AEM Upgrades
Delivery patterns

Practical patterns for complex AEM estates.

Every estate is different, but the questions repeat. These patterns show how we structure the work without inventing client claims or assuming a target state before discovery.

AEM Sites estate

Version upgrade with inherited customizations

A safe route begins with a repository and bundle inventory, then proves the highest-risk customizations in an isolated environment.

  • Compatibility findings
  • Prioritized remediation backlog
  • Release validation checklist

AEM Sites and Assets

Content and DAM migration planning

Content models, asset metadata, tags, references, and authoring workflows are mapped before migration scripts are scaled out.

  • Content mapping
  • Reference reconciliation
  • Author acceptance plan

Hybrid to cloud journey

AEM as a Cloud Service readiness

Cloud constraints are made explicit across code, dispatcher configuration, deployment pipelines, integrations, and team responsibilities.

  • Readiness gaps
  • Target operating model
  • Staged delivery roadmap

AEM delivery recovery

Upgrade recovery after a blocked release

A focused review isolates the blocker, captures the decision history, and creates a proof-of-path before work resumes at scale.

  • Blocker analysis
  • Proof-of-path build
  • Decision log
