BenefitPoint, Inc. Integrates with Enwisen to Provide Brokers and Consultants an Expanded Offering for Employer Clients |
|
| |
| |
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (October 6, 2005) — In a continuing effort to provide their broker and consultant customers with the best service offerings in
the highly competitive employee benefits market, BenefitPoint, Inc. and Enwisen announced today their rollout
of a completely integrated product offering for employers. |
|
|
| |
Aptus, BenefitPoint’s CRM and procurement application for the
employee benefits industry, has achieved widespread industry adoption with more than 400 broker and
consultant offices using the product, managing over 50,000 employer clients with over 40 million lives
and approximately $105 billion in premium. Brokers, consultants, health plans and carriers across the
nation have adopted BenefitPoint Aptus and are looking to integrate it with their internal and
client-facing systems. |
|
|
| |
Enwisen solutions provide "on demand" access to
personalized, up-to-date, accurate Benefits, HR and Total Compensation content & decision
support tools. Facing recent health care cost increases, employers now demand a complete and
easily accessible source of benefits information. Brokerage and consulting firms can now meet
this challenge by offering the added value of self-service through Enwisen’s BrokerSource portal. |
|
|
| |
The connection of these two platforms enables brokers to offer
their employers a powerful HR Intranet for employee self-service. Through Web services technology,
Aptus and BrokerSource are integrated to seamlessly transfer account and benefits data between the
two systems. The integrated solution provides employers with a complete overview of their benefits,
increasing customer satisfaction while reducing service costs and duplicate data entry for brokerage
and consulting firms. HR professionals benefit from real-time updates to their account and benefits
data and can build their own communications portals accessible at the employee level. |
|
|
| |
“The integration of Enwisen’s BrokerSource and BenefitPoint’s
Aptus means that our customers can now leverage the industry’s recognized best-of-breed applications
in a seamless, integrated environment, saving brokers time and money in delivering turnkey communications
solutions for clients, while leveraging single point data management through their Agency Management solutions,” said Barry Maxon, Enwisen’s EVP Product Strategy. |
|
|
| |
Kurt de Grosz, BenefitPoint SVP sales and marketing, added, “The completion
of Aptus / Enwisen integration is an exciting step forward for BenefitPoint. Our broker and consultant customers
now have an end-to-end employee benefits solution at their fingertips. We began by streamlining the cumbersome,
data-intensive RFP process on a single, web-based application, Aptus. We then extended the capabilities of Aptus
giving brokers extensive client service and business intelligence functions. Now we have closed the loop by
giving brokers the capability to extend their enterprise to the desktops of their customers with this real-time
integration with Enwisen.” |

Leading firms including ABD, Johnson & Dugan, Keenan,
and Lockton plan to provide this innovative data source to their employer clients and
are seeing immediate results from the integration. ABD utilizes this technology to
populate its exclusive online platform, ABDConnect. Large, multi-office firms are finding
the added incentive to manage their account and plan information on Aptus, realizing that
this integrated solution supplements their consulting services. |
