The service, being distributed and marketed by Sage Software as Sage Abra Benefits Messenger, is expected to automate the communication of employee benefits enrollment data with insurance and benefits carriers, thereby eliminating the need to submit paper enrollment forms or manually file carrier forms online, and helping to eliminate errors associated with duplicate data entry and missed enrollments.
The agreement allows Sage Software to license the Santeon Direct Enroll service and distribute it as an add-on to the Sage Abra HRMS suite of products, as well as process Sage Abra HRMS customers’ employee benefit enrollment information through the Santeon HR benefits clearinghouse.
Jessica Simmons, vice president and general manager of Sage Abra HRMS at Sage Software, said: With annual benefits enrollment quickly approaching, it is absolutely the best time to address benefits management and streamline the enrollment activities by fully automating the open enrollment process, as well as the ongoing benefits management and administration through Sage Abra HRMS and Sage Abra Benefits Messenger.
