Athora Holding, an insurance and reinsurance group, has selected SimCorp’s cloud-based delivery model for back-office and accounting operations.
SimCorp Dimension will provide Athora with accounting functionality to support its back-office operations with accounting, financial and regulatory reporting across the European markets.
