TEMASEK AWARDED FOR ITS SUCCESSFUL TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM AT GLOBAL SIMCORP CLIENT EVENT
SimCorp, a leading provider of integrated, front-to-back, multi-asset investment management solutions and services to the world’s largest buy-side institutions, announces Singapore-headquartered investment company, Temasek, as the winner of its 2021 IUCM Award for Best Transformation Project in 2020.
The award, now in its 11th year, recognizes global financial institutions’ ability to create sustainable long-term outcomes in large-scale transformation projects, which Temasek has demonstrated.
At a time when the company, like many buy-side firms, was dealing with the turbulence of a world pandemic, Temasek not only executed a multi-faceted and global transformation program, but did so despite the challenge of resources shifting to remote-working.
Through a consolidated approach to its operations, Temasek was able to move from multiple systems to one central and integrated platform. Along with increased operational efficiency, enhanced functionality and extensive instrument coverage, the successful transformation program has provided greater governance and control. The move also supported the firm’s strategic ambition for improved end-to-end automation.
Jonathon Allaway, Chief Technology Officer at Temasek comments: “We thank SimCorp for this award, which recognizes the teams that have worked hard to pursue this transformation during a challenging year. As an investment company, one of our goals is to achieve higher performance and unlock greater value from our investment operations. We depend on our technology partners to help us achieve those goals through the implementation of systems fit for purpose.”
Klaus Holse, CEO at SimCorp adds: “It is with great pleasure, that we award Temasek, for their achievements and for demonstrating operational excellence. This year’s award, just like 2020 itself, is like no other. Successfully completing a large-scale transformation amid market volatility, takes resiliency and resolve, which Temasek displayed in overcoming the challenges that came their way and passionately working to implement long-term change. It has been a privilege to empower Temasek’s investment operations and to enable the increased agility for their business.”
