SAPIENS ACHIEVES HIGHEST LEVEL OF CERTIFICATION ON IBM'S
E-BUSINESS APPLICATION FRAMEWORK
Sapiens Delivers Solutions Incorporating IBM's Leading e-Business Technologies
Research Triangle Park, NC--August 15, 2000--Sapiens International Corporation
N.V. (NASDAQ: SPNS), a global e-business solutions provider, qualified for the
highest level of certification on IBM's e-business Application Framework. As a
Premier Partner in IBM's PartnerWorld for Developers, Sapiens and IBM have
worked closely together on solutions for the S/390 and AS/400 platforms.
IBM's e-business Application Framework defines 4 levels of criteria for
components used to develop e-business applications. Critical hardware and
software components, major building blocks, are established at each level for
the framework; and qualification is based upon their incorporation into the
application solution. Level 4 is the highest level of achievement.
Sapiens has consistently incorporated IBM's leading technologies into its
solutions. IBM software technologies (DB2, MQSeries and WebSphere) are key
components of Sapiens' solutions. Sapiens' eMerge Rapid Application Development
software enables solutions to be deployed across all of IBM's hardware server
platforms (such as S/390 and AS/400).
Doug Fulmer, Worldwide Segment Manager for IBM's AS/400 Application Development
Tools & Middleware Group, stated, "Sapiens has delivered high quality
mission-critical applications for a large cross-section of IBM customers,
worldwide. Sapiens and IBM have collaborated extensively on exploiting Cluster
Proven, WebSphere and AS/400 capabilities within Sapiens' core eMerge
technologies."
Gil Arbel, Sapiens' Executive Vice President, Americas, added: "Partnering with
IBM has been critical to Sapiens' success. They have provided phenomenal
support, excellent training and valuable partner programs to ensure that our
relationship works on many different levels. We have developed a mature
relationship, which has enabled us to provide industry-leading solutions.
Incorporating the critical components of IBM's e-business Application Framework
into Sapiens' solutions gives us a distinct competitive advantage."
