AEM to WordPress CMS Migration
Are you researching alternatives to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) CMS, or how to migrate from AEM to WordPress CMS?
For teams running AEM, formally known as Adobe Communique 5 (CQ5) as their CMS, the costs to maintain, host, and develop are significantly higher than on WordPress.
Between Microsoft operating system licensing fees, less features and integrations out of the box and the greater costs to hire and run an AEM team, the expenses or Total Cost of Ownership of an AEM site is large.
Migrating to a WordPress powered website from AEM CMS allows an organisation to save costs on development, hosting and maintenance.
One of the reasons that stakeholders avoid migrating from AEM to WordPress is to avoid downtime, SEO penalties and an inability to maintain and develop their new platform. In a nutshell, resistance to change.
What you want is an agency partner that is experienced at migrating from AEM CMS to WordPress CMS, and with over ten years of experience in enterprise migrations, you can feel confident that your team will be able to deliver on your business and technology strategy by ensuring the migration is handled properly, any risks are mitigated and the WordPress site launch is a success.
