SAPIENS INSIGHT™ FOR PROPERTY & CASUALTY DRIVES
ONEBEACON’S NEW SEGMENTED PERSONAL INSURANCE PRODUCTS
-- Sapiens’ Business Rules Web-enabled Solution Means Speed to Market --
Research Triangle Park, N.C., (April 12, 2005) - Sapiens International Corporation, N.V. (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS), today announced live production of its innovative policy administration solution, Sapiens INSIGHTTM for Property & Casualty, at OneBeacon Insurance Group for its Personal Lines business. This deployment follows the successful implementation of the Commercial Lines module of the same application for OneBeacon’s Small Business segment in 2003. This event represents another successful milestone for OneBeacon’s delivery of cost effective, flexible product and technology platforms to support its various lines of insurance. Moreover, OneBeacon’s Personal Lines group achieved its business goal of quickly bringing highly segmented insurance products to market, thereby enhancing the company’s foundation for growth and more effectively servicing its independent agency partners and policyholders.
Sapiens INSIGHT™ for Property & Casualty is a Web-based, integrated Personal and Commercial lines policy administration solution, built with Sapiens’ eMerge™ Business Rules Technology, that allows carriers to write more profitable business through cost and risk reduction and to serve customer needs more completely. The solution allows insurers to quickly react in today’s fast-paced business environment by providing business rule management and insurance product configuration capabilities that help carriers “go live” more quickly. By using both ISO-based and proprietary lines of insurance, carriers can rapidly adapt and expand these offerings based on market opportunities.
“Our product management team has created a family of highly segmented products that we began introducing last Spring,” said Alex Archimedes, Senior Vice President of OneBeacon Personal Lines. “So far, our OneChoice Auto product is gaining tremendous market acceptance and praise from our independent agents. Sapiens INSIGHT™ for Property & Casualty was a very good solution for us and critical to our successful launch of our new products.”
"Two years ago, we embarked on a strategy to improve the processing platforms for all of our lines of business,” said Mike Natan, CIO of OneBeacon. "We have accomplished our goals and have realized significant improvements in service and quality, while reducing the total ownership cost of our systems. Our internal teams partnered with the Sapiens staff and together continue to accomplish extraordinary work.”
"Sapiens is pleased to have partnered with OneBeacon in the realization of its business and technical strategy,” said Steven Bessellieu, President of Sapiens Americas. “We are continuing our efforts to provide the insurance industry with the most cost effective and agile solutions on the market today. When coupled with our team’s industry expertise and dedication, our reputation for delivering innovative solutions on time and within budget continues to grow."
