The debate over long-term market prospects continues to rage, and though it is difficult to gauge both the length and severity of the downturn, organisations should start aligning their business towards growth. For this reason, the headline for this year’s International SimCorp Dimension User Community Meeting was ‘Prepare for growth’.
Delegates from the global financial industry participating in the two-day event were introduced to an impressive programme, combining industry experts’ macro views of current challenges and how to exploit post-crisis opportunities with hands-on advice on how to mitigate risk, reduce cost and enable growth. In addition, participants had the opportunity to gain early insight into SimCorp Dimension development strategies and discuss development plans with SimCorp management. Finally, an extensive programme of SimCorp Dimension domain break-out streams allowed participants to focus on specific parts of the SimCorp Dimension solution with domain experts of 12 different domains.
