"We've seen the average number of benefit types offered by employers grow to 15 or more," said Ray August, President and CEO, Benefitfocus. "BenefitsPlace significantly reduces employers' risk, making it easier than ever to manage the growing number of plans that gives consumers better choice. We are driving down complexity for the employer's benefits administration and standardizing data integrations with product providers."

Benefitfocus launched its BenefitsPlace Integration Community at an event held at the company's Charleston, S.C. headquarters, May 17-18.
