Migrate from AEM to Drupal seamlessly.
Expert AEM to Drupal migration services — content model transformation, Java to PHP architecture shift, and seamless digital experience platform transitions. Eliminate massive AEM licensing fees while maintaining enterprise-grade security and scalability.
Enterprise migration specialists.
Data mapping, SEO preservation, robust engineering.
JCR to Entity Mapping
We expertly map AEM's Java Content Repository (JCR) structures and complex component models to Drupal's entity and paragraph architecture, ensuring a clean, logical content foundation.
SEO & URL Preservation
Our migration methodology includes comprehensive URL auditing, canonical tag mapping, and XML sitemap rebuilding — ensuring stable or improved search rankings post-migration.
Infrastructure Optimization
Move away from complex AEM dispatcher configurations and expensive managed services to modern, scalable Drupal hosting environments with significantly lower overhead.
Government & Public Sector
Agencies migrating from AEM to Drupal to meet open-source mandates, improve accessibility, and eliminate high vendor lock-in costs.
Healthcare Systems
Healthcare organizations moving to Drupal for secure, compliant content workflows and integration capabilities without AEM's premium pricing.
Higher Education
Universities migrating from AEM to Drupal for flexible multi-site management, academic department autonomy, and robust integrations.
Financial Services
Banks and financial institutions transitioning to Drupal for secure, role-based access control and modern API capabilities.
Five stages, paired end-to-end.
Predictable delivery. No black-box sprints.
Audit
Comprehensive AEM content inventory — mapping JCR nodes, digital assets, templates, and integrations. We assess content health and define the migration scope.
Map
Translate AEM architecture to Drupal equivalents — templates become content types, components become paragraphs, and URL structures are preserved with precise redirect rules.
Build
Construct the Drupal destination environment — custom theme development, entity configuration, taxonomy setup, and editorial workflow design.
Migrate
Execute automated content migration using custom scripts — transferring pages, assets, metadata, and user accounts in staged batches with validation checkpoints.
Launch
Production cutover with seamless continuity — DNS switchover, redirect activation, search engine re-indexing, and a dedicated hypercare support period.
Six places it pays back in the first sprint.
Real outcomes our clients report within the first engagement cycle.
Faster time-to-market
Production-ready teams that ship from week one — no ramp-up lag.
Reduced technical risk
Architecture reviews, code audits, and security scans baked into every sprint.
Measurable velocity
Cycle time, PR throughput, and defect density tracked from day one.
Cost predictability
Fixed-price or capped T&M — no surprise invoices, ever.
Continuous improvement
Retros, post-mortems, and process refinement every sprint.
Knowledge transfer
Your team grows. Documentation, pair programming, and workshops included.
Tools our aem to drupal migration developers ship with.
We use what works. No vendor lock-in.
Three ways to work with our AEM to Drupal Migration team.
Scale up, scale down — zero procurement headaches.
Fixed-scope project
Start-to-finish delivery with total cost, timeline, and scope agreed upfront. Best for well-defined builds and launches.
Dedicated team
A ring-fenced squad — PM, tech lead, engineers, QA — fully managed by us, embedded in your workflow.
Staff augmentation
Plug senior engineers into your existing team and tools. You manage priorities, we deliver results.
Asked first, every time.
Due to the complexity of AEM component models, a typical migration takes 4 to 8 months. This depends on content volume, custom Java components, and the number of integrations involved.
Not if executed correctly. We implement comprehensive 301 redirects, map canonical tags, and monitor search performance closely to ensure stable or improved traffic post-migration.
Drupal's core Media module, combined with enterprise DAM integrations (like Acquia DAM or Bynder), provides robust asset management that rivals AEM Assets, often with a more intuitive interface.
The primary drivers are cost and agility. AEM has massive licensing and hosting fees, and requires specialized Java developers. Drupal offers zero licensing fees, a massive PHP developer pool, and modern API-first flexibility.
