(NASDAQ: SPNS) today announced that one of its large European customers has extended the initial multi-platform euro conversion project it recently awarded to Sapiens to manage the changeover of the company's IT systems to the single European currency. The follow-on project is valued at a minimum of $7 million. The initial phase of every euro migration project involves the mapping of the customer's IT system components into a dynamic repository using Sapiens' unique Euro Configuration Repository ("ECR"). This mapping and configuration process, which essentially gives the customer a "snapshot" of its IT system capabilities and requirements, has the potential to reveal additional euro migration or other IT solution needs that were not contemplated at the start of the customer relationship. The current follow-on project identifies supplemental euro migration requirements that significantly increase the initial size of the customer engagement. Commenting on the follow-on project, Mr. Saadia Essoudry, Vice President, Sapiens France, emphasized that "this project expansion should not be viewed as an isolated event. Our customers throughout Europe have been impressed with the capabilities of our ECR technology and realize that this dynamic repository, coupled with our project know-how, may be exploited to improve their IT systems in a manner that is far beyond the scope of euro migration projects. Therefore, we plan to leverage our ECR solution technology to win follow-on projects as well as initial engagements in the burgeoning fields of e-commerce and enterprise application integration."
