Ease, a leading HR and benefits software solution for SMBs, insurance brokers, and insurance carriers, announced that in partnership with Guardian Life, real-time connections are now available to help reduce the complexity of benefits administration and improve the benefits experience for employers and employees. Available through the Guardian EaseConnect+ connection, the benefit enrollment process will be faster and seamless as a result of the Application Programming Interface (API), which includes an Evidence of Insurability (EOI) API and Member Benefits API.
