Thomsons Online Benefits bolsters offering and boosts growth with latest round of partnerships

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's enterprises are expanding operations internationally. However, when it comes to executing HR processes, including benefits management, a heterogeneous approach in each region isn't scalable. Furthermore, this approach usually makes it impossible to gain insight into market, company, employee and financial trends. To solve these challenges, the world's largest multinational enterprises have turned to Thomsons Online Benefits' Darwin™ platform for effective global employee benefits administration and engagement, including global clients Netapp and Samsung in 2015. Seven of the top 10 global tech companies and six out of the top 10 global brands now use Darwin™.

As part of its commitment to improve the global HR landscape, Thomsons also developed agreements with some of the world's most trusted providers of Enterprise Human Capital solutions and consulting services in the last year, enhancing its offerings and streamlining HR processes for global enterprises. These customer wins and partner collaborations have resulted in yet another year of significant financial momentum for Thomsons.

The company has seen success with global enterprise customers, with more than half of SaaS bookings from multi-country global enterprise deals. In fact, Darwin is now operating in 80 countries with over 30 multi-country benefits implementations to-date in 25 languages. As enterprises continue to recognize the value of global benefits management solutions, Thomsons saw 100 percent retention of enterprise clients.

"We believe that our technology platform, Darwin, goes above and beyond anything else that is available to enterprises, and it's clear from yet another year of impressive financial results that our customers feel the same way," commented Michael Whitfield, CEO of Thomsons. "This year in particular, we're especially excited to have formalized collaborations with some of the world's largest providers of Enterprise Human Capital solutions and consulting services. Our partnership strategy has not only led to financial success, but is also laying the groundwork for sustainable growth."

Darwin has been integrated with the following global corporations to address various challenges:

• Xerox – By integrating Darwin with Xerox's HR portal solution, Thomsons helps global enterprises uniformly assess compliance risk, inspire employee engagement and manage data related to the cost of benefits (local and total). The solution offers a single, standardized repository of information, consolidating all benefits data for the employer.
• Mercer – Through a new alliance with global consulting leader Mercer, Thomsons will provide streamlined administration, automation and enhanced communication of benefit plans through Darwin to multinationals looking to manage their global benefits programs. Mercer will provide global employee benefits brokerage and consulting to multinationals.
• NGA HR – Darwin is now integrated into NGA HR's market-leading global payroll and HR services, NGA Employee Benefits solution, allowing enterprises to have a unified benefits management solution for their entire workforce, irrespective of their country location and provide a single source of employee benefits data.

These strategic partnerships provide significant benefits to enterprises, enabling them to take a truly global approach to benefits while offering unparalleled flexibility in delivering benefits schemes that meet their unique needs.

"For years organizations have struggled to manage benefits data across multiple countries," said Amy Gurchensky, Senior Analyst at NelsonHall. "Over the last several years, Thomsons has continued to enhance its cloud-based Darwin platform while demonstrating consistent growth. The widespread use by global HR suppliers to integrate Darwin as part of a benefits or holistic HR solution validates that Thomsons is the preferred global benefits management platform in the market."
