Benefit Software Inc. Provides Personalized Employee Benefit Statement Service

Santa Barbara, CA - March 23, 2005 - Benefit Software Inc.

Benefit Software Inc. (www.bsiweb.com), a leading provider of employee benefits communication, helps corporations communicate the high cost of employer paid benefits by providing benefit statement services to its clients.

William Smith , V.P of Sales and Marketing at Benefit Software, says "many mid-size employers don’t have the time or expertise to produce personalized statements.  They tell us that they can collect the necessary employee data but don’t feel comfortable organizing that data into a professional quality, meaningful statement.  Our Professional Services team can step in at any point in the benefits communication process to help organizations affordably execute their strategic communications goals."

"The Benefit Software Professional Services team works with clients throughout the process, from strategy and statement design to data gathering and final production.  We also help clients evaluate whether traditional paper statements or hosted, Internet enabled statements are best suited to their communications goals.  In other words, we provide total outsourcing of the benefit statement process."

The HR Manager for a company with 300+ employees in Texas said, "We chose personalized employee benefits statements as the best way to give our employees an awareness of their employer paid benefits.  Our health insurance costs were going up and the company had to pass on some of these costs to the employees.  The statements are reinforcement to our employees that we offer a competitive benefit package.  We show the value of the health and dental, highlight the generous 401(k) match, and the expense to provide paid time off."

"We chose Benefit Software to handle this project because the fee was affordable and they were able to meet our tight deadline. The value of the statements definitely outweighed the fee to produce them.  The statements were professional and received positive feedback from both the employees and managers.  Our Benefit Software project manager was great; he was able to consolidate and reformat our data and made suggestions to help us meet our communications goals."

Benefit Software Inc. provides clients with three options when it comes to producing personalized benefits statements.  They can purchase Fringe Facts® Communicator software to create statements in-house or they can engage BSI to design and produce printed employee statements or host a 24/7 employee benefits communication portal.
