What do we mean by “Benefits Reimagined” is Flexible & configurable?

  • Benefits Reimagined is flexible, from plan configurations to creating separate templates for various “Enrollment Offers” and “Communication Templates.”
  • Benefits Reimagined is designed to be configurable, offering customers flexibility in designing the look and feel of the system.
  • This allows customers to modify the system that reflects the organization’s unique business needs but prevents changes from being made that will disrupt the business in the future when software upgrades are required.
  • Because Benefits Reimagined is configurable, system updates are deployed in a fraction of the time and cost of a traditional legacy ERP system.

Extensible, but why should you care?

  • Application extension empowers the customers to add their custom code/logic and enhance the application per the business needs and personal touch to the solution. Some examples would be Benefits Salary calculation, Salary cut-off logic, Length of Service calculation, Imputed Income calculations, custom plan configuration, custom screens, custom fields, and many more.
  • The customer can either write Custom Logic in their sub-account level or re-use any custom code written & deployed in any Third-Party Cloud system.
  • We have more than 35+ such extension possibilities in our application.

OpenAI-powered Carrier Integration

OpenAI’s NLP models efficiently interpret the complex information in Carrier Companion Guides, packed with detailed instructions on data formats, field mappings, and transaction sets. The models are designed to understand data requirements and specifications thoroughly.

Extracting Relevant Information

The AI processes these guides to capture details such as field names, data types, and formatting rules. It identifies and categorizes various data components and their interrelations, including mapping values and fields between the Carrier Companion Guide and ANSI 834 files.

Generating Mapping Tables

OpenAI generates mapping tables from the extracted data that align values and fields between the Carrier Companion Guide and ANSI 834 files, ensuring accurate mappings through our business logic.

Automating Data Transformation Logic

Our system creates carrier-accepted format files and facilitates the smooth transfer of data between systems using various protocols, converting data as the companion guides require.

Integration with Benefits Reimagined

The mapping tables and transformation logic are integrated into the Benefits Reimagined Integration Platform, using custom code based on the AI-generated mappings to support efficient data exchanges.

Continuous L&I

OpenAI models continuously learn and improve, adapting to updates or new guides to maintain up-to-date and accurate mapping tables and ensure data integrity and accuracy in transformations.

Closed Loop Payroll

  • Closed loop payroll or 360-degree payroll, the administrator checks the payroll deduction against the amount the benefits administrator sent on the payroll file.
  • This ensures benefits administrator automatically recalibrates deductions with each subsequent payroll file.
  • This helps prevent employees from large deductions, the employer and benefits administrator can create company-specific rules per-pay thresholds, and retroactive deductions are automatically prorated.
  • An accounting-style payroll billing system that calculates payroll deductions based on the employee’s effective date of coverage and enrollment date.
  • Prevent errors in employee benefits expenses.
  • Interfaces with the payroll system to import payroll deductions and reconcile, calculating additional deductions and refunds when needed.
  • Improve payroll accuracy & benefits process improvement.
  • Avoids time spent on manual audits and interventions.
  • Calculates retroactive deductions when an employee misses a paycheck because he or she enrolled late or submitted a late-life event.
  • Define your payroll schedule, effective date windows, rules for retro deductions, adjustment thresholds, and more.
  • Maintain employee confidence & support financial well-being.

Unified Core Vs. Apps using multiple APIs

Integrating AI and Elasticsearch into business applications is crucial for success in a data-driven environment, and a unified core codebase is critical.  This unified approach enhances performance, simplifies development, provides a cohesive user experience, streamlines data management, and improves security.

In contrast, applications using multiple APIs face latency, complex maintenance, inconsistent user experiences, and increased security risks. Ultimately, choosing between a unified core and an API-driven architecture depends on the application’s specific needs and goals. Investing in a robust core is essential for effectively leveraging technology and fostering innovation and growth in the digital age.

High level of Automation with Intelligent Services

Automation

Automates processes through built-in integrations and cross-module communication, saving additional effort in designing the rules.

It generates intuitive notifications and alerts that prompt users to assist in faster decision-making.

Monitoring

The ISC tool allows customers to monitor and track all events generated, and admins have the flexibility to manage to turn on/off any notifications.

Custom integration with Benefits Reimagined

As all events are subscribed to by Benefits Reimagined applications,  with the integration of the Intelligent Services Center and Integration Center,  outbound and inbound integrations are built and managed by Benefits Reimagined. Our real-time integration with SuccessFactors picks up all changes through Intelligent Services e.g., an New Hire gets his or her enrollment notifications immediately as soon as HR Administrators create the new Hire record inside Employee Center.

Upgrade path

SAP SuccessFactors continues to enhance the list of available events and subscribers so that in the future, Benefits Reimagined can bring in more intimate integrations for various customers if needed.
