After years of working with enterprise Adobe Experience Manager teams, we’ve seen a consistent truth: AEM doesn’t slow organizations down, fragmented processes do. Creative teams want FLEXIBILITY. Compliance teams need ACCURACY. Marketing needs SPEED. And authors need CLARITY. When those needs compete instead of connect, AEM becomes heavy. When they’re aligned, AEM becomes one of the most powerful tools in the stack. At Judge Consulting Group, we’ve spent years helping teams untangle what happens around AEM, the workflows, handoffs, approvals, components, and roles that shape the day-to-day authoring experience. The story is always the same: When teams finally see how their processes impact each other, bottlenecks disappear, quality improves, and content moves the way it was meant to. That’s what scalable AEM looks like. https://shorturl.at/yufVp #AEM #ContentManagement #DigitalExperience #JudgeConsultingGroup

Scalability in Adobe Experience Manager doesn’t start with technology — it starts with governance. Without clear standards for content, components, and workflows, even the best AEM implementation can slow teams down instead of speeding them up. A strong governance framework defines how content is created, reviewed, and deployed, ensuring consistency, compliance, and brand control at every step. The result: faster publishing, fewer errors, and a digital foundation that scales with your business. https://lnkd.in/ebtwxNSm #JudgeConsulting #AEM #AdobeExperienceManager #DigitalExperience #ContentGovernance #DigitalTransformation

15 years of AEM — a story that shaped how we build digital experiences. Fifteen years ago, Adobe acquired Day CQ — a decision that quietly transformed the digital landscape. Since then, Adobe Experience Manager has evolved from a pioneering CMS into a global platform defining how brands create, manage, and deliver content. This product changed the way teams think about experience — and thanks to strong competition, it never stopped moving forward, refining itself and setting new standards for the entire industry. Through all the versions and transformations, AEM has remained at the top — not by chance, but by constant reinvention. Our first CQ project — Madison Square Garden — marked the beginning of that journey. Fifteen years later, AEM continues to inspire, challenge, and connect everyone who builds on it. #AEM #AdobeExperienceManager #DigitalExperience #Adobe #Axamit #Transformation #DXP

The correct way to learn Adobe Experience Manager So, I guess you’d agree that Adobe Experience Manager isn’t the simplest or most straightforward technology to learn - especially if you’re new to it. It’s quite a niche platform that uses a specialized technology stack, and many of its core concepts differ from what most back-end developers are used to. For example: • Instead of relational or non-relational databases, AEM relies on a hierarchical content repository - a completely different way of organizing and accessing data. • It also uses Apache Sling to handle resource resolution - a concept that can feel tricky at first. • And so on. And, as you may or may not know, I’ve recently created a course about Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), where I cover 24 topics logically and sequentially structured to make learning these fundamental AEM concepts easy and straightforward, even if you’re learning AEM completely from scratch. (Yep, a small advertisement for my course: https://lnkd.in/dSyb7SGF) But once you’ve learned these topics, you might wonder what to learn next after completing the course. And, in this post, I want to address that. So, here’s what I recommend once you’re comfortable with the basics: 1. Read the official documentation - yes, a pretty boring piece of advice, but it works. Start with the documentation for Adobe Experience Manager, Apache Sling, and Apache Jackrabbit. Though it’s not always well-organized and can sometimes be outdated or scattered, it’s still the main source available for diving deeper into these technologies. 2. Study real code examples - as for practical knowledge, I highly recommend exploring the source code of the WCM Core Components. While the code doesn’t always reflect best practices, it still contains many valuable examples and insights into how AEM is structured and used in real projects. 3. Another useful repository is aem-guides-wknd, which demonstrates real-world approaches and practical patterns. 4. Learn from open-source - you can also explore the source code of ACS AEM Commons, ACS AEM Tools, and ACS AEM Samples. Although much of it is quite complex and some parts are deprecated, you can still find useful ideas and learn something new there. 5. In addition, you might want to take a look at the WCM.IO repositories on GitHub, there are plenty of interesting projects and additional tools for AEM development. Learning AEM is quite a journey. But once you have strong fundamentals (which I cover in my course), exploring advanced topics becomes much easier - and the more you dive into its internals, the more the pieces start to make sense. #AEM #AEMaaCS #AdobeExperienceManager #Adobe_Experience_Manager

After working on multiple large-scale AEM implementations over 7+ years, one thing has stayed constant reusability = scalability. In my early AEM projects, we built components fast to meet deadlines but over time, I realized that truly scalable AEM ecosystems depend on component reusability, not just functionality. Here’s what I’ve learned from building 400+ components across industries: 🔹 Modular Design: Every component should serve one clear purpose no hidden dependencies. 🔹 Sling Models over JSPs: Clean separation between logic and presentation keeps code maintainable. 🔹 Core Components First: Extend instead of reinventing. Adobe’s Core Components cover 70% of business needs    when configured right. 🔹 Editable Templates + MSM: Empower authors to scale content globally without developer intervention. 🔹 Dispatcher Caching & ClientLibs Optimization: Performance is part of reusability. If it’s slow, authors won’t reuse it. The result? ✅ 45% faster authoring ✅ Fewer defects during deployments ✅ Happier business users who can launch content on their own Reusability isn’t just a coding principle it’s a mindset that turns AEM into a long-term digital asset, not just a CMS.
