Why SIMO?

SIMO was founded in 2020 and turned to data management in 2021 because of one observation: companies in Germany have what they need to decide better but cannot get at it. Legacy system landscapes, unclear accountability, and the balancing act between data protection and value creation tie up management capacity that is then missing elsewhere.

We specialize in untying that knot. Working between executive management and technology, we turn an unclear situation into a dependable basis for decisions: traceable, manageable, and compliant with data protection law.

Our DNA

People

Professional depth meets an understanding of your situation. We listen before we advise.

Trust

Innovation

We remain practitioners. We recommend new technology when it makes a measurable contribution.

The leadership

Portrait of Andreas O. Schwan, Managing Partner, Data Architecture and Technology

Andreas O. Schwan

Managing Partner, Data Architecture and Technology

Mathematician (Diplom) with more than 20 years in financial services, accountable for business data management at tier-one banks. Engagements at three major banks. At one of Europe’s largest banks, accountable for monitoring more than 70 million transactions a day; at a banking association, for processing 23 TB in under 10 hours.

SIMOSphere AI was not created in a laboratory. It came out of the reality of German banking, where the only thing that counts is whether a statement holds up under audit.

Thomas Wassum

Managing Partner, Brand and Corporate Strategy

More than 25 years of leadership experience in the media industry. Combines corporate strategy with data-driven market development. Talks to executives about business impact, not to IT about interfaces.

Initiatives rarely fail on technology. They fail on an unclear basis for decisions, on processes, and on a lack of buy-in.
