The AI-Powered path: Migrating to AEM Cloud faster and smarter with 3|SHARE

The push to the cloud is undeniable. For Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) users, the question is no longer if they should migrate from an on-premise or Adobe Managed Services (AMS) instance to AEM as a Cloud Service, but how to do it efficiently and cost-effectively.

At 3|SHARE, we understand the common concerns: migrations can be lengthy, complex, and resource-intensive. That's why we've revamped the process. As an Adobe Platinum Solution Partner with deep roots across many industry verticals, including pharma and hospitality, we’ve developed a modern, AI-accelerated methodology that makes your transition to the cloud seamless, faster, and smarter.

Why migrate to AEM as a Cloud Service?

Moving to AEM as a Cloud Service isn't just a "lift and shift", it's a fundamental upgrade to your digital experience platform. The benefits are transformative:

• Always current: Say goodbye to complex, costly version upgrades. The platform is always on the latest version with continuous, automated updates from Adobe.
• Dynamic scalability: AEM as a Cloud Service automatically scales to meet traffic demands, ensuring optimal performance during peak times without manual intervention.
• Enhanced security: Leverage Adobe's enterprise-grade security, proactive monitoring, and built-in disaster recovery for peace of mind.
• Faster time-to-value: With streamlined CI/CD pipelines and Cloud Manager, your development teams can deploy new features and innovations more rapidly than ever before.
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Reduce your overhead on infrastructure management, manual updates, and performance tuning, freeing up resources to focus on creating value.

The AEM Cloud migration journey: Our phased approach

A successful migration requires a structured, proven plan. We accelerate this journey by leveraging Adobe's official AEM Modernization Tools - including the Best Practices Analyzer (BPA), the Content Transfer Tool, the Unified Experience plugin, and the All-in-One Converter - to ensure alignment with best practices. Building on this foundation, our process is broken down into three distinct phases, each enhanced by our proprietary AI tools as well as well known AI platforms to maximize efficiency.

Phase 1 - Readiness and strategy assessment: This is the foundational stage where we map out the entire project. We analyze your existing AEM implementation, including code, content, and integrations, to build a precise migration roadmap.

Phase 2 - Code and content modernization: Here, we execute the technical migration. This involves refactoring code to be cloud-native, adapting integrations, and structuring content and assets for the new environment.

Phase 3 - Go-live and optimization: The final phase involves deploying to the cloud, conducting rigorous testing, and launching your new AEM Cloud Service environment. Our work doesn't stop at launch; we monitor performance and help you optimize for success.

The 3|SHARE difference: Accelerating every phase with AI

This is where we change the game. We don't just follow the migration playbook; we supercharge it by integrating cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence tools into our daily workflows. Our experts, from Project Managers to Architects and Developers, leverage AI to work smarter, faster, and more effectively. This is how we make your migration faster and more affordable.

AI in the assessment Phase:

• AI-powered code analysis: Our custom tools automatically scan your entire codebase, instantly identifying deprecated APIs, incompatible custom code, and areas that need refactoring for cloud compatibility. This drastically reduces the manual discovery time from weeks to days.
• Intelligent content and asset audit: We use custom developed tools and AI to analyze your DAM, detecting duplicate assets, unused content fragments, and metadata inconsistencies. This ensures a clean, optimized repository from day one on the cloud.
• Streamlined project planning: Our Project Managers leverage AI Large Language Models (LLMs) to accelerate the creation of project documentation. They can instantly draft comprehensive user stories, outline detailed project plans, and define clear requirements, ensuring project clarity and alignment from the very start.

AI in the modernization phase:

• Developer acceleration with Generative AI: Our developers utilize Generative AI as a "pair programmer." This significantly speeds up coding by generating boilerplate code, refactoring complex logic, and writing unit tests, freeing up our experts to focus on the custom business requirements that deliver real value.
• AI-assisted QA: We leverage AI to generate comprehensive test scripts and varied test data. This allows our QA engineers to automate repetitive testing and focus their expertise on complex user journeys and edge-case scenarios, resulting in a more robust and reliable final product.

AI in the go-live & optimization phase:

• Proactive performance monitoring: Post-launch, our AI-driven monitoring tools analyze performance logs and user traffic in real-time to proactively identify potential bottlenecks or anomalies before they impact your customers.
• Smarter support: By integrating AI into our Managed Services and support offerings, we can diagnose and resolve issues faster, ensuring your platform runs at peak performance.
