Sapiens International Corporation, (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS), a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, with an emerging focus on the broader financial services sector, announced today that specialist insurer Hiscox has entered production with the Sapiens IDIT Software Suite (Sapiens IDIT) for policy administration, claims and billing.

The first Hiscox product to be migrated onto the Sapiens IDIT platform is Hiscox Home Insurance in the UK. Hiscox plans to migrate all of its global retail insurance business to the Sapiens IDIT platform, so it can benefit from a single, unified platform. Once complete, Hiscox will decommission its legacy environment to take full advantage of the cost benefits, speed-to-market advantages, product and process flexibility, and simplified maintenance offered by Sapiens IDIT.

"With our customers' expectations continually evolving in today's digital landscape, we knew we needed to embrace new technology to consistently provide an exemplary customer experience relative to both products and services," said Stephane Flaquet, Hiscox's CIO. "The Sapiens IDIT system provides the necessary breadth of functionality, while offering us agility and a high degree of configurability to set up new products, or modify existing ones."

"Working with the Sapiens team during the implementation has been a great experience. Sapiens has proven that they are committed to our success and they have been rigorous in working with our team to ensure our expectations and timeline are met," said Flaquet.

Some of the benefits Hiscox is expecting include:

• Integrated platform for Underwriting, Policy Administration, Claims Management and Billing and Collections
• Pace of change with configurable products, rates and rules
• Superb service enabled by more customer-centric solutions
• Multi-channel platform for our customers, brokers and partners
• Increased operational effectiveness through automation and straight-through processing

"Sapiens is enjoying strong momentum in the global P&C insurance market and having an outstanding organization like Hiscox select and successfully deploy our solution serves to strengthen our position in a strategic region," said Gary Sherne, president of Sapiens' P&C/General Insurance and Reinsurance division. "We look forward to continuing to work closely with the Hiscox team as they move the remaining retail business to the Sapiens IDIT platform to achieve their goal of a common and configurable core processing platform."
