AEM → Contentful
AEM's licensing costs and operational overhead are hard to justify for most organisations. We migrate enterprise teams to Contentful, same capability, significantly less overhead.
AEM licensing and managed service costs are consuming budget that should go toward growth. As the cost-to-value ratio becomes harder to defend, teams start evaluating modern alternatives.
Despite AEM's promise of editor autonomy, most implementations still require developer involvement for content changes that should take minutes. That bottleneck has a real cost.
Years of custom components, deprecated modules, and accumulated workarounds make every change feel risky. The cost of maintaining that debt grows every year.
AEM's full feature set is powerful but expensive. Most teams use a fraction of what they're paying for. Contentful delivers what you actually need at a significantly lower total cost of ownership.
Lower total cost of ownership
Enterprise compliance without the overhead
Marketing team independence

AEM licences typically run into six figures annually — before managed services, infrastructure, and specialist developers. Contentful is an enterprise platform with enterprise pricing, but most teams moving from AEM see a meaningful reduction in total cost of ownership. We can help you model this during discovery.
Not if the migration is managed properly. We map every URL, implement redirects, and validate all metadata before go-live.
Most AEM implementations require a frontend rebuild — AEM's HTL templates are tightly coupled to the CMS and don't carry over to a headless environment. We handle both the migration and the frontend rebuild as part of the same engagement.
Yes you can continue using AEM to publish. We plan migrations to minimise disruption — including staging environments and phased rollouts where needed.
It depends on your content model complexity and content volume. We audit your AEM setup upfront and flag plan implications before migration begins.
We audit every integration upfront — CRM, analytics, personalisation, DAM — and map each one to its replacement in the new stack before migration begins.
Tell us what you're running and what's not working. We'll give you an honest assessment of what a migration involves and whether it's the right call.
