Sapiens to acquire Danish insurance firm Tia Technology

Sapiens International Corporation, a global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Tia Technology, a leading vendor of digital software solutions, from the global investment organization EQT Mid Market. 

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed by end of this month, Sapiens said in its press release.

Headquartered in Denmark, Tia Technology has over 20 years of experience and nearly 70 customers globally, primarily in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, South Africa and the Baltics. The company offers comprehensive software solutions primarily for Property & Casualty insurers as well as Life and Pension, Health, and several innovative extension modules. Additionally, Tia offers a full scope of expert implementation, application management and hosting services, enabling insurers to execute their digital and business strategies.

Sapiens will continue to develop and support Tia’s products and serve its customers, who can now benefit from Sapiens’ variety of offerings. In addition, Sapiens will leverage the insurance domain knowledge of Tia’s 200 employees to further expand Sapiens P&C and L&P offerings in their respective regions in which it operates.  

Sapiens’ strategic market presence in the Nordics started nearly 5 years ago with the winning of its first customers in the region and has further expanded in recent years. In line with Sapiens’ strategy, the increased local presence through Tia’s acquisition demonstrates Sapiens’ commitment to this region and is a key factor for continued focus on this market. Tia’s management and team will allow Sapiens to better service this market and further grow in the region.

“This further investment by Sapiens is great news particularly for the Nordic insurance industry, but also further afield as two successful, international vendors join forces,” said Craig Beattie, Senior Analyst with Celent’s insurance practice. “The broad offerings along with complementary digital capabilities on both sides present an exciting opportunity for the combined customer base and employees.”

“I’m pleased to welcome the Tia team and customers as we strive to create additional value for the insurance market. The Nordics are a significant growth driver for Sapiens,” said Roni Al-Dor, Sapiens’ President and CEO. “We remain committed to exploring new opportunities for growth, organic as well as through mergers and acquisitions. This acquisition is in line with our strategy to expand our European market footprint, following recent acquisitions in Iberia and the DACH regions.”

“I want to thank Anders S. Rosenbeck and his management team for their tireless dedication and passionate work over the past few years, taking Tia to the strong position it is in today. EQT is happy to have found a such a great new home for Tia with Sapiens, who will be an excellent partner in supporting the company’s next stage of growth,” said Victor Englesson, Partner at EQT.

“Together, Tia and Sapiens will create exciting new opportunities for employees, customers and prospects,” said Anders S. Rosenbeck, CEO of Tia Technology. “Energized for the future, we eagerly look forward to seamlessly integrating with Sapiens to serve the market.”
