"Erste Bank Group" chooses Simcorp

Simcorp ist having a new client in Austria (Vienna): "Erste Bank Group", more concretely the "Erste Sparinvest", will be using Simcorp from front to back within the whole group, for both mutual and institutional funds. This is Simcorp's first customer in Austria to use it in both depository banking and fund management. Quite a success for Simcorp. Question is if this will be a signal for other major banks in Austria, who are currently investigating their future systems.
