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 Tradex Insurance Company Ltd. (Tradex), a specialty insurer in all sectors of the motor trade, has selected Sapiens IDIT Software Suite (Sapiens IDIT) to modernize and enhance its core insurance processing environment.

After a thorough market analysis and evaluation of available solutions, Tradex selected Sapiens IDIT, citing the solution suite as the best functional and technology fit for the company’s processing needs. Sapiens’ commitment to provide its own hands-on team of experts throughout the implementation process was also a key factor in Tradex’s decision.

“Tradex was looking for a system that would help improve our data analysis, giving us greater insight into our operations, while providing us with the flexibility and agility to adapt system business rules and processes as required,” said Stephen Endean, CEO of Tradex. “We are confident that Sapiens’ industry-proven suite will satisfy our needs. And the strong working relationship that was forged during the evaluation and selection phases will serve Tradex well in the future and help us embody our slogan, ‘Flexible insurers of the unique.’”

“Our Sapiens IDIT suite has been well received in the important UK market, where we continue to strengthen our footprint,” said Gary Sherne, president of Sapiens’ General Insurance and Reinsurance division. “A solution is so much more than a software component – the expertise and skill of our committed team is a major selling point. Sapiens looks forward to continuing our collaboration with Tradex.”

The Sapiens IDIT project will include policy administration, billing and collection, agent and commission management and claims management, fully replacing Tradex’s legacy environment. Tradex’s anticipated benefits include:

• Increased efficiencies, with greater automation and streamlined processing
• Rapid time to market for product enhancements and new lines of business
• Improved data integrity
• Lower cost of ownership
