Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based health exchange and

private exchange using PlanSource OneMarket. Launched in 2014,
PlanSource OneMarket provides standard benefit products and

compliance and administration. Employees are offered step-by-step
guidance and personalized plan recommendations during the shopping
and enrollment process. Content such as videos, documents, tools
and messages can be personalized depending on consumer
demographics, geographic location, family status and benefit
