Enterprise Portal for Real Time Visualization
Enrollment Alliance is revolutionizing the employee benefits and enrollment industry with innovative technology and techniques.
The Overview
Enrollment Alliance (EA) is revolutionizing the employee benefits and enrollment industry with innovative technology and techniques designed to enhance the communication experience between employers, Human Resources departments, and employees. Their mission is to utilize their expertise and proprietary technology to remove the chaos and stress associated with the Open Enrollment process.
The
Challenge
After years of iterations and experimenting, EA was unable to find the perfect software solution (or combination of various tools) to manage the Open Enrollment process and create visibility across companies’ HR departments, insurance brokers, and employees. This is a complex process that must be executed during a small window of time, so eliminating the human reliance handling and automating processes was crucial to success. Combining their industry experience and product vision, they had a solution in mind, but needed a software development partner to engineer the application.
The
Solution
EA partnered with MercuryWorks to build a custom portal and powerful collaboration tool. The application created a plane in which all involved parties, from the insurance broker to the employee, could easily digest what’s happening and what’s next during the enrollment window, in real time. HR departments are now able to manage employees across all locations, and employees are given step-by-step directions on how to execute on their enrollment. Insurance Brokers can easily view the data for all companies in their business portfolio, keeping them informed every step of the way.
The
Results
Upon completion, the Portal provided unprecedented visualization and reporting capabilities to all parties involved in the Open Enrollment process, drastically reducing friction during the open enrollment period. The role-based application allows brokers, agents, HR departments and enrollment specialists, and EA leadership to view aggregate company data at a high-level, understand progress, and identify any potential issues immediately, ensuring a healthy enrollment. The system communicates directly with employees, bringing a high-level of satisfaction due to the ease of onboarding.

Core Technology
.NET Framework
C#, MVC, Entity Framework and the .NET Framework were used to implement all business logic, data marshaling and UI rendering for the Connection application. Supporting use of modern CSS and JavaScript provided interaction and responsive display.
SQL Server
Provides a robust data storehouse and query platform to store all enterprise data, marshal data for integration and provide a source to the app’s API tier. In-cloud SQL Server was used to provide instant scalability and rapid querying.
Microsoft Azure
Provides database storage, web app, authentication and web services. Azure provides an ideal solution for back end mobile applications with a multi-data center Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud solution that requires extremely little oversight.
React
The React JavaScript framework provides the UI base for the entire system, providing rapid and smooth data fetching, storage and screen painting.
