Enterprise-Grade AEM Revitalization
Modernizing the Digital Infrastructure for the Largest Energy Provider in Texas
About Project
The energy delivery company serves over 144,000 communities with a massive workforce to keep Texas connected. Despite their extensive physical footprint, their existing AEM platform required a revitalization to meet modern usability standards and evolving business goals. To address this, we re-architected the site using AEM, Java, and modern web technologies, introducing a fresh visual identity and intuitive navigation. This hub now provides seamless access to critical services, including real-time outage reporting and essential safety resources for millions of users.

Business Goal
The vision was to create a scalable, maintainable, and “author-first” digital environment. The client aimed to deliver a modern, accessible experience for end-users while drastically reducing internal dependency on technical teams for routine updates. The goal was to build a future-ready platform where content authors could manage complex layouts and dynamic components with ease. By streamlining navigation and enhancing content presentation, we ensured the website functions as a reliable, high-performance bridge between the provider and its diverse customer base.

Key Challenges
Module Dependency Risks
The platform’s interconnected architecture meant that enhancements to specific modules risked causing regression issues or design inconsistencies across other critical internal components.
Form Validation Friction
A lack of UI-level validation led to data integrity issues, while the use of identical Form APIs across environments required risky manual URL configurations during deployment.
Component Flexibility Constraints
Reliance on generic, out-of-the-box components limited design versatility and forced content authors to manage multiple fragmented elements for even minor content variations.
Fragmented Script Management
External scripts were scattered across various configurations and environments without a central repository, making security reviews, troubleshooting, and maintenance highly inefficient.
Our Solutions
Isolated Modular Refactoring
To prevent cross-module interference, we restructured the codebase by isolating specific logic and refactoring shared dependencies. By introducing well-defined interfaces and improving dependency management, we ensured that enhancements to the primary module were delivered seamlessly. This approach successfully improved overall maintainability and scalability without affecting the existing design or behavior of other platform modules.
Automated Validation Logic
We implemented comprehensive UI validations for all critical form fields, including format checks and input constraints, to significantly reduce invalid submissions. To eliminate deployment errors, we introduced environment-specific API management that automatically switches base URLs between production and non-production tiers. This resulted in a more stable, scalable form system that improved both developer efficiency and the end-user submission experience.
Custom Component Library
We designed and developed a library of custom, reusable components tailored to specific business requirements. These high-performance components were built to be highly configurable, helping authors manage multiple use cases from a single interface rather than relying on disconnected generic elements. This simplified the authoring process, ensured visual consistency, and drastically reduced the time required to manage design variations across the site.
Centralized Script Governance
A thorough audit was conducted to identify and isolate all external script injection points, which were then migrated into the official project repository under strict version control. By establishing clear naming conventions and documentation, we improved code transparency and simplified the debugging process. This centralized governance model strengthened security oversight and significantly reduced future maintenance efforts by making all injected logic clearly visible.
Our Approach
Our methodology focused on re-engineering the digital experience to balance high-performance delivery with an intuitive, author-centric management system.
