Why Successful Adobe Experience Manager MVPs Become Long Term Failures by Bounteous

Abstract

When purchasing a CMS Solution such as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), oftentimes the initial costs of licensing and migration drive business stakeholders to seek the lowest time and cost minimum viable product (MVP) solution to go live. However, that approach can leave a business with a shiny solution on Day 1 that is not ready for Day 2, requiring the business to choose between overhauling the solution or enduring higher maintenance costs for the life of the platform.
