(1888PressRelease) October 14, 2016 - "Uxbridge, UK - Sapiens International Corporation, (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS), a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, with a growing presence in the financial services sector, announced today that Sapiens ALIS for life and annuity providers received the highest product scores in the "New Application/Manual Underwriting," "Policy Change" and "Service through Portals/Mobile" North American use case categories.

The "Critical Capabilities for Life Insurance Policy Administration Systems, North America" report by Gartner, which was published on September 13, 2016, quantified 15 North American life solutions in an effort to help guide insurance CIOs who are considering policy administration systems.

Out of the six total use case categories, Sapiens received the highest scores in three separate categories and scored in the top five in each of the other three categories in the report: "New Product Development/Launch," "New Application/Automated Underwriting" and "Reporting and Data Management."

"Many vendors are expanding the scope of their offering to include noncore capabilities such as document management, business process management, business intelligence, and customer and agent portals to better meet the emerging needs of buyers, to differentiate themselves and to support new initiatives such as digitalization," wrote Gartner analysts Richard Thomas Natale and Kimberly Harris-Ferrante in the report. "Vendors are also investing in service-oriented architectures (SOA) to improve integration capability and to better address customer needs."

"It is an honor to score the highest in three different categories from a wide North American vendor field," said Alex Zukerman, vice president of product marketing and strategy for Sapiens' Life, Pension and Retirement division. We believe Sapiens ALIS' advanced technology and impressive functionality have placed us in a leadership position in North America and that Sapiens ALIS' leading digital capabilities are gaining recognition. We thank Gartner for its extensive research, which will help North American insurance CIOs who are considering system support for digitalization, data analytics and integration."
