AEM Upgrades
AEM bail-out path

When an AEM upgrade is stuck, start with a controlled way out.

Upgrade blockers are rarely one problem. They are usually a mix of inherited custom code, unclear content dependencies, and decisions that were never written down. We help you stabilize the estate, prove a route, and move forward without guesswork.

Progressive recovery

Four steps from blocked to ready

Each step produces a usable artifact, so you can pause, decide, or continue with a clear record of what was learned.

01

Stabilize the current estate

We start with a short technical review that identifies release blockers, risky customizations, and the operational decisions that cannot wait.

02

Choose a safe route

You receive options for an in-place upgrade, staged re-platform, or AEM as a Cloud Service journey—matched to your content, team, and change window.

Prove the migration path

A representative slice of code and content is moved through a non-production path so assumptions are tested before the wider program begins.

Cut over with control

Runbooks, rehearsal, reconciliation, and an agreed rollback decision make the final change a managed operational event.

Critical intervention areas

Fix the blocker, not the whole project.

A Bail-Out can take responsibility for one difficult module while your existing team continues with the broader program.

UI/Core customizations
Dispatcher and caching
Indexing and query behavior
OSGi and dependencies
Legacy JSP to HTL modernization
Integrations and asynchronous processing
Cloud Manager, CI/CD, and automation

Defined engagement

Choose the amount of ownership you need.

Rapid assessment

Current-state assessment, blocker inventory, risk classification, remediation recommendations, and closure criteria.

Specialist sprint

Take ownership of one or more critical blockers for a defined delivery window.

Embedded engineering

Work alongside the existing team for a defined period with clear technical ownership.

Complete rescue

Own the remaining upgrade engineering and drive it toward the agreed target state.

A blocked release

Find the smallest safe intervention to unstick a release or restore a reliable decision path.

An inherited estate

Build the inventory and acceptance criteria your team needs before choosing a migration route.

A difficult decision

Bring technical and business stakeholders around options that are explicit about trade-offs.

AEM recovery conversation

Bring us the blocker, not a polished brief.

Share what is failing, what has already been tried, and when you need clarity. We will help define the next useful step.
