AEM Headless Business Case

Hi all,

 

I am aware of AEM Headless.

But what could be a real Business Case behind this?

Customer wants to use AEM as a Content Authoring system, but not as a Content Delivery.

 

Appreciate all your responses.

 

Thanks,

RK.

    Hi ​@nsvsrk 

     

    The real business case is generally where the client wants an omnichannel requirement.

    Like a banking domain, where they want a common place to manage content on the website, mobile app, or any custom portals. They don’t want to author the common details again, but rather have a centralised system from which they can control the content, such as interest rates or Terms and Conditions, so that they need to update only in one place.

    Thanks ​@chaudharynick .

     

    1. In a case like this, it will be Hybrid - regular AEM Implementation + Headless correct?

    Regular AEM Implementation for Web and Mobile.

    Headless for custom portals.

     

    Could there be a pure Headless requirement?

    1. Do we use Experience Fragments or Content Fragments or a combination of these two for Headless?

    Thanks,
