A.D.A.M.’s AgencyWare Accelerates Employee Portal Construction for Brokers

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A.D.A.M., Inc. (NASDAQ: ADAM), the leading provider of high-quality health information and benefits technology solutions, today announced a new feature for AgencyWare, its agency management system for benefits brokers. The new feature, called “Send to Benergy,” enables brokers to leverage benefit plan data stored in AgencyWare to instantly update employee portals. Besides eliminating redundant work, “Send to Benergy” helps brokers modernize their clients’ employee communications and achieve greater client retention.

“We spend a lot of time finding the right plans for our clients and then making sure they have the right information for their employees”

A.D.A.M.’s AgencyWare – used by more than 150 agencies nationwide – gives brokers a comprehensive system for client management, sales, service and commission tracking. But until now, brokers didn’t have the ability to take that valuable information and repackage it for employee consumption. With the “Send to Benergy” feature, plan details within AgencyWare can be immediately sent to employee communications portal templates within Benergy™, A.D.A.M.’s award-winning employee benefits and health management portal. Employers looking for better benefits communication will get more value from brokers who can implement effective portals for them.

“We spend a lot of time finding the right plans for our clients and then making sure they have the right information for their employees,” said Jack Bruce, COO of BIS Benefits, a Georgia-based brokerage firm and AgencyWare user. “Our clients expect employee communications from us in a timely fashion, but entering information into Benergy can be time-consuming. Being able to seamlessly do this through AgencyWare is a big advantage, as it makes the communication process more efficient and saves us time and money in building portals for our clients.”

“High-quality employee portals have become a must-have service for benefits brokers to win and keep clients,” said Andrew Ceccon, chief marketing officer for A.D.A.M. “‘Send to Benergy’ may be a simple button in AgencyWare, but it removes a significant hurdle by speeding up the creation of portals for chronically time-strapped brokers. More importantly, brokers close the communications gap between employers and employees and look like heroes to their clients.”

A.D.A.M. will be offering a complimentary Webinar for brokers, called “Employee Communications: The New Frontier for Agency Management Systems,” on April 22, at 2 pm ET.
