AI Integration for Sapiens CoreSuite

Integrating AI into Sapiens CoreSuite requires a clear map of its modular architecture. The primary integration surfaces are the Policy, Billing, and Claims modules, each with distinct data objects, APIs, and workflow engines. AI typically connects at three layers: 1) the data ingestion layer for enriching customer and policy records from external sources, 2) the process automation layer where AI agents trigger or respond to workflow events in the rules engine, and 3) the user interaction layer where copilots provide context to underwriters, claims handlers, and customer service agents within their native screens. The goal is to augment, not replace, the platform's robust core logic for rating, adjudication, and financial transactions.

Implementation follows a service-oriented pattern. AI services—hosted in your cloud or ours—interact with CoreSuite via its REST APIs and message queues. For example, an AI model analyzing regulatory change impact can be triggered by a scheduled job, fetch affected policy objects via API, run its analysis, and post recommendations back as notes or tasks to the relevant underwriting work queue. A customer profiling agent might listen to the CustomerUpdated event stream, call external data enrichment services, and update the unified customer profile without disrupting the billing cycle. This keeps AI logic decoupled, scalable, and auditable, leveraging CoreSuite as the system of record.

Rollout and governance are critical. Start with a single, high-impact workflow like automated endorsement review in Policy or next-best-action recommendations in the claims handler workspace. Use CoreSuite's existing role-based access controls (RBAC) and audit trails to govern AI-initiated actions; any AI recommendation that changes a financial reserve or policy term should route through the existing approval workflows. Monitor AI performance and business impact through the same dashboards used for CoreSuite operations, ensuring the integration drives measurable outcomes like reduced manual data entry, faster cycle times for complex reviews, or improved customer satisfaction scores from more proactive communications. For a deeper dive on orchestrating these cross-module workflows, see our guide on AI Integration for Insurance Core Systems.

A robust integration connects AI services to CoreSuite's primary modules via its APIs and event framework. For policy administration, AI models are triggered during underwriting or endorsement workflows, consuming application data and external sources to output risk scores or recommended questions, which are posted back to the policy record. For claims processing, the integration listens for FNOL creation events, automatically extracting data from attached documents (police reports, photos) to populate the claim file, flag potential fraud, and suggest an initial reserve and assignment path. In billing and collections, the system analyzes payment history and customer profiles to personalize dunning communication and recommend payment plans, executing through CoreSuite's communication engine.

Orchestration is managed by a middleware layer (often an integration platform or custom service) that handles authentication, rate limiting, prompt management, and fallback logic. This layer receives events from CoreSuite (e.g., Claim.Created), enriches the payload with relevant context from linked policy and contact records, calls the appropriate AI service (e.g., for document intelligence or next-best-action), and formats the response for CoreSuite's API. For human-in-the-loop workflows, the AI output and confidence score are written to a custom object or activity, triggering a task in a supervisor queue within CoreSuite for review and approval before any system action is taken.

Governance and rollout require a phased approach. Start with a single, high-impact workflow like automated document classification for claims. Implement strict logging of all AI inputs, outputs, and user actions for audit trails and model performance monitoring. Use CoreSuite's role-based access control (RBAC) to determine which users see AI suggestions. A successful pilot demonstrates clear operational lift—such as reducing manual data entry from 15 minutes to 2 minutes per FNOL—before expanding to more complex use cases like cross-module customer profiling or regulatory change impact analysis, ensuring each integration point is measurable, reversible, and aligned with existing business rules.

Governance starts with defining which CoreSuite modules and data objects the AI can access. For a typical integration, we map AI services to specific surfaces: Policy objects for customer profiling, Billing records for payment behavior analysis, and Claims modules for FNOL triage and document review. Access is enforced via the platform's native RBAC and API tokens, with all AI-generated actions—like creating a diary note or recommending a reserve change—logged in the system's audit trail for a complete lineage of human and machine activity.

Security is implemented through a zero-trust integration layer. Sensitive PII and PHI from CoreSuite are never sent directly to external LLMs. Instead, we deploy a secure proxy that strips identifiers or uses pseudonymization before routing queries to inference endpoints. For Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) use cases, vector embeddings are created from de-identified data and stored in a private cloud instance of a vector database like Pinecone or Weaviate, ensuring all retrieval and reasoning happens within your controlled environment. This pattern keeps raw customer data inside your perimeter while enabling AI-powered insights.

A phased rollout mitigates risk and builds organizational trust. Phase 1 often targets a single, high-volume, low-risk workflow—such as automating the classification of incoming claim documents in Sapiens Document Management—and runs in a 'copilot' mode where AI suggestions require adjuster approval. Phase 2 expands to a cross-module use case, like using AI to analyze policy history and billing data from CoreSuite to generate a unified customer profile for service agents, with results surfaced in a read-only dashboard. Phase 3 introduces closed-loop automation, such as AI-triggered workflow rules in the Sapiens Rules Engine for regulatory change impact analysis, but only after establishing confidence through monitored performance and clear rollback procedures. This incremental approach delivers quick wins while systematically addressing compliance, change management, and integration complexity.
