BNFT), a leading cloud-based benefits management platform and
services provider, is a finalist in the 2019 SaaS Awards
Program in the category Best UX/UI/Design in a SaaS Product.
The SaaS Awards program is now in its fourth year of celebrating
organizational successes and the software innovations that fuel
them.
With awards for excellence and innovation in SaaS, the
Software-as-a-Service Awards program accepts entries worldwide,
including the US, Canada,
Australasia, EMEA and UK.
Categories for the 2019 awards program include Best Data-Driven
SaaS Product and Best Enterprise-Level SaaS Product, alongside new
categories for Continuous Improvement and Catering and
Hospitality.
Due to the continuing volume of international applications,
categories for Best Enterprise-Level Product, Best Product for
Small Business, Best Data-Driven Product and Best for Product for
Productivity again include non-US categories to recognize and
celebrate the growing number of international software
innovations.
"For Benefitfocus to be shortlisted in Best UX/UI/Design in a
SaaS Product is a significant validation of our innovation and
success in the global software marketplace," said Benefitfocus
President and CEO Ray August. "It
also demonstrates the value of our ongoing commitment to improve
the customer experience by applying intuitive and thoughtful design
to the advancements we make in our AI-powered consumer platform –
shopping across our expanded catalogue of products, leveraging
smart recommendations or accessing it via our mobile app."
SaaS Awards and Cloud Awards organizer Larry Johnson said: "The standard of entries
this year was incredibly high, with consistent attention to
innovation and most importantly, customer success. The volume of
entries warranting consideration of a place on the coveted
shortlist was unprecedented.
"In our fourth year promoting SaaS exclusively alongside its
sister awards program, the Cloud Awards, we have again seen a wide
range of entries from Canada,
Europe, Australia and the East joining those from the
US. Moreover, again we are seeing such innovation from established
blue-chips to agile start-ups. All seek to provide essential
productivity tools to their users by leveraging cloud-based
software solutions. The judges are set to have a nearly impossible
task when selecting the final winners in a few short weeks."
Final SaaS Awards winners will be announced on Tuesday
27 August 2019 and the program will
return in Spring 2020. Over 400 organizations entered, with
