Sapiens ALIS Sets New Records on
Over-Night and Month-End Data Processing
All end-to-end batches were completed in less than two hours
Orlando, FL – MAY 15, 2012 – At the ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum Sapiens International Corporation N.V. (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS), a global provider of innovative insurance software solutions, announces today the detailed results of Sapiens ALIS benchmark on IBM AIX 6, running on Power 6 and Power 7 machines, as conducted at IBM labs in Hursley, UK. With a database of over 800,000 active policies, ALIS was found to be fully capable of handling high load scenarios.
The benchmark test confirms that ALIS is one of the most powerful and robust Life & Pensions applications in the world, suitable for Tier-I and global insurance companies. The results indicated that the system is fully scalable, in a nearly linear way, over the platform used.
All end-to-end overnight batches (including month-end) were completed in less than two hours on the Power 7 configuration and in less than two and a half hours on the Power 6 configuration. The main executed batches were Charges; Billing; Payment dispersal; General Ledger extract; Audit Control; Renewal; and letters production.
Commenting on benchmarking, Mr. Juergen Weiss, Senior Analyst at Gartner, said: “Benchmarking is an important aspect for insurers to assess the future performance of their core insurance application. Gartner sees a tendency among international insurers to establish cross-border transactions, which makes those benchmarks even more important. “
Mr. Roni Al-Dor, President & CEO of Sapiens stated: “This benchmark demonstrates the capabilities of ALIS to scale up to the large data processing volumes of Tier-I and global insurers worldwide. I am confident that our customers will find it as a practical aid in planning their computing needs to support their business growth.”
