Sapiens International Corporation, a global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry has partnered with Absa Life to accelerate the firm’s digital transformation using the Sapiens Insurance Platform.
The collaboration marks a significant milestone in Absa Life’s long-term modernisation strategy. By implementing Sapiens’ suite of insurance solutions, Absa Life aims to simplify its core systems, improve customer engagement, and support its digital growth initiatives.
Absa Life selected the Sapiens CoreSuite for Life & Pensions as the backbone of its transformation efforts. The deployment will streamline legacy systems and enhance operational efficiency. In addition, Sapiens DigitalSuite will bolster Absa’s multichannel distribution approach by enabling “deep linking” with Salesforce. Sapiens DataSuite will provide unified data management across the new and existing systems, laying the groundwork for improved business intelligence and real-time insights powered by AI.
Sapiens, headquartered in Israel, offers AI-based, open, integrated software platforms to insurance providers worldwide. Its Insurance Platform is designed to enable rapid innovation, market responsiveness, and operational agility. The CoreSuite solution provides end-to-end core operations support, while DigitalSuite is a future-proof, cloud-native digital engagement suite. DataSuite helps insurers maximise data value and insight-driven decision making, and Cloud Services offer scalable, all-in-one cloud infrastructure and management.
Absa Life, a subsidiary of Absa Group, is a leading South African life insurer with a focus on customer-centric insurance offerings. With this platform, Absa Life is not only strengthening its funeral business line but also preparing for future scalability and innovation through cloud-native and AI-enhanced solutions.
New AI models are currently in development by Sapiens for the DataSuite platform. These models will enable Absa Life to gain predictive insights and further streamline its operations, bringing agility and intelligence to its services.
Absa Life future fit programme director Michelle Niemand said, “The successful implementation of this platform is an important milestone for Absa Life. It simplifies our core operations, supports our digital ambitions, and allows us to respond more effectively to customer needs in a dynamic market. We’re excited about what this means for our future.”
Sapiens president and CEO Roni Al-Dor said, “This is a key moment in Absa Life’s transformation journey and it is extremely exciting that Sapiens is developing two new AI models as part of Absa’s platform. Our partnership reflects a shared vision of building a modern, agile insurance business, able to respond quickly to market needs and customer expectations. This successful go-live positions Absa Life to further consolidate legacy systems, scale new offerings, and leverage the power of AI-driven innovation.”
