The rocket engine accelerating Edge Delivery Services: introducing AEM Document Authoring
Launching a global website powered by AEM Document Authoring for Bimota
We’re excited to share that Cognizant Netcentric, as part of Cognizant Moment, has launched our first client website powered by AEM Document Authoring — Adobe’s newest innovation for content creation on AEM Edge Delivery Services. While it’s currently in early access, DA (short for AEM Document Authoring) is already showing enterprise-grade scalability, speed and polish.
The launch for boutique motorcycle brand Bimota, a part of Kawasaki Motors, highlights Cognizant Netcentric’s leadership within the Adobe partner ecosystem. It not only reinforces our long-standing expertise in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and Edge Delivery Services, but also demonstrates our role as a trusted partner—empowering clients to unlock the full potential of AEM’s latest capabilities through a modern, cloud-native content workflow.
AEM Document Authoring: built for the future of web content
DA is Adobe’s answer to a growing need: how to combine the flexibility of document-based editing with the power and reliability of a CMS — all tailored to the AEM Edge Delivery Services model.
In the past, there was the option between SharePoint leveraging commonly known, easy to use and learn tools or falling back to the full-fledged WYSIWYG Universal Editor running on content hosted in Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS).
While document authoring is great for efficiency it is simply not specialized for typical enterprise CMS workflows. WYSIWYG brought back all those out-of-the-box features and integrations but also the complexity of AEMaaCS.
Crucially, AEM Document Authoring goes a different route and here’s how.
The platform is:
- Purpose-built for AEM Edge Delivery Services (100% native format)
- Cloud-native and scalable with blazing-fast APIs
- Enterprise-ready, with robust features like versioning, localization, and bulk operations
Think of DA as the streamlined control panel for your content — powerful, intuitive, and built from the ground up with marketers and content teams in mind.
Familiar yet powerful: a CMS reimagined
DA brings back a true CMS experience, but one optimized for today’s needs. It blends the efficiency of editing a Word document with smart CMS capabilities blending into your Content Supply Chain:
- Convenience in editing with short cuts and type-aheads
- Templates and block libraries natively built-in
- Instant side-by-side preview of the authoring document and rendered page
- Collaborative editing
- Deep integration with AEMaaCS for assets and taxonomy
This is a leap forward into a space where structured, scalable content can be created as easily as writing a memo.
How DA fits into the ecosystem
While AEM Edge Delivery Services has always supported multiple content sources - like SharePoint, Google Docs or AEMaaCS via Universal Editor - DA introduces a native, Adobe-owned alternative.
It’s a vertically integrated solution — with Adobe-grade UI, identity, and infrastructure — that slots seamlessly into existing AEM Edge Delivery Services setups. And because it's built on the exact same tech stack as AEM Edge Delivery Services itself, it speaks the same language as the frontend framework it is sourcing to.
Why AEM Document Authoring matters— and why now?
At Cognizant Netcentric, we’ve helped leading brands move toward scalable, faster and more flexible content architectures. With bringing our first client site to AEM Document Authoring now– going live in a blazing 3 weeks from the idea to DNS switch. We’re seeing firsthand how this approach dramatically simplifies content workflows, reduces time-to-market, and empowers non-technical teams to take the lead.
