Des Moines-based Businessolver has released its Benefits Technology Buyer's Guide, which includes the HR benefits administration company's tips for finding the best HR technology partner available. 

"The Benefits Technology Buyers' Guide: 10 Tips To Master The Purchasing Process" details the why, who, what, where and when, as well as other tips, for HR professionals who are seeking a benefits administration technology partner for their organization. 

Recommendations for HR professionals covered in the guide include looking at HR data when researching a benefits technology provider, in addition to taking into account feedback from those who have used the platform; analyzing industry and workforce trends; and stepping outside the HR leader's type of thinking and "putting yourself in your employee's shoes." 

Other suggestions included in the guide are to not be distracted by the latest and greatest "shiny object" that a vendor may offer, but to seek balance and not forget about the most "basic tech tenets in benefits administration."

The guide also touches on the need to evaluate potential benefits administration vendors on their experience and their clients; including your company's IT department in the research process; and  having a "finalists' meeting" with your potential benefits technology vendor.

Founded in 1998 by HR professionals, Businessolver provides market-changing benefits administration technology.
