Transform Digital Experience with Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service Migration

This blog will shed light on the path forward, helping organizations leverage cloud migrations to achieve business goals.

In the quest for digital supremacy, businesses often find themselves saddled with legacy systems that, while once cutting-edge, now impede agility and innovation. The migration from Adobe Experience Manager On-Premise to Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service presents a golden opportunity to shed this digital deadweight.

Why Settle for a Simple Lift and Shift?

Standard migration strategies often advocate for a 'lift and shift' approach by making it cloud-compatible, which, while straightforward, misses a critical opportunity for optimization. As systems age, they accumulate layers of complexity, redundant processes, outdated customizations, and underutilized features that can bog down performance. The past learning and our team migration playbook challenge this status quo, advocating for a migration that's not just about relocation but rejuvenation.

Trimming the Fat for a Leaner Platform

Blue Acorn iCi emphasizes the importance of the discovery and assessment phase, where businesses can take a scalpel to the bloat of their legacy systems. This phase is about understanding the business pain points, analyzing assets, and identifying opportunities for platform optimization. It's a chance to retire what's no longer needed and refine what remains, ensuring that the platform is not just cloud-compatible but cloud-optimized.

A Tailored Approach to Migration

Our organization’s playbook outlines the strategic approaches to migration, including the Big Bang, Phased, and Hybrid approaches. Each has its merits, but the Hybrid approach for complex platform deployment, in particular, offers a compelling blend of risk mitigation and efficiency. It starts with a proof of concept (POC) to test the waters, followed by a larger migration phase informed by the insights gained during the POC. This approach allows businesses to learn, adapt, and refine their strategy in real-time, ensuring a smoother transition with minimal disruption.
