Automated Enrollment Finally Benefits Everyone

OnlineBenefits Launches Ready...Enroll Complete

Uniondale, NY (June 7, 2004) -- OnlineBenefits, Inc., provider of Internet-based HR solutions, announced the release of a new employee benefits management system called Ready...Enroll Complete that gives smaller companies access to Web-based enrollment technology for the first time.

Ready...Enroll Complete, a comprehensive benefits management application that is integrated into OnlineBenefits Benergy System, serves the needs of employers of all sizes. The application provides the feature-rich enrollment tools and extensive benefit reports found in large corporate enrollment systems, combined with sensible data uploads and extracts that make it suitable for smaller companies.

What is unique about Ready...Enroll Complete is that insurance brokers can install and operate it for their clients. This proven concept works well for OnlineBenefits and its 350 licensed broker partners who have deployed the Benergy communications portal for over 3,500 employers. These same partners can now be trained and certified to deploy the enrollment component using many of the skills they have already accumulated.

According to John Gedney, President of OnlineBenefits, Inc., We are giving our broker partners complete control over benefits enrollment and reporting for the first time. That makes it possible to drive down costs dramatically and deliver a bigger bang for the employers buck. We believe this truly is enrollment for everyone."

Ready...Enroll Complete also simplifies the data exchange process by allowing plan administrators to extract election data in standard spreadsheets or directly onto insurance carrier forms. That latter is pragmatic for carriers who demand paper enrollment forms, particularly for smaller employee populations.

Among other key features of Ready...Enroll Complete is its integration with Benergys communication portal. That marries the year-round education employees need to comprehend and use their benefit plans with the event-based transactions that occur less frequently.

The fusion of transactions and benefits management on the Benergy platform has spawned a uniquely affordable enrollment solution that can support insurance brokers serving mid-sized and smaller employers. The application also addresses the needs of larger corporations, where data feeds and extracts can be configured in a variety of formats to be shared electronically with carriers, payroll providers and HRMS applications.
