Move from on-premises or Adobe Managed Services to Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service. Prepare the code and content, preserve public URLs, and validate the cutover to reduce risk to organic traffic.
Request a 45-minute cutover review
A working session with a senior engineer to identify migration risks, validation gaps, and next steps.
Review custom code, components, workflows, integrations, and content before planning the move from on-premises or Adobe Managed Services.
Deliverable: A readiness assessment with required changes, dependencies, owners, and migration risks.
Adapt the application for Cloud Service, rehearse content and DAM transfers, and test authoring, permissions, and integrations in staging.
Deliverable: A tested cloud environment and a repeatable content-transfer plan.
Inventory published pages, DAM assets, existing redirects, and vanity/Sling mappings. Keep stable URLs wherever possible and send changed paths directly to relevant replacements.
Deliverable: A URL map recording the expected status, destination, and canonical for every inventoried path.
Check every inventoried URL against the map. Compare titles, H1s, robots directives, canonicals, hreflang, and sitemaps; test key templates against the performance baseline. Verify Dispatcher/CDN routing and protect authoring endpoints.
Deliverable: A go/no-go checklist with a final content sync, rollback triggers, and named owners.
Monitor indexing, crawl errors, organic traffic, Core Web Vitals, and critical integrations after launch. Investigate unexpected changes and agree when the source environment can be retired.
Deliverable: A migration validation report, operational runbooks, and monitoring ownership for your team.

|---|---|---|
| Managed Services | Support ended | |
| On-premises | Core support ends | |
| On-premises | Extended support ends |
Adobe releases roadmap and products and technical support periods. Service-pack support limits also apply. Adobe roadmap dates are subject to change; confirm coverage for your deployment with Adobe.
No. AEM 6.5 LTS provides a continuing path for on-premises and Adobe Managed Services customers. The dates above apply to AEM 6.5, not 6.5 LTS. We assess hosting requirements, customizations, and operational needs before recommending a path.
Preserving URLs, content, metadata, and crawlability reduces migration risk, but rankings can still fluctuate. We validate the move against a baseline and monitor indexing and organic traffic after launch. We plan redesigns separately to limit simultaneous changes.
Editors can update approved content on the source during preparation. Changes to public paths, templates, and redirect rules require review once the inventory is agreed. We schedule a publishing freeze for the final incremental content sync, then resume publishing in Cloud Service after validation. The rehearsal determines the freeze window.

Bring your AEM version, hosting setup, target date, and the migration decisions you need to make. We'll review the main risks, validation gaps, and next steps with you.
