Our Opportunity • As part of Annual Benefits Enrollment, historically distributed printed personalized enrollment guides to all eligible team members • Worked with an external vendor to produce guide, causing issues: • Personal data in guide was stale • Cost was prohibitive • No electronic versions available • No tracking of use, etc. • All paper guides not very green
Our Desire • Bring the process in-house by leveraging our 5+ years of experience with the software: • Discontinue use of outside vendor • Distribute electronically • Use fresh data • Enable use tracking • Cut costs dramatically • Be environmentally sensitive
Complications • Legal Requirements • Real-time or batch? • Service center considerations
Solutions • Legal Requirements • Created a log to capture when a TM accessed the guide • Created and stored effective-dated versions of the XSL templates • Merged effective-dated PS row data with the appropriate template
Solutions • Real-Time or Batch? • Identified that real-time was not an option with load testing (found solution just before implementation) • Created online page for team members • Included run control to allow us to move to real-time by flipping a switch
Solutions • Service Center Considerations • Customized screen for HRSC • Print effective-dated documents on demand • See historical data as needed for research
Results • Produced 260,000 32-page pdf’s over a long weekend and stored them on a server • Enabled the real-time option without system impact after the initial rush • Tracked usage by team members • Produced very significant financial savings • Eliminated millions of pages of printed media
Sample 2012 Annual Benefits Enrollment LAJUANA VANDEHEY, this is your personalized enrollment guide
Since then… • Eliminated the last of our W2 forms requirements • Re-engineered benefits confirmation statements
