Its not everyday that the stats align so impeccably in human resources. Today, OnlineBenefits announced that it has signed its 400th benefits broker partner and that its 4,000th Benergy employee communication portal has gone live, just over 40 months after Benergy first donned the uniform.
Uniondale, NY (HRmarketer/PRWEB ) October 27, 2004 -- Its not everyday that the stats align so impeccably in human resources. Today, OnlineBenefits announced that it has signed its 400th benefits broker partner and that its 4,000th Benergy employee communication portal has gone live, just over 40 months after Benergy first donned the uniform.
In the HR industry, no Web-based employee application has enjoyed such strong market penetration in such a short time span. The 4,000 employers rely on the multi-award-winning Benergy to communicate with 890,000 employees, not including their spouses who also use the portal.
Whats remarkable is that this rapid adoption was made possible by group benefit brokers who at one time were timid about implementing Web technologies. When Benergy was released in early 2001, OnlineBenefits began to sign up brokers to commit to delivering Benergy to clients. With extraordinary training and support from OnlineBenefits customer service teams, partners have learned to successfully build employee portals on their own. In fact, they are bringing on an average of 150 new employers each month. Today, the company has amassed a network of 400 partners representing large national firms, regional players and local, independent brokers. Those same partners now have invited over 22,000 of their client contacts to their private portals, powered by OnlineBenefits Client Community technology.
We are obviously pleased with this milestone, but more importantly we are encouraged by the pent-up demand out there," said John Gedney, President of OnlineBenefits. The momentum is still building and partners tell us of their intentions to continue rolling out Benergy to their untapped clients."
At this pace, we expect to eclipse the one million employee user mark shortly," added Alan Cohen, CEO of OnlineBenefits. We attribute our growth to good products, our attention to market feedback, and a tireless devotion to making sure that our brokers are well-trained to achieve success with our solutions. This year, we expanded Benergy with online enrollment capabilities that will further broaden the appeal of the portal in the years ahead."
