Businessolver Partners With Select Carriers To Provide A Superior Benefits Experience For Clients And Their Employees

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Businessolver®, a leader in SaaS-based benefits administration technology and services, today announced the launch of their exclusive Pinnacle Program with preferred voluntary benefits carriers and partners. These strategic partnerships between Businessolver and a range of select benefits carriers will ensure that supplemental benefits options from our partners are fully integrated into the Benefitsolver® platform. The Pinnacle Program will make it easier for members to enroll, and it improves data exchange and management. Strategic team collaboration between Businessolver and partners in the Pinnacle Program also provides the opportunity for all organizations to share marketplace learnings and develop benefits offerings that meet members’ diverse needs. 

“Our strategic partnerships ensure integration throughout the benefits administration lifecycle so that our clients and their employees have better benefits experiences and see positive outcomes for employees and businesses as a whole,” says Michelle Lockhart, Strategy Practice Leader, Carrier Relations, at Businessolver. 

The Pinnacle Program facilitates enhanced benefits engagement for employers and their employees alike. By providing tight data integration across carriers and highly efficient operations, this program makes it easier for members to fully use all of the voluntary offerings that play a role in their total well-being. It’s advantageous for clients because it allows organizations to support their employees engaging with and maximizing their benefits investments. This, in turn, can improve employee retention and productivity by addressing physical health, mental health, and financial well-being.

Partners dedicated to elevating the employee experience
Businessolver will continue to expand this program in the future and is delighted to announce that the following organizations are participating in the Pinnacle Program:

Deepening strategic relationships to drive consistency

Businessolver’s partners look to our organization as a trusted voice on the evolving benefits marketplace, and we look to our partners for the highest quality products and services available so together we offer the right benefits, in the right place, at the right time. By implementing deeply strategic integrations, all organizations involved can provide a more consistent and seamless benefits experience at every touchpoint with clients and members.

This improved experience brings a multi-faceted approach, emphasizing people, process, and technology. Having dedicated teams from Businessolver and each partner organization means that our people are continually working together in a strategic, collaborative fashion. This program harmonizes data and establishes common processes for all partners. Our technology also leverages Businessolver’s LiveKinnect^SM system for inbound and outbound connections to third-party systems, which enhances our partners’ integration with Benefitsolver®. This depth of partnership allows Businessolver and our partners to support each other, and our mutual clients, operationally as well as strategically.

“We’re building relationships throughout our organizations to create truly unified partnerships,” says Lockhart. “These industry-first connections are at a different level than typical partnerships, and they leverage expertise across all of our organizations to bring the best that we have to offer to our clients and their employees who rely on their benefits for physical, mental, and financial well-being.”
