Case Study: PGGM achieves a single source of truth and faster, scalable reporting with SimCorp’s Data Warehouse

As first movers, PGGM worked alongside SimCorp to develop, influence and implement a data warehouse solution

PGGM, a large Dutch pension fund service provider managing over EUR 200 billion, faced multiple data challenges: multiple versions of the truth, ambiguous data definitions, an unscalable and labor‑intensive reporting process, and slow time‑to‑market for regulatory and client reports. To tackle this, PGGM partnered with SimCorp as a pilot client to implement SimCorp’s Data Warehouse, leveraging the standard interface from their core SimCorp Dimension solution.

SimCorp delivered a standardized data warehouse and interfaces while PGGM instituted strong data governance and business ownership of data, plus BI self‑service for end users. The result: SimCorp’s Data Warehouse became a single source of truth, increasing direct data coverage for client, fund and mandate report blocks from about 40% to roughly 80%, enabling historized snapshots for reproducibility, reducing developer workload and avoiding additional permanent staffing, and materially improving reporting scalability and time‑to‑market.
