS & On-Prem → AEM as a Cloud Service Migration

The Challenge

AEM as a Cloud Service is not a simple upgrade. Legacy AMS and on-prem implementations often carry years of customization, dispatcher complexity, and technical debt. A lift-and-shift approach usually leads to instability, poor performance, and higher long-term cost.

We specialize in migration as an engineering transformation — not a one-time deployment event.

Our Migration Framework

1) Readiness & Architecture Assessment

• Environment & deployment inventory
• Repository & code quality review
• Dispatcher & CDN behavior analysis
• Integration and dependency mapping
• Risk matrix for migration & modernization

2) Migration Strategy & Roadmap

• Migration model selection and execution approach
• Modularization and remediation plan
• Compatibility and refactoring priorities
• Cutover / rollback strategy and guardrails
• Timeline aligned with business milestones

3) Migration Execution

• Repository transformation and restructuring
• Dispatcher and caching realignment
• Codebase remediation for AEMaaCS compatibility
• Content and asset migration strategy & execution
• Functional, integration, and performance validation

4) Post-Migration Stabilization

• Technical debt cleanup and risk reduction
• Performance tuning and monitoring baselines
• Engineering enablement and handover
• Operational governance and best practices

Expected Outcomes

• Stable cutover to AEM as a Cloud Service
• Cleaner and more maintainable AEMaaCS codebase
• Predictable deployments through pipelines
• Reduced long-term operational and maintenance risk

We design migrations to improve the platform — not just move it.

Next Step

The best way to start is with a focused migration readiness & risk assessment.

We review your current AEM implementation, identify risk areas, and outline a migration and modernization approach tailored to your environment.
