The API powered FINEOS Engage Smart Connectors use machine learning segmentation models to make data transformation faster, easier and more accurate. Conventional processes of transferring data between employee benefit administration systems and BenAdmins (benefit administrators) often encounter numerous hurdles. One of the most notable hurdles is the risk to data integrity due to manual processes and rekeying data, which in turn significantly impacts operational efficiencies. Additionally, multiple data formats used to exchange data across the workstream can make data transformation cumbersome.
