SUDAMERICA LE MANS AIE CHOOSES SAPIENS
TO IMPLEMENT EURO TRANSITION PROJECT
Research Triangle Park, NC--September 5, 2000--Sapiens International Corporation
N.V. (NASDAQ: SPNS), a global e-business solutions provider, today announced
that SudAmericaVida y Pensiones and Le Mans Seguros, the Spanish subsidiaries of
two of the most important insurance companies in Europe and South America, has
chosen Sapiens to manage the changeover of SudAmerica's IT host systems to the
single European currency.
The project, which is scheduled for completion by September 2001, includes the
scanning, analysis and conversion of the company's IT system components, using
Sapiens EuroMigration(TM), the premier system-wide solution for euro conversion.
The Sapiens team will work with SudAmerica on all business as well as technical
aspects of the project, including the identification of SudAmerica's business
needs, the delineation of the scope of the project and the planning,
coordination and implementation of all functional and technical aspects of the
euro transition effort.
Commenting on the project, Mr. Rafael Fernandez Herrero, SudAmerica Le Mans MIS,
said: "Sapiens has recognized that a project of this scope and length requires a
high level of commitment in order to allow our employees to maximize their
dedication to business critical tasks and to enable the expansion of companies
in the group. Further, Sapiens' professional team allows us to continue
day-to-day business functions during the transition and adaptation to the euro.
Sapiens has shown us that they have the best professionals, technology and
methodology for this kind of project, as well as the flexibility to manage
exceptions and problems. The availability of the Sapiens Global Services will
also ensure rapid project delivery and allow smooth transition to the euro."
Mr. Yaakov Essoudry, Managing Director, Sapiens Spain, added: "We are delighted
to have been selected as SudAmerica's vendor for their euro conversion
challenge, and we look forward to working with SudAmerica on future IT
challenges. This project represents a breakthrough for Sapiens in the Spanish
market, where we are experiencing an increased demand for our solutions and are
in the process of expanding our operations."
