Cloud Migration & AEMaaCS

Move to AEM as a Cloud Service with confidence — structured assessments, cloud-native refactoring, staged content migration, and zero-downtime cutover planning.

Overview

What this covers

Adobe's end-of-life timeline for AEM 6.5 makes cloud migration a strategic priority, not an optional upgrade. AEM as a Cloud Service delivers automatic patching, elastic scaling, and Adobe's latest features — but the migration path requires careful planning.

We start every cloud migration with a Best Practice Analyzer assessment and environment audit. Custom code, OSGi configurations, Dispatcher rules, and content models are evaluated against cloud compatibility requirements before any refactoring begins.

Our four-phase methodology — discovery, architecture, staged migration, and go-live — minimizes risk with validation gates at every stage. Content integrity, SEO continuity, and integration connectivity are verified before cutover.
