Content Migration to and from AEM
Content migration is one of the most critical and underestimated aspects of an AEM migration project. Whether you're transferring content from a third-party CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Sitecore) to AEM, or from an AEM On-Premise instance to AEM Cloud Service, every page, every template, every workflow must be transferred without data loss.
Our use cases
- AEM → AEM Cloud migration: using Content Transfer Tool (CTT) for pages, assets, users, groups and permissions
- Third-party CMS → AEM: WordPress, Drupal, Sitecore — structure mapping, template transformation, metadata migration, SEO redirects
- Content restructuring: site consolidation, obsolete content cleanup, template harmonization, Content Fragments
Our approach
- Inventory — We map everything: pages, templates, components, assets, workflows, permissions
- Mapping — Correspondence between old and new: which template becomes what
- Automation — Python scripts + AI to automatically transform and validate
- Validation — Every page verified: visual rendering, links, SEO metadata, workflows
- Go-live — Final transfer with minimal freeze window. 301 redirects in place

FAQ
How long does a content migration take?
From 2 weeks for a small site (< 1,000 pages) to 3 months for a multi-site environment with more than 50,000 pages.
Is there a risk of data loss?
No, if the process is rigorous. We validate each transfer with automated verification scripts that compare source and target content page by page.
Can we migrate content without migrating the code?
Yes. If your code is already compatible with AEMaaCS, we can intervene only on content, assets and permissions migration.
Have a content migration project?
