Sapiens' CoreSuite for Workers Compensation, DigitalSuite, and Sapiens Intelligence will improve efficiency and automation, delivered through Sapiens' SaaS platform

ROCHELLE PARK, N.J., Aug. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sapiens International Corporation (NASDAQ: SPNS) (TASE: SPNS), a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, announced today that The South Carolina State Accident Fund (SAF), a state agency that offers guaranteed workers' compensation insurance for governmental entities, has selected Sapiens CoreSuite for Workers Compensation to provide a more intuitive system with detailed workflow automation. SAF will also implement Sapiens DigitalSuite and Sapiens Intelligence for a more engaging user experience and enhanced processing, respectively, delivered through Sapiens SaaS platform.

SAF needed a modern core solution to achieve its growth expectations and provide the highest level of customer service. The system enhancements will improve communication and increase efficiency through pre-configured, role-based user groups and messaging capabilities. SAF is an existing Sapiens customer, whose new system should go live in October of 2024.

"Sapiens has proven to be a true partner by understanding our business, responding to our requirements, and facilitating our transformation with solutions that drive growth and value."

"An intuitive and streamlined workers compensation administration platform will help strengthen SAF's overall operations," said Jamie Yoder, Sapiens North America President & General Manager. "We look forward to helping SAF modernize its core systems while continuing to build its strong foundation for continued growth well into the future."

About The South Carolina State Accident Fund

The South Carolina State Accident Fund was established in 1943 for the purpose of providing workers' compensation coverage and administration for all state agencies and other local governmental entities at reasonable prices. By creating a state agency for the sole purpose of "self-insuring," the state of South Carolina provides a stable source of guaranteed insurance coverage so that state workers are not placed at undue risk.

On July 1, 2013, the administration of the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Uninsured Employers' Fund was transferred to the State Accident Fund. The Uninsured Employers' Fund was created to ensure payment of workers' compensation benefits to injured employees whose employers failed to acquire necessary coverage for their employees as required.

By administering both funds, the State Accident Fund provides a more stable environment for our state's employers and their employees. For more information visit https://saf.sc.gov/index.php/contact-us
