The implementation accelerates HGR’s complete core transformation for Life & Pensions

UXBRIDGE, England, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sapiens International Corporation, (NASDAQ: SPNS) (TASE: SPNS), a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, announced today that South Africa’s Hollard Group Risk (HGR), a division of Hollard Life Insurance Company Limited, has gone live with Sapiens DataSuite, to accelerate the complex migration of HGR’s business and align processes with Sapiens CoreSuite for Life & Pensions. DataSuite will support the transition period between the core system and HGR’s legacy system.

Sapiens DataSuite supports the complex launch of CoreSuite by producing actionable insights and automated, consolidated reports across HGR legacy system and CoreSuite system among all lines of business to deliver maximum business value. Among its many benefits, DataSuite empowers HGR with the ability to manage their data and reporting needs and seamlessly operate their business as usual during the migration from their legacy policy administration system. The solution provides HGR with a detailed suite of operational, claims, underwriting, financial, risk and actuarial reports. 

In addition, integrating DataSuite with HGR’s legacy policy administration system and CoreSuite significantly reduces the complexities of the migration process, which required complicated development of tailored reports and merging of reports across the legacy and CoreSuite systems. CoreSuite’s policy administration system includes the full range of group scheme processing including enrolment via file for bulks or manually for a single member, periodical payroll processing, premium payments, commission and binder fee calculations, renewal calculations, and claims. 

“The implementation of DataSuite propels our long and trusted relationship with Sapiens to a new level of partnership,” said Duran Chetty, HGR’s COO & CIO. “Sapiens CoreSuite for Life & Pensions is replacing our core legacy system to drive down operational costs and deliver automated, seamless user experiences for customers, alliance partners, and HGR staff. CoreSuite and DataSuite will also help accelerate our digital transformation objectives. Sapiens’ dedicated data solution and data warehouse have stepped in to handle our existing business volumes, while accommodating expected growth.”  

“Sapiens delivered HGR a complete transformation package to accelerate their market position and reduce the complexities of their reporting requirements,” said Roni Al-Dor, Sapiens President and CEO. “HGR’s launch of Sapiens CoreSuite was the first comprehensive group risk implementation in South Africa, and we are excited to see the continuation of this project with DataSuite and to accompany HGR as they expand.”

Sirius Signal Supplies World’s Largest Boating Club With Modern Electronic Visual Distress Signal Devices

Published

Freedom Boat Club — subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation — equips corporate club boats with state-of-the-art SOS flashing distress lights

PEND OREILLE, Idaho, May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Sirius Signal, the world’s leader in marine safety distress signal innovation and manufacturing, announced today it is providing its high-performance single visible white color plus non-visible infrared SOS flashing distress light to Freedom Boat Club’s fleet. The Model C-1004 electronic boat flare and daytime distress flag is U.S. Coast Guard approved to meet all visual distress signal requirements. Together both provide greater safety for boaters — it also replaces dangerous and toxic pyrotechnic marine flares.

“We have recognized that our club members should have safe, effective and easy to deploy distress signals should any emergency arise on the water,” said Nic Thomas, senior director of club operations.

“We have recognized that our club members should have safe, effective and easy to deploy distress signals should any emergency arise on the water,” said Nic Thomas, senior director of club operations.

In combination with the distress light, a suction cup mount is provided for club members to display it safely above their line of sight. A video linked by a dynamic QR code gives Freedom Club boaters education and instructions on proper use.

“Our SOS visual distress signal products paired with ‘how to and when to use’ instructions provide invaluable operational safety for Freedom Boat Club members,” said Anthony Covelli, Sirius Signal CEO. “This is foundationally what Freedom Boat Club emphasizes in its Unlimited Boat Training Program.”

Continued adoption of these modern electronic signal devices makes sense because they are superior to pyrotechnic marine flares. In addition, they require purchase just one time and eliminate the need for disposal of toxic waste.
