CHARLESTON, S.C., May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Benefitfocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT), a leading
cloud-based benefits management platform and services provider, has
been recognized by InfoArmor and Ultimate Software, two of the
company's integration partners, as a benefits industry innovator.
The companies each named Benefitfocus a winner of their partner
ecosystem awards for its commitment to excellence, impact and
collaboration in transforming the benefits industry.
Benefitfocus was awarded the 2019 Ecosystem Innovation Award at
this year's InfoArmor Partner Summit, an annual event that honors
the nation's best benefit brokers and ecosystem partners. The
Ecosystem Innovation Award, new this year, recognizes the
organization that best illustrates an unwavering commitment to
innovating technology and helping consumers navigate benefits
decisions for the moments that matter most.
"Innovation is a critical component of employee identity
protection and should play an equally important role in how
benefits are implemented, communicated, enrolled and managed," said
Meghann Carroll, InfoArmor EVP of
Sales. "We chose Benefitfocus as the recipient of this year's
Ecosystem Innovation Award due to its unending drive to continually
reinvent itself and the products it offers to employers and
consumers. Their commitment to innovation has made the entire
benefits community sharper, and it's helped InfoArmor further our
mission to protect employers, employees and their loved ones."
Benefitfocus was also recognized for its exceptional work as an
integration partner by Ultimate Software during the Partner Meetup
at the company's annual Connections Conference. Benefitfocus
associate Kevin Lauterbach was given
the 2019 MVP Award, the first and only time the award has been
given to an individual, in recognition of his work advancing the
Benefitfocus-Ultimate Software integration. The MVP Award
recognizes an individual who sets the bar for what it means to be
the "ultimate" team player: showing the highest level of
commitment, collaboration, communication and problem-solving.
"Benefitfocus is connecting the largest benefits ecosystem in
unprecedented ways to make everything about benefits easier for
consumers," said Benefitfocus CEO Ray
August. "We're honored to be recognized by our ecosystem
partners for the investments we are making to transform this
industry."
