The multi-million dollar effort was kicked off in late 2013 with the selection of the Sapiens solution, chosen in large part due to the system's proven capabilities. Clal also had confidence in Sapiens' abilities given the company's technology, successful implementation, and insurance market experience. The project included development of the new system in an open environment, as well as the development of two new modules - Agents Commission and Claims Management.

The Sapiens team worked in close collaboration with Clal's software organization, Clalbit, in the development and implementation of complimentary systems, such as a data warehouse and dashboard.

With the new Sapiens solution now in production, Clal insurance is effectively providing its 2,000 insurance agents with significantly increased automation and more efficient and streamlined processing. Members of the fund and agents are now able to easily access accurate information, make more informed and timely decisions, and quickly complete processing, which makes for an ideal user experience.

"The Sapiens solution has enabled us to accelerate our growth and better serve our agents and customers to strengthen our leadership position in the pension provider market," said Izzy Cohen, CEO of Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd.

"Sapiens' system, together with other satellite systems developed by Clalbit, allows us to serve agents, customers and employees in a professional and high quality manner. I have no doubt that that this project has positioned us on the cutting-edge of the pension market in Israel," added Gil Arazi, CEO of Clalbit Systems Ltd.

"The Israeli market is important for Sapiens and the success of the Clal Insurance implementation gives us an even stronger presence and reputation for high quality solutions and services in this region," said Roni Al-Dor, Sapiens president and CEO. "We will continue to work closely with the Clal team as they grow their business and gain new efficiencies with the Sapiens solution now in production."
