With insurance regulations encouraging new companies to diversify the life insurance market, Altshuler Shaham recognized the opportunity, opting to launch a greenfield life insurance operation offering investment and risk products. The investment house is offering end-to-end life insurance processing, from the initial sale through ongoing management.

Altshuler Shaham's decision to enter this new market and implement Sapiens ALIS, a core policy administration solution supporting the complete policy lifecycle, was based on Sapiens' deep knowledge of the insurance market, its proven solution and wealth of experience managing long-term investment products.

The Sapiens system's full compliance with local regulations and legislation, and the collaboration between Sapiens and Altshuler Shaham personnel on the definition of workflows and procedures, led to the completion of the project in only eleven months. Sapiens provided interfaces for internal and external systems, to enable Altshuler Shaham to merge this core system with existing systems.

Altshuler Shaham is now benefitting from an online, digital sales channel for policies - this new distribution channel is unique in the industry and has expedited the firm's sales process.

"Entering as a new player to the life insurance market, it was important for us to team with a proven partner that would act as a trusted advisor, offer best practices and guidance, and equip us with the most modern technology," said Yair Lowenstein, CEO of Altshuler Shaham Insurance Company Ltd. "Sapiens' expertise and experience enabled us to go-live within eleven months."

"Altshuler Shaham's vote of confidence in Sapiens ALIS and people is appreciated and we look forward to playing a key role in helping the investment firm continue its rapid growth trajectory," said Roni Al-Dor, Sapiens' president and CEO. "We are always pleased to introduce our clients to new verticals, so they can obtain new customers and increase their revenue streams."
