AvMed Health Plans Selects Pivotal Healthcare Insurance Product Suite.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Pivotal Corporation and chinadotcom corporation (NASDAQ:CHINA)

Leading not-for-profit health plan to manage the complete sales cycle including new business, renewals and member relationships with Pivotal product suite

Pivotal Corporation, a CDC Software company, and a leading CRM solution provider for mid-sized enterprises, today announced that AvMed Health Plan, Florida's largest not-for-profit health plan, has selected Pivotal Healthcare Insurance to help manage the complete sales cycle, streamline administrative processes, and increase member satisfaction.

Headquartered in Florida, AvMed Health Plans has more than 30 years of experience serving Florida communities in all major metropolitan areas of the state. Through an extensive broker network, AvMed offers health care coverage on a fully insured and self-funded basis for large and small employer groups in Florida. Additionally, AvMed offers health care products to Medicare Beneficiaries in South Florida. With rising administrative costs and increased member and broker expectations for administrative service delivery, the company recognized the opportunity to automate many of the resource-consuming aspects of the sales process and improve member acquisition, retention, market share and member satisfaction. To do this, AvMed required an easy-to-use, highly flexible system designed specifically to support the full sales and renewal cycle of health care benefits providers. After a review of available solutions, the company selected Pivotal's complete Healthcare Insurance product suite.

"As a not-for-profit health improvement company, we are always seeking ways to deliver unmatched service to our members while keeping administrative costs as low as possible," said John Higbee, CIO, AvMed Health Plans. "With Pivotal, we are able to address the expanding needs of our brokers and members without increasing demands on our resources. No other system offered us the full range of industry-specific functionality we required to support our complete sales cycle."

The Pivotal Healthcare Insurance product line will help AvMed streamline many common administrative processes - allowing the company to reduce administrative costs and application and renewal errors while improving the experience it provides its members. The Pivotal Healthcare Insurance Front Office product provides a comprehensive view of the company's entire book of business including opportunity management, broker databases, instant proposal and contract generation and competitive plan information. Using this system integrated with the company's rating engine, AvMed will be able to automatically manage new business, track renewals, make off-cycle benefit changes and other group maintenance activities while following company-wide sales and service best practices. The Pivotal Healthcare eBroker product extends the benefits of the system out to the company's growing team of brokers - enhancing broker effectiveness, improving collaboration, and increasing profits. With this product, brokers can quickly configure quotes, produce accurate, personalized proposals, and manage their book of business.

Pivotal Healthcare eEnrollment addresses AvMed's growing requirement to reduce the time and effort needed to quickly and accurately enroll members by giving them the capability to enroll members online - rather than through the use of paper forms. With this online enrollment system, AvMed's group administrators, brokers and members are guided through a step-by-step process - collecting pertinent information that is automatically printed on existing Florida state-filed forms for signing. This helps to enhance the enrollment experience while dramatically reducing costs associated with incomplete information.

According to Divesh Sisodraker, president and CEO, Pivotal, "Healthcare insurance organizations are facing heightened pressures to deliver a higher standard of service and provide affordable, consumer-focused products. The Pivotal Healthcare Insurance product line has been designed to help companies like AvMed maximize business efficiencies while enhancing the experience they provide to their members."
