The new generation
netPension® NG
The completely redeveloped generation of the pension administration system: a pure web application, modular in structure, available in both operating models. On 1 January 2027 it goes into operation at three state parliament pension institutions. The software is currently still in parallel operation.

1 January 2027
Three state parliament pension institutions go live together.
Three institutions, three sets of statutes, one date. The pension institutions of the state parliaments of North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg and Brandenburg will put netPension® NG into operation on 1 January 2027. The software is currently still in parallel operation.
Versorgungswerk des Landtags Nordrhein-Westfalen
Düsseldorf. Pensions for the members of the largest German state parliament.
Versorgungswerk des Landtags Baden-Württemberg
Stuttgart. Retirement provision for the members of the State Parliament of Baden-Württemberg.
Versorgungswerk des Landtags Brandenburg
Potsdam. Pension institution of the Brandenburg State Parliament.
Parliamentary pensions have been a focus for years: statutory rules, parliamentary group membership, terms of office and offsetting rules differ significantly from those of a professional pension institution. To the industry page
Six characteristics
What defines the new generation.
01
Web-based
Browser-based front end without an installed client. Case handlers work from any location – in the office or working from home – without any data being stored on the workstation computer.
02
Modular architecture
Reusable business logic instead of a special development for each institution. This is why the software can be adapted quickly to the statutes of an individual institution without the common basis drifting apart.
03
Entity Framework
Database access takes place automatically from within the business logic. The implementation effort is therefore focused on the subject matter – on contribution and benefit rules – and not on data storage.
04
Modern technology base
Current .NET and Blazor as the web framework. A maintainable basis with a way forward – the difference from software that is frozen at one version and will have to be replaced at some point.
05
Scalable
Designed for larger data sets: pension institutions as well as pension funds. Even extensive queries across large volumes of data can be answered in a short time.
06
Open to AI
The architecture makes it possible to add AI-assisted processes without intervening deeply in the data layer. Implementation is gradual; governance and data protection take priority.
07
Open to edge
Because business logic and connections are separate, individual processing steps can be extracted from the central application and operated as an edge component at the customer’s site – where data protection, speed or the connection of local systems make this sensible. SaaS and edge
The internal structure of the application – layers, components, connection paths – is explained in conversation and not published. To technology and architecture
Two operating models
A web application does not automatically mean someone else’s server.
netPension® NG runs as a SaaS solution in a German data centre whose operation we take care of – or on-premise on your institution’s infrastructure, if you have your own IT and want to keep the data in your own data centre. The range of features is the same in both cases; the only difference is who is responsible for infrastructure, updates and data backup.
For existing customers
What this means for a running system.
The existing netPension® remains in operation and continues to be maintained – statutory changes and reporting procedures are kept up to date there as well. The switch to the new generation is a project with a date, not a forced changeover. We carry out the data migration ourselves; so far every data set has arrived in full.
