Abbott/ONVOI Chooses BeneTrac Online Benefits Administration Program

 

San Diego, CA – May 15, 2001 – Hawthorne Benefit Technologies, Inc., developers of BeneTrac, today announced that Abbott/Onvoi has implemented the BeneTrac online benefits tracking solution to their base of more than 50 clients representing about 600 employees in 70 locations. Abbott/Onvoi is a leading Irvine, Calif.-based HR outsource solutions company offering a full range of HR products and services. They are best known for providing turnkey and customized HR administrative outsource solutions for small and mid-size companies.

Abbott/Onvoi's Human Resources Manager Rosetta Brown chose a benefits tracking system that had the ability to handle a high volume of enrollment requests and allowed her administrators access to information in real time. With BeneTrac, Brown and her staff can answer employee eligibility questions and make changes to their plans immediately.

Hawthorne Benefit Technologies, Inc. offers a state-of-the-art ASP which delivers a powerful benefits tracking system to a national base of employers. The Web-based technology provides a suite of applications that benefit all participants involved in the employee benefits process. Redundant data entry is eradicated as well as other inefficiencies that are inherent in the paper-based benefits administration system.

Depending on the level of access an employer chooses, employees may access their own benefits package, including plan descriptions, coverage and eligibility requirements. Additionally, BeneTrac enables human resource departments to:

  • Establish customized benefit plans
  • Offer Internet enrollment into plans
  • Use the Internet to update employer data and to calculate eligibility dates for new employees
  • Devise custom reports using Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel

Abbott/Onvoi is utilizing BeneTrac for both in-state and out-of-state clients for their health, dental, vision and life plans. Brown stated that as soon as the system was in place, the staff was able to use it almost immediately, adding, "We have not regretted, for one second, our decision to utilize BeneTrac."

According to Hawthorne Benefits Technology co-founder Jerry Hawthorne, "We see companies realizing a significant savings when they install an online benefits administration system. Abbott/Onvoi has completed their initial implementation and open enrollment. We will soon be adding additional features into their program."
