At this year´s Wealth Annual Growth Meeting in Düsseldorf, Mercer Germany, together with Promerit introduced the Mercer Pension Optimizer solution. The results received great feedback and the outcome serves as a fingerprint of the success of our joint forces. Mercer´s Wealth business with the German market is an uncapped opportunity, especially if we can transform the business into a bundled service offering, combining Mercer advisory services, insurance business with digitalized solutions for the greatest assets of all companies, people.

The MPO directly docks on the customer´s SAP HR system to leverage basic employee and compensation data and uses SAP´s payroll engine to simulate the pension situation based the information provided by the employee. The real-time simulation ensures that the modelled results can immediately be sent to the payroll system, so that they can be considered in next month´s payroll run. No data leaves the system.

As the solution comes with a self-service approach (direct access by the employees anytime, any-device), customers can easily support with this digital process piece their strategy towards rethinking HR service offerings and the HR service portfolio.

We´re approaching first pilot customers with the current version of MPO to collect early-adopter detailed feedback and based on that pursue the official market launch in the second half of the year. Fingers crossed! 😉
