Alkymi at the SimCorp Global Summit 2025

Highlights from Alkymi at the SimCorp Global Summit

We were proud to sponsor and participate in the SimCorp Global Summit in Barcelona, marking our fourth consecutive year as a sponsor. It was certainly a memorable event and our first event to be interrupted by a countrywide power outage! Even with the disruption, the Summit delivered engaging conversations and powerful insights into the future of investment operations, technology, and digital transformation.

The SimCorp Global Summit brings together thousands of industry leaders, technology innovators, and investment operations professionals from around the world. This year’s program focused on how firms can modernize operations, unlock new efficiencies, and create competitive advantages through technology, particularly in areas such as private markets, data management, AI, and automation. The event offered a valuable forum for exchanging ideas, networking with peers, and exploring the latest innovations shaping the future of investment management.

A standout theme throughout the Summit was the growing momentum behind automation solutions for Private Credit and the rise of Agentic AI. At Alkymi, we’re proud to be at the forefront of these trends, helping investment managers unlock faster, smarter, and more scalable operations through AI-powered solutions. 

Alkymi on Stage: 

SimCorp invited us to join a panel session, “Streamline Data Collection with LLM and Portal Technology,” featuring:

• Matt DeLoca, VP of Sales at Alkymi
• Asem Qamhiyeh, Head of Sales, EMEA & APAC at Dasseti
• Jacob Perner, Product Owner at SimCorp, as moderator

The session explored how emerging technologies like machine learning, large language models (LLMs), and portal solutions are redefining data workflows for the investment management industry.

Key Takeaways from the Session

1. Data is a Strategic Asset—but Still Hard to Access
Jacob Perner opened the discussion by highlighting how, despite being vital to every aspect of investment operations, data isn’t always readily available in usable formats, especially for complex asset classes like private markets. This is why SimCorp partners with fintech leaders like Alkymi and Dasseti, who are pioneering the next generation of data collection and automation technologies.

2. How Alkymi Applies AI to Real-World Problems
Matt DeLoca provided a look into Alkymi’s journey since its founding in 2017. Alkymi’s platform automates the unstructured data collection process, from document retrieval all the way to seamless delivery into downstream systems like SimCorp Dimension.

When discussing AI approaches, Matt explained that Alkymi remains “model neutral,” choosing the best AI model based on the document type. Traditional machine learning models work best for highly structured documents like capital calls, while LLMs shine with longer, language-heavy documents like credit agreements.

3. Lessons from Integrating LLMs
Alkymi was an early innovator with LLMs, experimenting even before the release of ChatGPT 3.5 in late 2022. While adapting the platform for LLMs was technically smooth, the bigger challenge was navigating heightened client privacy concerns and lengthy approval processes in enterprise environments. Fortunately, broader adoption of open-source and private LLMs is making it easier for financial institutions to deploy these technologies today.

4. The Future: Beyond Data Extraction
Looking ahead, Matt shared Alkymi’s vision that data extraction from individual documents will be fully commoditized. The next frontier is agentic AI, intelligent agents that not only extract information from documents but also connect insights across multiple documents, external data sources, and even take actions, such as managing payments, generating compliance reports, or submitting regulatory filings. These actions would be performed almost automatically, with a human providing the final approval.

This evolution is critical as document volumes grow, complexity increases, and investment teams need faster, traceable, and auditable workflows to scale and stay competitive.
