Assentis migration
Support for the Assentis Business Communication solution with the DocFamily product suite will end at the beginning of 2026*. Support for the Swiss banking application Avaloq will continue for a little longer. These developments require Assentis customers to make proactive decisions in order to avoid compliance risks and ensure efficient customer communication.

Assentis migration with dydocon
For a successful Assentis migration, dydocon is the partner at your side. With years of experience and a team of over two dozen experienced experts, we focus on customer communication and output management projects. Our consultants have assisted numerous companies with CCM migration projects, including Assentis migrations. We are very familiar with the structure of Assentis document templates and will guide you through the entire migration process:
- The analysis of the Assentis document inventory and Assentis document templates.
- Identification of document logics.
- Define efficient template structures in the target environment.
- Designing a step-by-step migration plan that enables parallel working in the old Assentis environment.
- Implementation of this plan.
Tools for (partially) automated Assentis migration
Efficient integration and migration: dydocon has many years of experience in supporting companies with the migration and integration of CCM systems. Using the innovative software solution from our partner semantics, the existing document inventory can be imported, converted and deployed from there to the target system. This means that a largely automated n:m migration of text systems can be carried out – quickly, efficiently and securely.
This specialized Assentis migration tool helps with the analysis of Assentis document templates and the (partially) automated transfer of Assentis document resources to the target system.
The tool shows in the analysis phase:
- A list of all resources
- Text modules
- Texts
- Variables
- Static and dynamic resources
- Text rules / document logic
- Information on where and how often these resources are used
During the migration phase, you can select which resources are to be included in the migration. For each selected resource, you can specify whether it should be replaced by a new text module, skipped or transferred manually.
For example, we advise against retaining layout resources, as otherwise you would not be able to take advantage of the new CCM system. Instead, we recommend having our experts recreate the layout in the target environment and automatically integrating the content with the Assentis migration tool.
The Assentis migration offers numerous advantages
New functions and options
Modern CCM systems offer completely new and enhanced functions that go beyond the capabilities of older systems. These can include improved analysis, personalization and automation of customer communication.
Future security
An up-to-date CCM system is supported for longer and can help a company prepare for future market changes and technological developments.
Current software support
A new CCM system is actively supported by the respective manufacturer, which ensures regular updates, security patches and technical support.
Better user experience
Modern systems offer a more intuitive user interface and improved tools that increase productivity and user acceptance.
Increased security
An up-to-date system is more secure, as security gaps are closed promptly and it meets the latest security standards.
Better integration
New CCM systems can be better integrated with other business systems and processes.
Scalability
Modern systems are more flexible and can be scaled more easily to meet the growth and changing needs of a business.
Cost efficiency
Although the migration itself incurs costs, the operating costs of a modern system can be lower in the long term due to more efficient processes and lower maintenance costs.
Compliance
As regulations and standards are constantly evolving, an up-to-date CCM system ensures that your company complies with current requirements.
Improved customer satisfaction
Migrating to a modern system can improve the quality and speed of customer communication, which can lead to more satisfied customers.
In summary, migrating to a modern CCM system can offer significant benefits in terms of security, functionality, integration and efficiency. However, it is important to plan the migration process carefully and consider the potential challenges and costs.
