Sapiens, led by CEO Roni Al-Dor, is part of the Formula Group, and develops software solutions for insurance companies. The company has a market cap of $604 million.
Sapiens's Israel operations are located in Holon. At the end of 2016, the company had 1,928 employees worldwide including 862 employees in Israel - 45% of the workforce.
In April, the company announced that it was halting work with a major customer and subsequently cut its guidance for 2017. Shortly afterwards the company published and announced a reorganization plan including layoffs.
