Why Manufacturers & Distributors Are
Making the Shift

Many commerce teams operating on Adobe Commerce PaaS environments are facing growing operational and strategic challenges:

Increasingly complex upgrade and maintenance cycles

Resource-intensive DevOps and infrastructure management

Rising hosting and operational costs

Slower implementation and innovation timelines

Growing pressure to deliver faster, more personalized customer experiences

LOREM IPSUM

Why staying on-premises is a growing liability

Migrating from legacy Adobe Commerce solutions to Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service (ACCS) gives organizations the opportunity to reduce operational complexity, improve scalability, and accelerate innovation with a more modern, composable commerce architecture.

Challenge Business impact Benefit of upgrading to ACCS
Slow to innovate
Lengthy release cycles and testing requirements delay new feature rollouts
Impact
Slower time to market while competitors ship and go live faster
More agility to launch new digital experiences faster
Greater flexibility for complex B2B workflows and pricing models
Operational burden
Manual patching required — EOL Aug 2026 (2.4.6) and Apr 2027 (2.4.7)
Impact
IT teams stuck maintaining infrastructure instead of driving growth
Automatic security updates — no more manual patching
Reduced operational burden on IT and digital teams
Scalability risks
Manual scaling and performance tuning create vulnerability during peak demand
Impact
High revenue risk during peak seasons like Black Friday
Faster storefront performance for large product catalogs
Built-in scalability for peak traffic and demand spikes
