Ivanti DSM migration to aagon acmp
Ivanti DSM will reach end-of-life on 31 December 2026. We transfer your DSM logic in a controlled manner to a future-proof aagon acmp platform – with over 20 years of DSM experience and years of hands-on acmp practice.
DSM End-of-Life 2026 – Take action in time
IIvanti has announced the end of support for DSM on December 31, 2026. For many companies, DSM has been the central tool for software distribution, operating system installations, and patch management for decades. With the impending end of life for DSM, one thing is certain:
- Without timely migration, there is a risk of security vulnerabilities, lack of manufacturer support, and rising operating costs.
- Manually migrating thousands of DSM packages by 2026 is practically impossible and poses high risks for ongoing IT operations.
- Companies must now look for a DSM successor that both meets existing requirements and is future-proof.
End of support on 31 December 2026
No more patches, no vendor support, no new features. Every delay increases your security and compliance risks.
Hundreds to thousands of packages in scope
An unstructured migration under time pressure jeopardises stability, patch status and operational security.
DSM legacy cannot simply be cloned
Historically grown structures require a conscious decision: preserve or modernise.
Experienced migration resources are limited
The time until the end of 2026 is shorter than it seems. Those who plan early secure capacity and calm transitions.
Why aagon acmp is the ideal DSM successor
aagon acmp has established itself as a powerful, clear and long-term endpoint management platform – especially for organisations with a DSM history.
acmp offers not only functional continuity, but also the opportunity to deliberately leave DSM legacy behind.

Warum wir bei acmp bewusst neu paketieren
When migrating from DSM to acmp, we do not rely on automated package transfer. The reason is simple – and technically grounded.
acmp offers a significantly larger and more modern range of graphical package commands than DSM. An automated 1-to-1 conversion would waste this advantage.
Preserve DSM complexity
Perpetuate legacy technical structures
Limit the potential of acmp
We understand both worlds in depth
Decades of DSM experience meet years of acmp practice. That makes the difference in every DSM replacement project.
1. We know how DSM customers think
Historically grown structures and processes are not a mystery to us — they are our daily terrain.
We know DSM from the inside
Over 20 years of experience with DSM, NetInstall and Enteo — including the typical workarounds, scripts and edge cases.
3. We bring hands-on acmp practice
Several years of project experience with aagon acmp — we know which concepts can be transferred directly and which should be rethought.
4. We build acceptance within your team
Meaningful transfer instead of disruption: your admins recognise familiar patterns, learn new ones step by step and stay operational throughout.
Migration without downtime
An unstructured migration is highly risky – especially under the time pressure of DSM end-of-life. These are the questions we hear from our customers:

Frequently asked questions
Our answers to the most common questions about migrating from Ivanti DSM to aagon acmp.
aagon acmp (Automated Client Management Platform) is a modular Client Management suite from the German vendor aagon. It covers inventory, software and OS deployment, patch management, vulnerability management, license management, helpdesk and security (BitLocker, Defender, Intune).
acmp offers a clear architecture, a wide range of graphical package commands and enterprise-grade software distribution, OSD and patch management. For organisations with a DSM history, acmp is a transparent, long-term platform – operated from Germany, GDPR-compliant.
An automated 1-to-1 conversion would preserve DSM complexity, carry over legacy structures and limit the potential of acmp. acmp offers a significantly larger and more modern range of graphical package commands. Structured re-packaging is therefore the decisive quality factor.
In clearly defined phases: clean analysis of the existing DSM environment, structured re-packaging in acmp, retention of proven DSM concepts where useful, modernisation where necessary, measurable migration phases and support beyond the switchover.
Duration depends on package count, complexity and desired modernisation. We assess your scope in an analysis workshop and propose a realistic, phased migration plan that secures ongoing operations.
Yes. We migrate in clearly delimited phases with measurable results, so that software distribution, patch status and security remain guaranteed at all times. DSM and acmp run in parallel during the transition period.
Windows client and server management on-premises and hybrid, graphical software distribution, OSD and enterprise-grade patch management, clear architecture without unnecessary complexity, high transparency and traceable processes – plus a future-proof roadmap.
Over 20 years of experience with DSM, NetInstall and Enteo, combined with several years of acmp project practice. We understand DSM structures and mindsets historically, know which concepts can be carried over and which should be deliberately rethought.
We support you beyond the migration: stabilising the acmp environment, maintaining clean packages, reducing complexity and ensuring long-term operational security. On request, we also take on managed support tasks.
