Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont purchases VUE IncentivePoint software
to overhaul their incentive compensation and agent management capabilities
VUE IncentivePoint will help to drive agent relationships and create additional
value sought after by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont in their field organization
and back office operations
Coconut Creek, Florida, 4/18/2007 — Computer Solutions and Software International,
Inc. (CSSI), today announced that Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont (BCBSVT),
Vermont’s largest single health carrier, and one of only three carriers operating
in Vermont, had very specific needs when it came to incentive compensation management.
BCBSVT required a flexible solution able to process a variety of commission and
incentive programs for its Brokers with the capability to integrate immediately
with their Enrollment & Billing system. Further, the solution needed to be able
to integrate with future regulatory and policy demands and allow BCBSVT to easily
adapt its business rules in an ever-changing marketplace. VUE IncentivePoint is a powerful, flexible and intuitive tool that makes it easy for insurers to organize
and streamline complex commission and incentive programs.
“BCBSVT had clearly defined its needs and was in the process of carefully evaluating vendor solutions
to meet those needs, now and for the future, when they came to us.” said Stephen Bruno, President and
CEO of CSSI. “We understood what they were looking for and knew that VUE IncentivePoint could deliver
everything they wanted and more. Our understanding of our client’s business is a hallmark of working with
CSSI and demonstrates why we have so many long-term clients.” BCBSVT currently utilizes a custom developed
system to calculate and process all broker commissions and bonuses. The current system is limited in meeting
the growing business requirements of the organization. The custom system does not easily provide the workflow,
reporting and auditing capabilities that are required to meet BCBSVT’s business needs.
"After completing a thorough evaluation of vendors offering Incentive Compensation
Management solutions, we selected CSSI’s VUE ICM due to the flexibility of configuration,
intuitive user-interface, web portal capability for Brokers and most importantly,
the knowledgeable staff at CSSI who are committed to success within the health care
insurance industry. We are looking forward to improved audit controls, internal
efficiencies and the ability to implement innovative commission and incentive programs
that benefit the Broker, Employer, Member and BCBSVT." said Ellen Yakubik, BCBSVT
Marketing Director.
VUE IncentivePoint addresses each of BCBSVT’s concerns and will allow the
BCBSVT marketing team to concentrate on growing their broker relationships and designing
incentive programs that are innovative and responsive to market needs. The VUE IncentivePoint is robust and comprehensive and provides customizable modules to maintain
agent related information, product information, agent policies with premiums attached,
compensation and commission calculation, and customized reports generation. It is
also synchronized to contain carrier, home office and other administrative information
as desired. Over the past decade and a half, CSSI has been leveraging its in-depth
insurance industry knowledge with "lessons learned" and business acumen to deliver
innovative solutions that provide customer quality with measurable ROI. Utilizing
VUE, CSSI will provide BCBSVT with a "total solution". Our implementations include
software, installation, training and enhancements at a fixed, not-to-exceed cost.
We guarantee our deliverables and we have been doing it for over 15 years.
