Nearshore talent
Nearshore Adobe Experience Manager team from Costa Rica.
A nearshore Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) team is a group of AEM specialists in a nearby country who join your platform work in your own working hours. IDEACTIVO, an Adobe Solution Partner with Adobe Certified Experts, provides AEM architects, developers, DevOps, QA, UX/UI and creative profiles from Costa Rica, in US time zones.
Built for AEM as a Cloud Service
Our team works on the current Adobe stack, from the authoring environment to the edge.
- AEM as a Cloud Service: development, upgrades and operation of AEM Sites and AEM Assets on Adobe's cloud.
- Cloud Manager: CI/CD pipelines, code quality gates, environments and deployments to stage and production.
- Edge Delivery Services: fast, document-based or Universal Editor authoring, with pages served from the edge.
- Components and templates: reusable components, content fragments and experience fragments that authors can use without developers.
- Adobe Analytics and integrations: tagging, data layers and connections with the rest of Adobe Experience Cloud and your stack.
AEM profiles you can add to your team
Add one specialist or a complete squad, depending on where your platform needs help.
- Creative: art direction, visual design and asset production for AEM Sites and AEM Assets.
- UX/UI: flows, interfaces and design systems that map to AEM components.
- Front-end developers: accessible, fast components, client libraries and Edge Delivery blocks.
- Back-end developers: Java, OSGi services, Sling models, workflows and integrations.
- AEM architects: content architecture, multisite and multiregion strategy, and technical direction.
- DevOps: Cloud Manager pipelines, environments, CDN configuration and release management.
- QA with automation: automated testing that also checks SEO, AEO and accessibility on every release.
QA with automation
Quality that covers search, AI and accessibility
On large AEM platforms, a single component change can affect thousands of pages. Our QA automation catches it before it reaches production.
- Functional and regression testing: automated test suites for components, templates and critical user journeys.
- SEO: titles, metadata, canonicals, hreflang, structured data and broken links checked automatically.
- AEO and agentic browsing: we check that answer engines and AI agents can read, understand and navigate your pages.
- Accessibility (a11y) and ADA compliance: automated and manual checks against WCAG, the standard behind ADA compliance.
- Performance: Core Web Vitals monitored so new releases don't slow the site down.
Adobe Solution Partner with certified experts
We are an Adobe partner with Adobe Certified Experts in AEM Sites, at both the Business Practitioner and Developer levels.

Nearshore AEM team FAQ
What does a nearshore AEM team do?
A nearshore AEM team builds, maintains and improves Adobe Experience Manager platforms from a nearby country, in the same working hours as your team. IDEACTIVO's AEM team from Costa Rica covers architecture, front-end and back-end development, DevOps with Cloud Manager, QA with automation, UX/UI and creative work for AEM Sites and AEM Assets.
Do you work with AEM as a Cloud Service and Edge Delivery Services?
Yes. IDEACTIVO works with AEM as a Cloud Service, including Cloud Manager pipelines and environments, and with Edge Delivery Services for fast pages served from the edge. We also support teams moving from AEM 6.5 or Adobe Managed Services to the cloud, and teams that combine both delivery models.
How is this different from your Adobe Experience Manager services?
Our Adobe Experience Manager services cover implementing and optimizing the whole platform as a project. The nearshore AEM team is for companies that already have a platform and a team, and need specific AEM profiles to join them, such as an architect, developers, DevOps or QA, working under their direction.
What does QA with automation check on an AEM site?
IDEACTIVO's QA with automation runs functional and regression tests on AEM components and templates, and also checks SEO, answer engine optimization (AEO), how AI agents navigate the site, accessibility against WCAG for ADA compliance, and Core Web Vitals. Problems are caught on every release, before they reach thousands of pages.
