Windsor, CT, June 21, 2005 - Vertafore Benefits, a leading provider of software and automation services for employee benefits brokers, announced today it has selected LifeCare Inc.’s award-winning web site for its state-of-the-art employee portal application. The addition of LifeCare’s web site to its portal gives small and mid-sized employers the ability to offer workers a variety of life-oriented benefits that traditionally only large employers provided.
Under the arrangement, the LifeCare web site will become an integral part of BenefitsCenter, Vertafore’s powerful benefits administration application for brokers. The BenefitsCenter application includes portals for brokers, employers and employees. The LifeCare content will reside in the employee portal, allowing employers to provide workers access to interactive tools and specialized resources to help them manage their personal and professional lives.
The web site offers more than 60,000 pages of content and dozens of interactive tools and resources all designed to help workers with a variety of issues including their physical and emotional wellbeing, child and adult care needs, financial and legal issues, health care and personal fitness, finances and retirement planning,
"We are excited to be working with LifeCare and see this as a win-win situation for brokers, employers and their employees," said S. Stuart Spector, general manager of Vertafore Benefits. "Brokers have a new product offering that will add value, increase profitability and strengthen client relationships. At the same time, their employer clients have access to world-class life resources that will help boost employee productivity and satisfaction."
"We’re delighted to be partnering with an industry leader like Vertafore and to help them expand the depth of services," said Thomas A. Carey, Managing Director of Sales for LifeCare. "Traditionally, benefits such as LifeCare were found primarily among Fortune 500 companies. Now-thanks to our relationship with Vertafore-brokers, small and mid-sized businesses, and their employees all can benefit. And being able to compete with large companies from a benefits standpoint is a huge advantage to smaller employers."
