Migration and optimization of AEM for a global media company

Migration and optimization of AEM for a global media company

Client Overview:

A major international media holding.

Challenge:

The client faced performance and scalability issues with their outdated version of AEM. A migration to the modern cloud-based version was required, ensuring minimal operational disruption.

Solution:

We developed and executed a migration plan that included:

  1. Auditing the current infrastructure to identify bottlenecks
  2. Designing a new architecture based on AEM as a Cloud Service
  3. Phased migration of content and custom user components
  4. Performance optimization and caching configuration
  5. Integration with a CDN to accelerate content delivery
  6. Setting up automatic scaling to handle load fluctuations

Special attention was given to ensuring business process continuity during the migration and optimizing infrastructure costs.

Outcome:

The client achieved:

  • A 60% increase in page load speed
  • A 40% reduction in infrastructure costs
  • The ability to handle peak traffic without additional investments

The key value was delivered through comprehensive performance optimization and the transition to a modern cloud architecture. This not only resolved existing challenges but also created a reliable foundation for the future growth of the client’s digital business.

Project Tasks

  • Designing the new architecture based on AEM as a Cloud Service

    This task was pivotal for addressing the client’s scalability and performance challenges. By transitioning to AEM as a Cloud Service, the architecture leveraged modern cloud capabilities, ensuring reliability, automatic scaling, and cost efficiency, which formed the backbone of the solution.

  • Performance optimization and caching configuration

    Improving performance was a core objective of the project. By optimizing system performance and implementing advanced caching mechanisms, we ensured a 60% increase in page load speed and the ability to handle peak loads efficiently, directly addressing the client’s pain points.
