A shift to scalable

Axpo Group, Switzerland’s largest energy producer, futureproofed their digital foundation by moving to Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service at a pivotal moment. The migration marked a strategic reset and unlocked new opportunities for innovation. In partnership with Valtech, Axpo transformed digital into a resilient, growth-ready platform. 

Axpo’s platform was forcing a strategic decision about the organization's digital future. 

Their legacy Adobe Experience Manager environment required optimization for stability during maintenance and peak traffic. Engineering effort was consumed by service packs, patches and infrastructure management. 

At the same time, Adobe’s ecosystem was rapidly evolving toward cloud-native services, AI capabilities and continuous delivery. Advancing the platform would accelerate performance, security resilience and roadmap alignment 

For an enterprise that operates in more than 30 countries, digital resilience and scalability are not optional. Axpo needed a platform built for the future, not one tied to legacy constraints. 

Valtech delivered a structured migration to Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service within an ambitious three-month timeline, achieving technical go-live in just two months. 

We began with a detailed Best Practice Analyzer assessment and provisioned development, staging and production cloud environments. Code, infrastructure and content were migrated to Adobe’s cloud-native architecture, followed by rigorous QA, load testing, automated visual regression testing across 90 pages and independent penetration testing. 

Beyond scope, we implemented reusable regression test sets and automation tooling to support future releases. 

The new platform includes Adobe Experience Manager Sites and Assets on cloud, Dynamic Media with AI-powered tagging, Edge Delivery Services for high-speed campaign experiences and automatic core component upgrades. Adobe-managed infrastructure now delivers built-in autoscaling, zero-downtime deployments and compliance with ISO and SOC standards. 

An international delivery model supported a Switzerland-based core team with deep account knowledge to scale efficiently without compromising quality. 

The migration removed structural constraints that had slowed digital progress. 

Axpo now operates on a resilient autoscaling cloud platform. Engineering teams are no longer tied to patching cycles and infrastructure management, freeing capacity to focus on personalization, analytics, new digital services and faster campaign launches. 

This transformation repositioned digital in Axpo from cost center to growth enabler. 

Valtech has partnered with Axpo for more than six years, combining deep institutional knowledge with the scale and expertise of our global delivery network.  

Our hybrid delivery model ensures close proximity to Axpo through Switzerland-based consultants while seamlessly scaling with nearshore and offshore teams to deliver speed without compromising quality. This harmonizes with Axpo’s own internal delivery models. 

As an Adobe Platinum Solution Partner, we bring leading expertise in secure modernization, enabling AI-driven capabilities and accelerating digital transformation to drive sustained business value.

With the cloud foundation in place, Axpo can now prioritize innovation over infrastructure. The roadmap includes optimization of customer journeys, expanded use of dynamic media and AI capabilities, and accelerated rollout of new features and campaigns. 

The migration marks the latest chapter in a long-term partnership focused on building a scalable and sustainable digital ecosystem.
