Overview
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is the enterprise content management backbone for some of the world's largest brands. As part of Adobe Experience Cloud, AEM provides a powerful suite of tools for web content management (AEM Sites), digital asset management (AEM Assets), forms, and screens all unified under a single platform. With Adobe's accelerating shift toward AEM as a Cloud Service, organizations face both tremendous opportunity and significant complexity. Nextbrick's AEM consultants help enterprises design, implement, and optimize AEM deployments that deliver exceptional digital experiences while maximizing the return on your Adobe investment.
Our team works across the full AEM lifecycle. We architect multi-site, multi-language AEM Sites implementations with clean component libraries and intuitive authoring experiences. We configure AEM Assets with metadata schemas, processing profiles, and Dynamic Media delivery. We plan and execute migrations from AEM 6.x on-premise to AEM as a Cloud Service, and we integrate AEM with the broader Adobe stack including Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, Adobe Campaign, and Adobe Commerce as well as third-party systems like Salesforce, Marketo, and custom APIs.
What We Offer
- AEM Sites implementation covering component development, template design, editable templates, content fragment modeling, experience fragments, multi-site manager (MSM), and language copy workflows
- AEM Assets and Dynamic Media including DAM architecture, metadata taxonomy design, asset processing profiles, smart tagging, Dynamic Media configuration, and CDN-optimized delivery
- AEM as a Cloud Service migration from AEM 6.4/6.5 on-premise or Managed Services to Cloud Service, covering code refactoring, dispatcher configuration, content migration with the Content Transfer Tool, and CI/CD pipeline setup with Cloud Manager

- Adobe Experience Cloud integration connecting AEM with Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, Adobe Campaign, Adobe Commerce (Magento), and Adobe Journey Optimizer for unified customer experience orchestration
- Third-party integrations connecting AEM with PIM systems, CRM platforms, marketing automation tools, translation services, and headless frontend frameworks through content services and RESTful APIs
- Headless AEM leveraging content fragments, content fragment models, and the GraphQL API to deliver AEM content to SPAs, mobile apps, IoT devices, and digital signage
- Performance and security including dispatcher caching strategies, CDN configuration, Sling performance tuning, security hardening, and compliance with accessibility standards (WCAG)
Migrating to AEM as a Cloud Service
Adobe is investing heavily in AEM as a Cloud Service, and the benefits are compelling: automatic scaling, continuous updates, improved performance, and reduced operational burden. However, migrating from on-premise AEM requires careful planning. Nextbrick's migration methodology includes a comprehensive code audit against Cloud Service compatibility, refactoring of custom OSGi configurations and workflows, dispatcher rule migration, content migration using the Content Transfer Tool, and thorough validation in staging environments.
We manage the entire migration lifecycle, from initial assessment and effort estimation through parallel running and cutover. Our goal is zero disruption to your content authors and end users while positioning your organization to take full advantage of Cloud Service innovations like rapid development environments, edge delivery services, and AI-powered content intelligence.
Empowering Content Authors
A powerful CMS is only valuable if content authors can use it efficiently. Nextbrick designs AEM authoring experiences that balance flexibility with guardrails. We build reusable component libraries with style systems that let authors change layout and visual treatment without developer intervention. We configure content policies that enforce brand consistency. And we design authoring workflows with approval stages, scheduled publishing, and A/B testing integration through Adobe Target so marketing teams can move at the speed of their campaigns.
Our consultants also train content teams on AEM best practices, ensuring your organization gets lasting value from the platform well beyond the initial implementation.
