AEM 6.5 support ends August 2026. Your migration doesn't have to cost $5M.
Migrate to AEM Edge Delivery Services at 70% less cost than traditional AEMaaCS.
The deadline is real. But the path to AEM EDS doesn't require the budget, timeline, or risk of a traditional AEMaaCS migration. Launch Studio automates the hard parts so your team ships faster.
The clock is running. The traditional path doesn't work.
AEM 6.5 core support ends August 2026. Extended support buys time but not a strategy. Every enterprise on 6.5 faces the same forced decision: migrate or lose support, security patches, and Adobe investment.
Traditional migration to AEMaaCS runs $2–5M+ and takes 12–18 months. That assumes you can find the AEM specialists to staff it — and right now, you can't. The talent market is tight and getting tighter as the deadline approaches.
Meanwhile, Adobe is pushing Edge Delivery Services as the future of the platform. AEM EDS is faster, simpler, and built on web standards your team already knows. The question isn't whether to move to EDS — it's how fast you can get there.
Why AEM EDS
A migration path that actually works
Launch Studio maps your existing architecture, generates migration plans, and automates the repetitive work.
Cost
- 70% less than traditional AEMaaCS migration
- No specialized AEM Java developers required
- Fixed-fee scoping — no runaway budgets
- Pilot a single property for $150K–$400K
Speed
- 8–12 week pilot to production
- Automated architecture mapping
- Migration factory model for multi-brand
- Your existing front-end team delivers
Risk Reduction
- AEM EDS runs on HTML, CSS, JS — standards your team already knows
- No OSGi, no dispatcher configs, no Java dependencies
- Start with one brand, prove the model, then scale
- Adobe-backed platform — not a third-party workaround
Your team already has the skills
AEM EDS is built on React, GitHub workflows, vanilla JS and CSS.
The biggest misconception about AEM migration is that you need a team of AEM specialists. Traditional AEMaaCS? Yes — Java, OSGi, dispatcher configs, content fragments. That's a different world from what most front-end teams know.
AEM Edge Delivery Services is different. It's built on web standards. Your developers write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Launch Studio handles the Adobe integration layer — content sources, delivery pipeline, environment configuration.
The result: your existing front-end developers deliver AEM EDS sites without deep platform expertise. No 6-month ramp. No $180K/year specialized hires. The team you have is the team you need.
