Moving to The Cloud: Different Approaches to Adobe Experience Manager Migrations by Ali Moussa, Bounteous

Abstract

A migration to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) as a Cloud Service can be a fun and exciting time for your organization. The prospect of new functionality, modern design systems and infrastructure, better security, increased efficiency (and so much more) can be very appealing. It’s also an initiative that needs to be handled with careful planning. Taking the time and effort to develop a migration plan that is right for your organization is crucial to ensure you not only leverage the latest and greatest technologies the new platform has to offer, but that the valuable time and money you spend today continues to pay dividends for years to come.

There are several approaches to a migration and it’s important to take the time to do it right. Options could vary from a Lift & Shift implementation to a complete Rewrite or landing somewhere In-Between.

Taking the time to carefully consider the right approach for you can mean the difference between a single smooth and successful migration or several costly attempts that may still result in a less-than-stellar implementation. This unfortunate situation occurred recently with one of our clients: their previous partner built their initial solution around support for a single country and developed what appeared to be a fully functional and successful implementation. When we were brought in and time came to support a multi-national approach, however, the previous solution unfortunately could not support the new requirements and required reworking from the ground up. Careful planning before the initial phase could have prevented the time and money wasted on the initial, short-sighted implementation.
