consulting firms in the world has joined along with Catholic Mutual
Group and Blue Chip Benefits.
"Clients look to us for help with benefits challenges
year-round, beyond initial plan set up," said Anne Burkett, USI Insurance Services National
Practice Leader, HR Technology. "Technology is a fundamental part

provides our clients with consumer-friendly tools to manage their
benefits plans. It allows us to better partner in our clients'

gain access to new tools and insights that improve their ability to
support their client base and expand their service offerings.
Additionally, they receive dedicated support from Benefitfocus
throughout their customers' experience on the Benefitfocus

"These new programs strengthen our partnership and provide brokers
on the Benefitfocus Platform with the resources they need to
acquire, grow and retain clients as benefits become more complex
and competition increases."
