Solutions / Escape CMS & Commerce Lock-In
Escape CMS and Commerce Lock-In
The renewal quote landed and it has another zero. Your content team waits weeks on a release train. Marketing wants to ship in a day; the DXP wants a quarter. We move enterprises off Sitecore, AEM, and Adobe Commerce onto composable stacks (headless CMS, frontend cloud, modern commerce APIs) without the rewrite-everything blast radius leadership keeps vetoing.

How we get you out
Lock-in is rarely one problem. It is a content model entangled with a vendor, an editorial workflow built around a feature set, and an org chart shaped by a renewal cycle. We unbundle all three.
Decouple without a rewrite
We separate the presentation layer first, then unwind content and commerce in slices. Your site goes faster on day one. The monolith keeps running until each surface is ready to leave it. No big-bang cutover, no frozen roadmap for two years.
Migrate content with confidence
Hundreds of authors, thousands of pages, decades of taxonomy. We script the migration, model content for the channels you actually have (web, mobile, email, in-store, partners), and bring editors with us. They land in a workflow that is faster than what they had, not a half-built replacement.
Ship in weeks, not quarters
Composable migrations stall when teams try to pick the perfect stack in a vacuum. We bring a reference architecture (Sanity, Contentful, Vercel, Shopify, Next.js) and the patterns to extend it. First production surface lives within the first quarter; the rest follows on a cadence your CFO can plan around.

Headless Website Migration & Launch in 7 Weeks
Within 7 weeks, we migrated and launched a US-based trading firm's website on Stackbit and Next.js. Without disrupting content production, we migrated over 500 pages, modernized the tech stack, and empowered content authors with a user-friendly authoring experience. The result was a fast, new site with a load speed of under one second.

Lock-in escape sits next to a few other buyer problems we solve. They overlap, but the entry points are different.
Coming off legacy on-prem (mainframe, custom .NET monoliths, decade-old Drupal) rather than a SaaS DXP renewal? That is a different shape of problem. See Modernize Your Stack for the legacy-modernization angle, where the constraint is your own historical code, not a vendor's contract.
Migration is also a brand-system moment. If you are running 5, 50, or 500 brands on the platform you are leaving, the design system you build on the way out is what makes the new stack pay off. See Scale Your Design.
If the renewal conversation is really about who owns the data, the orchestration, and the audit surface (not just which CMS comes next), the question is sovereignty. See Achieve Sovereign Architecture.
Once you're off the monolith, the next constraint is shipping features on the new stack without rebuilding the team that built it. See Agentic Product Evolution for the retainer-priced loop that takes over after the migration lands.
