Frankfurt — April 20, 2026 — SimCorp, a global leader in financial technology, today announced an expansion of its strategic partnership with Preyer GmbH, a specialist IT consultancy with deep expertise in Central European and North American capital markets. The strengthened partnership aims to help buy-side firms and existing SimCorp clients across EMEA, with a particular focus on insurance companies in the DACH region, modernize their investment management platforms and seamlessly transition to SimCorp One to reduce operational complexity and unlock even more innovation.
“For many years, SimCorp has helped asset owners and asset managers run their investment operations reliably and support strong investment outcomes for their customers,” said Ralf Schmücker, Senior Managing Director and Head of Central & Southern EMEA at SimCorp. “By expanding our partnership with Preyer, we enable buy-side firms to better take full advantage of the capabilities of SimCorp One, helping them future proof their investment platforms with a partner that has a deep understanding of local regulatory requirements, market dynamics, operating models, and existing technology environments, combined with proven implementation expertise.”
Built on a unified data layer, SimCorp One combines the industry-leading Investment Book of Record (IBOR) as a single source of truth with a SaaS delivery model and access to SimCorp Managed Business Services. This enables real-time updates and supports investment decision-making across front, middle, and back-office functions. Together, these capabilities allow buy-side firms to transform their operating models while maintaining the controls, transparency, and regulatory standards their businesses depend on.
"Over the past two decades, we have supported SimCorp clients across EMEA and North America in complex transformation initiatives including some of the region‘s most demanding regulated environments in insurance and asset management," said Hans-Peter Preyer, Founder & CEO at Preyer GmbH. “We understand what it takes to turn platform ambition into operational reality, and by deepening our collaboration with SimCorp, we help buy-side firms modernize with confidence while embracing the benefits of standardization.” As a Platinum Sponsor, Preyer will be presenting at the SimCorp Global Summit from April 22-24 in Copenhagen. The Global Summit is SimCorp’s annual client conference, attended by 1,400 leaders from across the financial services industry.
