Benefits of switching from Crownpeak DXM to CoreMedia

Crownpeak DXM is no longer actively developed, and customers are now being forced to migrate to FirstSpirit CMS — a completely different CMS that requires a full redevelopment. These migrations are often complex, costly, and developer-heavy, quickly driving up total cost of ownership. 

With CoreMedia, you future-proof your investment and avoid hidden costs. Global enterprises have gone live in under 90 days, thanks to our flexible architecture, proven migration blueprint, and powerful out-of-the-box features like personalization, analytics, and AI. CoreMedia is built to launch fast and scale with you — so you’re never forced into another costly migration again. 

If you’re expected to migrate from Crownpeak DXM to FirstSpirit CMS, don’t expect a leap forward. The platform remains fragmented, hard to integrate with complex enterprise stacks, and lacks growth-critical tools like native performance dashboards, AI, and 1:1 personalization. Its inconsistent roadmap creates risk, slows delivery, and limits innovation. 

CoreMedia delivers future-ready innovation out of the box. Our AI Copilot, CoreMedia KIO, helps teams create, personalize, and deliver content faster — while humans stay in control. With built-in personalization, actionable insights, and an open API framework, you can deliver faster, optimize continuously, and drive measurable growth.

Crownpeak customers often face inconsistent support: management turnover, teams stretched across time zones, and a lack of platform knowledge make it hard to get help when you need it most. 

With CoreMedia, you get direct access to experienced platform experts who understand your goals, your market, and your language. 40% of our team has been with CoreMedia for more than 10 years — giving you continuity and deep product expertise. Our dedicated Customer Success and Services teams are trusted by global enterprises for fast, personal, and reliable support — every step of the way. 

Fast migration from Crownpeak DXM to CoreMedia – in under 90 days

CoreMedia offers a proven, low-risk migration approach, led by experts who ensure a smooth transition with zero disruption and full business continuity. And once you're live, you’re ready to drive impact with integrated AI, personalization, and performance tools from day one.
