SimCorp Named Back Office Provider of the Year at Funds Europe Awards 2013

SimCorp Dimension recognized for seamless support of back office processes for investment managers.

SimCorp, a leading provider of investment management software and services for the global financial industry, today announced winning ‘Back Office Provider of the Year’ at the 2013 Funds Europe Awards

The award builds on recent success for SimCorp at both the Buy-Side Technology Awards, and the Global Custodian Awards, which recognized the firm in portfolio accounting and collateral management respectively.

“Back office functions are more critical to fund managers today than ever before, owing to the unprecedented levels of volatility and complexity seen in capital markets in recent years,” said Klaus Holse, CEO at SimCorp. “With SimCorp Dimension, the back office technology is designed to equip firms to monitor and manage resultant risks. We’re thrilled that this critical support has been recognized by Funds Europe, as well as the role that our services play in helping clients to achieve business success.”

SimCorp Dimension supports virtually all investment management processes from front to back office. It helps firms to comply with industry standards by automating back office processes, which in turn reduces costs and the operational risks presented by manual workflows.

Holse continues, “Every year, we invest more than 22 percent of our annual revenue back into SimCorp Dimension, ensuring that the platform can address our clients’ current needs. This is essential in the constantly shifting investment and regulatory environment.”

The winning entry highlighted two of these upgrades which allow clients to both effectively manage collateral, as well as handle initial and variation margin for over-the-counter derivatives
