The story

Sapiens International Corporation (founded 1982, Israel) is a publicly traded enterprise software vendor (NASDAQ: SPNS) that provides core insurance and financial services platform software to insurers, reinsurers, and financial institutions globally. Rather than being an embedded finance consumer itself, Sapiens serves as infrastructure for its insurance-carrier customers to build and distribute insurance products — including embedded insurance offerings. The company's blog and partner network activity (as cited by IBS Intelligence) reflects an insuretech innovation positioning, helping carriers modernize their core systems and participate in the embedded insurance distribution trend.
