Sapiens successfully completes delivery of a second project with Liverpool Victoria
Migration of additional book of policies expands Sapiens Closed Books INSIGHT™ solution functionality and products profile
March 14, 2005
Research Triangle Park, N.C. — March 14, 2005 — Sapiens International
Corporation N.V. (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS) today announced the successful
completion of a contract to migrate a further 400,000 of Liverpool Victoria’s unitlinked
life and pension policies onto its Closed Books INSIGHT™ platform.
Closed Books INSIGHT™ has enabled Liverpool Victoria to restructure their
business processes and reduce their operational cost base dramatically since Sapiens
migrated 3.5 million of Liverpool Victoria’s policies onto Closed Books INSIGHT™ in 2002. This further migration will enable Liverpool Victoria to build on the
substantial benefits already realised since moving their older portfolios onto Closed
Books INSIGHT™.
The migration of this new book has broadened Closed Books INSIGHT’s capabilities,
now administering a range of unitised with-profits and unit-linked pensions and life
products as well as traditional with-profits products.
Kevin Durkan, Liverpool Victoria’s Group Director - Operations, commented:“The experience of implementing Closed Books INSIGHT™ and the benefits we’ve
since realised made it an obvious decision to migrate further policies on to the same
platform. The Sapiens Closed Books INSIGHT™ solution has helped us to achieve
very efficient administration and customer service at a much lower cost than before.”
Kali Bagary, Managing Director of Sapiens UK, added:“Our low cost and speed of implementation for new functionality, products and data
migration is becoming enviable in the market. Our INSIGHT suite of solutions has
been developed to support standardised business processes, the foundation for low
cost and scalable platforms in L&P administration. We are so confident in our ability
to meet client needs that we are able to offer fixed price / duration contracts,
removing any overrun risks. As we have shown at Liverpool Victoria, not only is
Closed Books INSIGHT™ a low cost platform to run, but it is highly scalable and
easily configurable for additional products.”
