AOE Delivery of the Experience Modernization Agent aoe-delivery
Learn about Adobe Agentic Outcome Engineers (AOEs) and how they can help you succeed with the Experience Modernization Agent.
The Agentic Outcome Engineer (AOE) aoe
AOEs are Adobe engineers who operate the Experience Modernization Agent on your behalf. They work at the intersection of product, engineering, and delivery to:
- Translate AI-assisted automation into production-ready customer outcomes.
- Bridge the talent and execution gap in emerging tech adoption.
- Provide high-bandwidth feedback loops between customers, engineering, and go-to-market teams.
AOE-Led Delivery aoe-led
According to McKinsey and IDC, migration cost is the top reason enterprises cite for not adopting cloud platforms. Site migrations can be complex with significant variability. Despite available tools, partner costs continue to rise. Because of this, many organizations remain stranded on legacy systems.
AI-assisted AOE delivery offers an opportunity to cross this adoption gap by:
- Providing a strategic reset: AOE-led projects offers a faster, lower-risk path forward for stalled implementations or legacy modernization.
- Reducing risk: Adobe shares responsibility for migration outcomes.
- Ensuring quality: AOEs bring expertise in Edge Delivery Services architecture, migration patterns, and best practices.
- Applying governance: Enterprise compliance requirements are addressed throughout the migration.
- Transferring knowledge: You learn Edge Delivery Services development patterns through hands-on collaboration.
Engagement Process engagement-process
AOE engagement is a structured process.
1. Scoping scoping
You contact your Adobe account team with your migration requirements and scope. The AOE team analyzes your source sites and generates effort estimates, typically within one week.
- Inputs: Source URL(s), CMS platform, content volume, design requirements, timeline, authoring preferences
- Outputs: Eligibility confirmation, effort estimate, migration approach, engagement structure
2. Planning planning
A kickoff meeting is held, along with a source site analysis, content audit, design alignment, component library review, and authoring tool selection.
- You provide all necessary assets and guidelines.
- Adobe creates a detailed migration plan with timeline and roles.
3. Execution execution
- AOE activities: Operate the Experience Modernization Console, review AI outputs, apply brand guidelines, refine as needed
- Your activities: Review deliverables, validate content and designs, test authoring
Checkpoints are implemented to ensure content accuracy, including component mapping, design review, authoring workflow, and pre-launch validation.
4. Handoff handoff
- Deliverables: Production-ready website code, migrated content, documentation, performance and accessibility reports
- Activities: Knowledge transfer, authoring training, developer onboarding
5. Post-Migration post-migration
Once the handoff is complete, enjoy the benefits of your Edge Delivery Services project! If you have any questions, you can contact Adobe Enterprise Support.
AOE Delivery Scope scope
AOE delivery provides a clearly-defined scope that you can rely on. This scope includes both automated skill capabilities and manual AOE work to fill gaps, ensuring complete, production-ready migrations.
Source Platforms source-platforms
Any CMS platform such as WordPress, Drupal, Sitecore, legacy AEM, SharePoint, or custom solutions can serve as a source. Source content must be publicly accessible over the internet as static HTML. Intranet sites, password-protected content, and VPN-only systems are not accessible.
Included in AOE Scope included
Target Platform target-platform
- Edge Delivery Services: All migrations target Edge Delivery Services, Adobe’s high-performance web delivery platform.
- All authoring options: Both Document Authoring and Universal Editor (visual editing) can be targeted in Edge Delivery Services. AOEs configure the appropriate authoring experience based on your needs.
Migration Work Performed migration-work
- Any migration approach: Lift-and-shift, redesign, or incremental phased migrations
- Static content import: Automated extraction of static HTML content from source websites and intelligent mapping to EDS content blocks
- Design system: Extraction of brand tokens (colors, typography, spacing) and application to the new site
- Practical design fidelity: Visual fidelity to source or provided designs (Figma, Sketch) that captures brand intent without strict pixel-perfect reproduction
- Responsive design: Mobile and desktop layouts handled appropriately
Resulting System resulting-system
The resulting system is based on Edge Delivery Sites which consistently achieve near-perfect Google Lighthouse scores (~100/100):
- Performance: Sub-second page loads via edge-first architecture
- SEO: Clean HTML structure optimized for search engine ranking
- Accessibility: Built-in compliance with accessibility standards
