Sapiens Forms Partnership with CGI Providing Carriers a Complete Insurance Administration Suite with CGIs Ratabase® Rating Solution
New alliance strengthens Sapiens rating offering with more sophisticated tools
Cary, N.C. April 1, 2008 - Sapiens International Corporation N.V. (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS), a member of the Emblaze/Formula Group (LSE: BLZ.L) (NASDAQ: FORTY and TASE: FORT) and CGI Group Inc. (TSX:GIB.A; NYSE:GIB) today announced a strategic partnership between CGI and Sapiens Americas Corporation to offer the option to integrate CGIs Ratabase engine into Sapiens INSIGHT™ for Property & Casualty, a fully web-based insurance administration suite that provides policy, billing, claims and reinsurance management.
Ratabase, CGI’s rate and rule management tool suite, an industry leading insurance rating solution, empowering business professionals to build, design, and deploy insurance products in the fastest possible time and manner. Over 100 insurance organizations worldwide use Ratabase to create different and unique product plans. It can be deployed on a variety of platforms, facilitating integration into virtually any system with broad processing requirements and distributed architectures, while ensuring consistent results across platforms.
Ratabase is a powerful and flexible software tool backed by CGIs 25 years of experience working with carriers insurance rating logic. CGIs Ratabase allows business users to update rating logic directly without complex programming, allowing companies to respond quickly to market needs, commented David Squibb Vice President, CGI. Ratabase complements the Sapiens INSIGHT™ suite by externalizing the carriers' rating logic outside of the Sapiens INSIGHT™ suite allowing it to be leveraged across other applications in the carriers’ enterprise. Together, we will be able to help carriers improve efficiency at the workplace by centralizing rating as a core asset of the organization rather than as a function of the various applications. We are already seeing benefits from this partnership even at its early stage with the first two carrier implementations.
Sapiens INSIGHT™ provides policy, billing, claims and reinsurance management and can be used modularly or as an integrated suite. It gives insurers a competitive edge and the tools they need to respond quickly to business challenges including speed to market, increasing customer demands, globalization and regulatory change. Sapiens INSIGHT™ is supported by experienced insurance domain experts who help provide solutions to those business challenges.
“We are very happy to partner with a market-leading company like CGI, where both companies strive to deliver the highest quality solutions to best meet client needs, expressed Roni Al Dor, CEO & President of Sapiens. It is an important step in Sapiens on-going strategy to partner with companies in the industry that can add value to customers by developing integrated solutions, cutting development time and reducing overall cost. Our services-orientated architecture easily allows us to offer best-of-breed solutions such as Ratabase.
