Case Study: Colonial First State achieves cost reduction and front‑office data automation with SimCorp Dimension IBOR

IBOR solves data management issues at Colonial First State

Colonial First State, a Sydney‑based pension fund managing AUD 300bn in AUM, faced persistent front‑office data management issues and complexity from a best‑of‑breed technology landscape. To support the front office and position the business for growth, Colonial First State selected SimCorp and implemented an investment book of record (IBOR) as the core of its SimCorp Dimension solution.

SimCorp deployed the IBOR within SimCorp Dimension to consolidate front‑to‑back workflows, driving automation and resolving data management problems across the investment process. The implementation delivered measurable cost reductions and greater operational efficiency, and Colonial First State reports the solution has provided the foundation for future growth while enabling expansion of the one‑system approach across the organization.
