NEWARK, N.J. – Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU) announced today that its Group Insurance business has collaborated with Ideon, a leader in data exchange and connectivity solutions, to deliver unique technology solutions for benefits eligibility and enrollment processes for workplace clients and their employees.
As employers expand their benefits offerings to attract and retain top talent, the need for fast, safe and efficient benefits administration has never been greater, with high expectations around data exchange between providers, employers and the benefit administration systems they use. Through this strategic relationship with Ideon, Prudential aims to improve the accuracy of enrollment data, help reduce the administrative workload for human resources teams, and seek new and innovative ways to ensure accurate enrollment and eligibility data. The collaboration will also allow Prudential to expand integrations with certain benefit administration systems where connectivity is limited today.
“We are committed to providing a superior experience for our clients and their employees,” said Jess Gillespie, head of product and underwriting for Prudential Group Insurance. “Enhancing Prudential’s digital connectivity makes it faster and easier for groups, and their employees, to enroll in workplace benefits.”
The initial phase of the collaboration focuses on expediting the data exchange process that impacts the onboarding process, including enrollment and eligibility information.
“This relationship signifies a major step forward for Ideon and Prudential,” said Steve Swad, CEO of Ideon. “Our data solutions will enable Prudential to deliver a fast, seamless, and accurate benefits enrollment and administration experience. We are excited to support Prudential in enhancing their platform ecosystem.”
