What’s the business pain point we address for existing Adobe AEM customers?

Companies that have made the financial commitment to implementing Adobe AEM as its publishing tool find themselves with a behemoth platform that is rigid and developer-dependent. AEM customers have invested millions and, now, countless IT professionals spend portions of their day trying to support content teams who have changing requirements or new publishing priorities. Unfortunately, neither the IT nor the content teams are fully satisfied with the pace or performance of this large investment.

The good news is, there are plenty of opportunities to optimize your AEM functionality by leveraging Brightspot CMS, our powerful, integration-ready publishing solution.
