Sapiens International Corporation, a leading global IT solutions provider and represented in SA by JMR Software, has announced the availability of IBM WebSphere Portal as an optional front end to its INSIGHT family of insurance solutions. Sapiens Policy INSIGHT, its policy administration solution for the property/casualty insurance sector, is believed to be the first in the product suite to include WebSphere Portal.
Policy INSIGHT enables insurance companies to automate new business and policy lifecycle processing by linking directly through the Internet to their producer community. As the leading insurance industry solution built on WebSphere Portal functionality, Policy INSIGHT will provide a framework for quickly constructing and implementing Web-based applications, including Customer Search and InTray portlets, which are designed to enable increased access to information for business users and improved policy processing for new business.
"This agreement between Sapiens and IBM enables the business innovation our mutual customers need," stated Larry Bowden, Vice-President, IBM Portals Solutions Software Group. "Sapiens is leveraging the WebSphere Portal platform to provide the functionality that empowers dynamic interaction throughout the insurance value chain."
"Sapiens and IBM continue to make strides in our partnership and delivering value to the insurance market," said Judy Johnson, Vice-President Insurance Strategy, Sapiens Americas. "IBM WebSphere Portal was a natural choice for us as an open standards platform to build on, and the portal will increase insurer and agent productivity through personalised interfaces."
