netPension goes live
At the first pension institution, developed together with the institutions that work with it.
Technology
Technology and architecture
netPension NG is the current generation of the software: a pure web application on a modern, multi-layered Microsoft platform. Not a new product, but the same range of features on a new foundation.
The platform
A web application, executed on the server.
netPension NG is a pure web application based on Microsoft's Blazor Server framework and the current .NET framework. Data access runs via Entity Framework Core; Microsoft SQL Server is used as the database. An up-to-date browser at the workstation is all you need – Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome or Edge are recommended.
Operation in-house requires a local web server. Detailed system requirements can be found on the on-premise page. To the system requirements
Layered architecture
Why this makes a difference for you.
A clean layered architecture is not an end in itself. It is the reason why the same software is reusable, easy to adapt and simple to extend – and therefore the reason why an institution with its own statutes does not get a special development that nobody can maintain any more.
01
Clear separation of responsibilities
Interface, business logic, data access and external connections sit in separate layers. That is why a change to a statutory rule does not affect the interface, and a new reporting format does not affect the business logic.
02
Statutes as separate components
Contribution and benefit calculation are separate building blocks. That is why statute-compliant calculations for a further pension institution can be integrated with manageable effort – and why twelve different statutes run on the same software.
03
Connections in a separate layer
Reporting procedures and interfaces are attached to a separate integration layer. If a format changes from outside, this affects that layer – not your data and not your workflow.
04
Scalable
The architecture is designed for larger data volumes – pension institutions as well as pension funds. Even extensive queries across large amounts of data can be answered in a short time.
05
Open to AI
Data access runs automatically via the Entity Framework – from within the business logic, without hand-written queries in between. Because this layer is cleanly separated, AI building blocks can be added without deep intervention in the data layer. Implementation is step by step; governance and data protection take priority.

06
One update path
The technology base is maintainable and has a way forward. That is the difference from software that is frozen at one version and has to be replaced at some point.
Generations
From netPension to netPension NG.
2017
Version 9
At this point, the software is in use at eleven pension institutions.
2022
Version 14
In the same year, AAC becomes netPension Software GmbH.
2026
netPension NG
The completely revised and thoroughly modernised generation – as a pure web application, either in the cloud or in-house.
