Swissgrid’s Migration to AEM Cloud Achieved in Record Time

Swissgrid, the backbone of the electricity supply in Switzerland 

Swissgrid was founded in 2006 in response to the gradual liberalization of the Swiss electricity market. 

Cost-Effective Transition to AEM Cloud Service

Swissgrid’s migration to AEM Cloud Service was primarily economically motivated.  

The existing AEM on-premise system was functional, but the financial benefits of cloud migration were compelling. A shift to AEM Cloud Service promised significant cost reductions by eliminating hosting fees and lowering license costs. 

The decision to migrate was also strategic, with an understanding that an earlier transition to cloud services would yield greater cost efficiencies over time. 

The tender process reflected Swissgrid’s need for a partner capable of comprehensively managing their AEM website, smoothly migrating it to the cloud, and providing ongoing support post-migration. 

This requirement underlined the importance of selecting a partner with proven versatility and a track record of support before, during, and after such transitions. 

Streamlined AEM Cloud Migration

Our team delivered a migration strategy that was both cost-effective and time-efficient. Completing the migration within an ambitious four-month period, we ensured Swissgrid could quickly tap into the AEM Cloud Service extensively. 

The migration plan was meticulously crafted to minimize disruptions and maximize efficiency. By moving to the AEM Cloud Service, Swissgrid was positioned to enjoy reduced costs and enhanced security, with the latest protections automatically implemented.  

Additionally, this transition facilitated shorter release cycles and ensured that Swissgrid’s AEM environment remained up-to-date with the latest versions. 

Since their website is migrated to AEM Cloud, Swissgrid has seen smooth operations with only minor adjustments and a handful of new requests, indicating a successful cloud solution adoption.  

There have been no significant setbacks, demonstrating the robustness of the migration plan and the resilience of the cloud solution we’ve implemented. 

This successful migration is a testament to our team’s expertise and Swissgrid’s forward-thinking approach to digital experience projects.
