KBC In Production with Sapiens ALIS Policy Administration System
LONDON, June 13, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
ALIS is fully deployed to support the Individual Pensions Arrangement.
Complete multi-lingual implementation in English, Dutch and French.
Sapiens International Corporation, (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS), a global provider of
innovative insurance software solutions, today announced that KBC's insurance business in
Belgium is in full production with the ALIS Policy Administration Solution.

The initial implementation is to support the sales and servicing of Individual Pension
Arrangement (IPA) products distributed through its network of 500 bancassurance agencies
across Belgium. Around 1600 agents can now distribute and manage business using the new
processes enabled within ALIS.
KBC focuses on providing bank, insurance and wealth management products and services
to retail customers, private banking clients and mid-cap / SMEs, with a geographic focus
on the home markets of Belgium and Central and Eastern Europe.
The Sapiens' ALIS solution is being deployed at KBC as a multi-lingual solution to
support new products and services. With the implementation of the ALIS Policy
Administration Solution, KBC will benefit from re-engineered business processes which
enable remote agents to process illustrations, complete sales transactions, process new
business, and respond to policy inquiries quickly and efficiently. The development and
launch of new and innovative products is designed to maintain and grow KBC's insurance
business in Belgium.
KBC's senior general manager of life insurance, Dirk Van Liempt, said, "The Sapiens &
KBC teams have demonstrated high skills and dedication to the success of the project. The
feedback from our agent users has been nothing but positive and we look forward to taking
full advantage of all the functionality and flexibility the ALIS solution offers as we
continue to expand our use of the system."
The next phase of implementation will include the development and deployment of a new
Group Modern product. All current policies are being converted to the new ALIS system
early 2013, with the existing system planned for decommissioning by the end of next year.
Roni Al-Dor, Sapiens President & CEO, added, "KBC is a strategic client for Sapiens
and has helped us to establish a stronger foothold in the European market. The working
relationship between our two teams has become a true partnership with a common focus on
enabling KBC to meet its business objectives. With the initial implementation now a
success, our combined teams are already on track for the subsequent phases of
implementation and full replacement of KBC Group Life's legacy system."
