                  Impact Analysis as First Phase of Project


    RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., March 21 Sapiens
International Corporation N.V. today announced that Robert
Bosch GmbH, one of the most important suppliers of automotive equipment
worldwide ("Bosch"), has entered into a euro transition project agreement with
Sapiens regarding the changeover of Bosch's IT host systems to the single
European currency.  The agreement follows the successful implementation of a
pilot project, in which Sapiens addressed the full range of business as well
as technical issues related to the euro changeover.
    The first phase of the project includes the mapping of Bosch's system
components into a configuration repository, followed by a comprehensive impact
analysis of the euro changeover on Bosch's IT host systems.  At the customer's
request, financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
    The Sapiens team will work with Bosch on all business as well as technical
aspects of the project, including the identification of Bosch's business
needs, the delineation of the scope of the project and the planning,
coordination and implementation of all functional and technical aspects of the
euro transition effort.
    Sapiens will employ its EuroMigration(TM) solution, including the Euro-
Virtual-Machine(TM) and Euro Configuration Repository (ECR) technologies.
Sapiens will manage the project at the customer site with the assistance of
its international support facilities.
    Commenting on the project, Dr. Stefan Ihringer, the responsible manager
for the euro project, said:  "We selected Sapiens from a field of several
leading vendors.  The Sapiens team has impressed us with the level of its
skill and its innovative solution to the euro transition challenge.  Sapiens
