The Frontify integration for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) simplifies your content creation and the publishing workflow by allowing you to access your Frontify brand assets from within all AEM websites.
The Frontify AEM Connector allows you to create meaningful experiences by using Frontify brand assets in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). You can find and integrate your brand assets natively in the AEM authoring environment. Integrated assets are delivered as part of AEM pages and are linked to the Frontify CDN.
