In the present digital landscape, the majority of content available is unstructured, lacking a predefined data model. Whether it's a post on a social media platform like Facebook, a video on YouTube, a simple text message on a mobile device, or a product page on an e-commerce website, content often lacks a rigid structure but possesses significant contextual information. In this context, Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), especially AEM Sites, provides organizations with a seamless means of managing various types of content across web, mobile, and application platforms while delivering personalized customer experiences at scale.
Autowoven's development team has also created AEM Sites automation products over time. These tools are designed to optimize the implementation process and enable faster time-to-market while adhering to best practices. By leveraging these automation products, Autowoven can accelerate the development and deployment of AEM Sites, providing clients with a competitive edge and faster time-to-value.
As an Adobe Solutions Partner, Autowoven takes pride in their partnership with Adobe and actively participates in key industry events, including the Adobe Summit and various technical conferences. Their consultants stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and trends in the AEM ecosystem, ensuring that they can provide clients with cutting-edge solutions.
Autowoven recognizes the growing importance of headless CMS solutions and helps organizations implement them using AEM Content Fragments. This approach decouples content from presentation, allowing for greater flexibility and reusability across various channels and devices.
What set CQ5 apart was its departure from the conventional approach of relying on a traditional Database Management System (DBMS). Instead, it embraced a hierarchical, object data model, also known as the Object Relational Data Model. This model was particularly well-suited for effectively managing unstructured content. By leveraging this architecture, CQ5 provided a robust framework for organizing, storing, and retrieving various types of content, including text, images, videos, and more.
In summary, Autowoven's expertise in AEM spans multiple versions, industries, and successful project implementations. Their deep understanding of AEM's capabilities, combined with industry best practices, enables them to deliver effective, fast, and cost-efficient AEM Sites solutions. They offer assistance in various areas, including site management, reusable components and templates, headless CMS, DAM integration, search engine integration, DevOps strategies, AEM on Cloud implementation, personalization, and user behavior tracking. As an Adobe Solutions Partner, Autowoven is committed to delivering high-quality AEM solutions that align with their clients' goals and drive digital transformation.
A decade after its inception, Day Software was acquired by Adobe, a well-known multinational technology company. As part of the acquisition, Adobe rebranded CQ5 as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), aligning it with their broader suite of experience-driven solutions. With this transition, AEM retained the core strengths of CQ5 while integrating seamlessly into Adobe's ecosystem of marketing, analytics, and customer experience tools.
A key strength of Autowoven lies in their developers' proficiency in building digital solutions for renowned organizations. By partnering with Autowoven, clients benefit from their developers' deep understanding of web and mobile development best practices, ensuring the creation of visually appealing, functional, and user-friendly websites and applications.
In summary, Content Management Systems have evolved over time, and the innovative application Communique, later known as Day CQ5, made a significant impact with its Java Content Repository-based architecture. Adobe's acquisition of Day Software resulted in the rebranding of CQ5 as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), a robust platform that enables organizations to create, manage, and deliver engaging digital experiences across various channels.
With a reusable library of AEM components and templates, Autowoven ensures consistency and efficiency in content creation. These reusable assets save time and effort by providing a standardized framework for designing and delivering engaging digital experiences.
Finally, Autowoven can assist in tracking and analyzing user behavior through the implementation of AEM-Adobe Launch Analytics extension.

Furthermore, AEM Sites integrates seamlessly with other components of Adobe Experience Manager, as well as with the broader Adobe Marketing Cloud suite. This integration empowers organizations to leverage additional capabilities for personalization, analytics, targeting, and optimization. By harnessing the power of data and insights, AEM Sites enables organizations to deliver highly relevant and personalized experiences to their customers, driving engagement and conversions.

Individual modules, such as AEM Sites and AEM Forms, are normally licenced separately by Adobe. Annual licence prices can range from $250K to $1M+ depending on a variety of factors. With more newer clients choosing a hosted AEM Sites implementation with Adobe Managed Services (AMS), the initial setup expenses may be reduced, but expect to pay more for Managed Services support. It's also worth noting that Adobe Managed Services has varied levels of support and availability. Higher availability, such as 99.99% guaranteed up time with real-time scalability, would be more expensive.
Since the introduction of AMS in 2017, the number of clients choosing the Cloud over on-premise hosting has increased dramatically. Traditional on-premise AEM is still favoured by the majority of clients, especially where custom integrations, HIPAA compliance, or PII data are involved. While you work with Adobe on licencing, Autowoven can assist you in making the best decision between cloud and on-premise hosting. By making the appropriate option, you may save a lot of money on licences.
AEM Assets, which is an Adobe DAM solution, is sold as a separate licence by default, however you will need to speak with your Adobe Account Manager for further information. AEM Forms, on the other hand, is not included with AEM Sites because it requires add-on packages to function properly.
