In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, staying ahead means embracing cloud-native agility. For enterprises currently relying on on-premise or managed services, the decision to upgrade AEM 6.5 to Cloud Service is a strategic move toward always-on innovation, auto-scalability, and enhanced security.

At Associative, we specialize in guiding businesses through complex digital transformations. As an Adobe Bronze Solution Partner, we possess the validated technical expertise required to migrate your legacy Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) infrastructure to the modern AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) environment.

Why Upgrade to AEM as a Cloud Service?

Moving from AEM 6.5 (on-premise or AMS) to the Cloud Service acts as a catalyst for digital maturity. It eliminates the need for manual upgrades, ensures you are always on the latest version, and leverages a containerized architecture that scales automatically with traffic.

However, the migration is not a simple “lift and shift.” It requires significant refactoring of code, asset workflows, and CI/CD pipelines. This is where Associative’s engineering rigor comes into play.

Our Migration Expertise

We offer a comprehensive approach to help you upgrade AEM 6.5 to Cloud Service, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum performance.

1. Assessment and Readiness

We utilize the Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) to evaluate your current AEM 6.5 instance. We identify deprecated APIs, legacy custom code, and content structures that require modernization before the move.

2. Code Refactoring & Modernization

AEM as a Cloud Service enforces strict coding standards. Our team of backend experts (Java, OSGi, Spring Boot) and frontend developers (React, Angular) will refactor your codebase to ensure compatibility.

  • Mutable vs. Immutable Content: Separating content from code to align with the cloud file system.

  • Asset Compute Service: Migrating legacy media workflows to the new microservices-based processing.

  • Dispatcher Configuration: Converting monolithic dispatcher configurations to the cloud-compatible structure.

3. Cloud Manager Implementation

We set up and manage Adobe Cloud Manager for your DevOps needs. We implement robust CI/CD pipelines that automate testing and deployment, ensuring that your transition to the cloud is secure and reliable.
