By integrating Microsoft Azure OpenAI and Azure Power Virtual Agents, Israel's Sapiens will offer generative AI solutions to insurance companies.

The Israel-based Sapiens International Corporation, a prominent global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, has announced an agreement with Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service. The collaboration aims to leverage the power of advanced generative artificial intelligence (AI) models and tools to revolutionize the insurance sector.

By integrating Microsoft Azure OpenAI and Azure Power Virtual Agents, Sapiens will offer generative AI solutions to insurance companies, enabling customers to effortlessly navigate complex documents such as policies and terms and conditions using natural language AI models.

Sapiens offers a cloud-based SaaS insurance platform that enables insurers to innovate and go digital, providing comprehensive solutions for property and casualty, workers' compensation, and life insurance markets, covering core functions and several other fields.

Sapiens-Microsoft AI partnership

The alliance between Microsoft's AI technology and Sapiens' AI, cognitive services, and process automation is set to empower insurers at every stage of the insurance value chain. By combining forces, the partnership aims to enable instant responses across diverse customer interaction areas, in multiple languages, resulting in an enhanced overall customer experience. Moreover, it will substantially decrease the overwhelming influx of calls handled by live agents and other staff members. Additionally, it will streamline the daily operations of underwriters, leading to faster claims processing and improved fraud detection capabilities.
