Sapiens was one of five vendors acknowledged in the "Leaders" quadrant from an initial pool of more than 50 vendors across Europe. This Magic Quadrant evaluates European life insurance policy administration systems that support end-to-end policy administration transactions, including: new product development and ongoing product maintenance, quotations/illustrations and application management, assessment and underwriting of risks, policy issuance, collections and disbursements, technical subledger accounting, ongoing contract administration and endorsements, and benefits and claims management.

"This competitive landscape has seen vendors accelerate the expansion of their offerings beyond basic skilled advisor portals and simple analytics to offer enhanced multichannel digital experiences, including a broader array of BI dashboards and reports," wrote Laurie Shotton, research director at Gartner.* "Insurance CIOs should therefore rethink their system replacement plans and build business cases that are not solely focused on legacy modernization and digital foundations, but consider these purchases as digital accelerators, as well."

"We believe this recognition from a leading and trusted research firm reflects the significant effort we have invested in Sapiens ALIS, which is one of our flagship solutions in Europe and the U.S.," said Roni Al-Dor, president and CEO, Sapiens. "Our latest version of Sapiens ALIS is integrated with customer and agent portals, a comprehensive business intelligence solution and illustration capabilities."

"It also includes a new group module and enables fast time-to-value for digital transformation, as well as comprehensive, modular, business-led services," continued Al-Dor. "Insurers can benefit from a single platform for managing individual, group and employee benefit business."

Sapiens ALIS is a flagship solution designed to enable insurance carriers to quickly and efficiently address the challenges of a highly regulated marketplace. Our end-to-end, core solution suite supports the complete policy lifecycle across a wide variety of products in the life, pension, annuity and medical segments. ALIS life insurance software is complemented by Sapiens' comprehensive delivery capabilities.
