The large-scale modernization is aimed at digitizing products and journeys through a low-code, digital front-end with strong integration capabilities. Hollard, already a long-term partner of Sapiens, with Sapiens CoreSuite for Life & Pension and Sapiens ReinsuranceMaster, chose to further leverage Sapiens’ digital expertise, superior UI/UX experience and international insurance-specific best practices.

Elpha Secure selected Socotra to complement its proprietary technology and launch a new cyber insurance product for a variety of industries.
