What the audit includes
The same pipeline we use for migrations, run on your estate
Deterministic tools do most of the work; AI models on servers we operate help with triage and test plans; engineers review the result.
Code scan
Every module of your repository checked against our Cloud Service rules, with file, line, the fix and how automatable each finding is.
BPA report triage
Your Best Practices Analyzer findings sorted into lanes: what our codemods fix, what needs an engineer, and what needs a decision from your team.
Deprecated and removed APIs
Each use of an API that AEM as a Cloud Service removed or deprecated, with where it is and what replaces it.
Codemod preview
A preview of the safe automatic changes our deterministic codemods would make to your code. Nothing is written to your repository.
Test plan per template
QA checks for each page template, so your team knows what to test after the move.
Blueprint with effort ranges
A component-by-component plan: blockers, effort ranges, risks, the decisions your team must make, and a phase and cutover plan.
Example on open-source code: on ACS AEM Commons 3.19, our deterministic codemods produced 175 safe changes plus 2 items for review, and the Sling XSS and Granite workflow codemods produced 4 and 50 changes. Your numbers depend on your code.
What we need from you
Four things, collected at kickoff
How we handle your code is described on our security page. In short: client code and configuration are processed only by AI models on servers we operate, and are not sent to external AI services unless you agree in writing.
- Your BPA report. The results.csv exported from Adobe's Best Practices Analyzer on your AEM 6.5 author instance.
- Your code. Read access to the repository, or a zip of it (core, ui.apps, ui.config, dispatcher).
- A short questionnaire. Sites, environments, integrations and your deadline.
- A 30-minute kickoff. With someone who knows the estate, to confirm scope and dates.

Questions
Readiness audit FAQ
Who is the audit for?
Teams running AEM 6.5 (on-premise or Adobe Managed Services) who need a written, defensible plan for moving to AEM as a Cloud Service: what blocks it, how much work it is and in what order to do it.
What happens after the audit?
You keep the report and the Blueprint and can run the migration with your own team, another partner or us. There is no obligation to buy anything else.
Can I get a refund?
If you cancel before kickoff, the 50% advance is refunded in full. After kickoff the advance is non-refundable, unless we miss the 10-business-day report date, in which case you may cancel and get the advance back. Refund policy →
