- Acquisition Signals Sapiens' Goal to Become a Recognized Market Leader in the Insurance Software Solutions Industry

Sapiens International Corporation N.V., a global provider of insurance software solutions, announced today that it has acquired Harcase Software, a provider of software solutions to the North American insurance industry. The acquisition brings together Harcase's RapidSure Policy Administration Solution for property and casualty carriers and Sapiens' experience, expertise and proven track record in the insurance industry. Harcase recently merged with Octello, an enterprise software and professional services provider.

The Harcase acquisition is one of the cornerstones in Sapiens' known strategy to expand its market share in the insurance software industry. Focusing on establishing a stronger footprint in the North American market, Sapiens' goal is to become a global market leader, delivering high value, high quality insurance software solutions.

"This acquisition is a good marriage of Sapiens' longtime presence in the US market and the thoroughly modern RapidSure solution," says Chad Hersh, a Principal at analyst firm Novarica. "As a fully modern solution with robust functionality, support for open standards, and a service oriented approach, RapidSure should help provide numerous benefits to carriers, including improved speed-to-market and lower total cost of ownership."

The RapidSure suite supports commercial, personal and specialty line products. Leveraging component-based Service Orient Architectures, RapidSure allows carriers to progressively remodel their IT Enterprise Architecture. The suite includes a comprehensive policy administration system with an innovative product configuration system that enables quick time to market for new products, and a point-of-sale portal to support multiple distribution channels and collaboration. We will continue our development efforts to remain at the technological forefront of the insurance software industry."

"We are very pleased to welcome the Harcase team that joins Sapiens today," said Roni Al-dor, CEO of Sapiens. "This is an important acquisition for Sapiens. This transaction is aligned with our long-term strategy in the Insurance market to make Sapiens a household name and the vendor of choice among insurance carriers. We expect Harcase to provide us with the platform to strengthen our position in North America and in the Property and Casualty segment globally, and contribute to our revenue growth."

"The combination of Sapiens' and Harcase's resources, products, and experience enables us to deliver a powerful value proposition to insurance carriers," said Dan Sobotincic, Founder, President and CEO of Harcase, who will now head Sapiens P&C Insurance Division." I strongly believe that the synergies between the two organizations will significantly expand the market footprint for the RapidSure suite as well as the Sapiens name.
