2. INTRODUCTION AEM empowers businesses to deliver exceptional experiences across all touchpoints, from web to mobile to IoT devices and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) as a cloud service emerges as the best choice for developers and marketers seeking to maintain a competitive edge. AEM cloud services boast distinctive features including potency, extensibility, and swift deployment through modern cloud-native architecture. Many brands have grown and paved the way by reshaping their infrastructure with AEM, meeting and surpassing the evolving demands of their customers

3. ADVANTAGES OF MIGRATING FROM AEM ON-PREMISES TO CLOUD It is crucial for an organization to highlight the return on investment (ROI) of every significant upgrade or migration. Here are the benefits of migrating from AEM On-Premises to the Cloud: Website Availability AEM as a cloud service ensures the availability and optimal performance of your website. It supports vertical and horizontal growth, consistently delivering engaging experiences. AEM Cloud can handle even the highest traffic loads efficiently, guaranteeing optimal uptime without causing undue stress to your team. Moreover, there is no need for additional spending on infrastructure or hardware, as you can scale up or down according to client needs.

4. Enhanced Security Ensuring security has always been a top priority for businesses of all sizes. With AEM Cloud migration, you can expect robust security measures to protect your infrastructure and client data. Adobe regularly releases bug fixes and security patches, closely monitors the infrastructure, and provides swift assistance if any security threats are identified. Simplified Content Management Cloud-based AEM management is often simpler and more efficient than on-premises deployments. Cloud providers handle upgrades, backups, and infrastructure maintenance, allowing IT professionals to focus on more strategic initiatives.

5. REDUCTION IN OVERALL COSTS OF OWNERSHIP Using AEM as a cloud service significantly lowers mid-term ROI and TCO. The cloud model, based on usage, allows businesses to reduce fixed hardware expenses and save money on licensing. By leveraging environment management and automated version upgrades with AEM as a cloud service, businesses can save on Adobe managed services and ensure they are always using the latest CMS version. Additionally, the ability to scale up or down in response to organizational needs provides further cost efficiency. Eliminating infrastructure and hosting expenses also contributes to significant cost savings. This model substantially lowers mid-term ROI by avoiding high costs associated with on-premises hosting and equipment management. While there are some initial costs involved in transitioning from on-premises to the cloud, these are mostly one-time fees.

6. A COMPLETE GUIDE FOR MIGRATING FROM AEM ON-PREMISES TO AEM AS A CLOUD SERVICE Proper planning and strategic steps are essential for assisting businesses in successfully migrating from on-premises to the cloud. Our expert team adheres strictly to the scheduled plan. • Review, assess, and monitor the processes. The first step is to review AEM as a cloud service, evaluate how the changes might impact your current operating environment, identify the functionalities that are available and those that are not, and collaborate with your Adobe Experience Manager service provider to address any needs.

7. 2. Code And Environment Preparation for AEM Cloud Service This process involves preparing your AEM setup for cloud computing, which is a technical endeavor. Adobe offers the Best Practices Analyzer, a tool that evaluates your current AEM configuration and provides recommendations for improvements and best practices. Certified AEM specialists use the analyzer's report to assess the effectiveness of your current setup and suggest modifications for transitioning to the cloud. In addition to optimizing code and eliminating outdated components, AEM teams ensure a smooth transition and enhanced efficiency. The next step involves launching AEM as a cloud service and configuring its core component, AEM Cloud Manager. While your AEM migration service provider will conduct thorough testing post-migration, it's crucial to ensure that AEM is properly configured for cloud services from the outset.

8. TRANSITIONING PROJECT AND CODE TO AEM CLOUD Your code has been refined and adapted to operate seamlessly on both your cloud-based AEM instance and your current environment. Ensure that all environments—production, staging, etc.—are configured and ready for cloud deployment. At this stage, simply push your code to the Cloud GIT repository. Avoid making substantial code changes at this time. Presentation by Alexander Aronowitz | Business Marketing | 2024 | Rimberio University
