vWise Introduces Tiered Pricing Model for SmartPlan Enterprise; ExpertPlan First Provider to Deploy Under New Pricing
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., March 2 -- vWise Inc. today announced that it has introduced a tiered pricing model for its award-winning SmartPlan Enterprise solution. The new pricing model - developed in consultation with ExpertPlan, which is the first provider to deploy plans using it - offers increased flexibility to providers and helps them bring SmartPlan Enterprise to even the smallest plans.
"We believe SmartPlan is the future of plan communication, and is especially important for smaller plans that don't have a large communications budget. We wanted SmartPlan for all our clients, not just our larger ones. vWise listened, and came up with a pricing model that makes sense for us," commented ExpertPlan Chief Executive Officer Julian Onorato.
"We have been searching for a way to provide SmartPlan at a price any plan can afford, and with help from ExpertPlan we have been able to create a tiered pricing model that makes that a reality," remarked vWise President Tony Mingo.
About SmartPlan Enterprise
Designed to help average investors better understand their retirement plans, SmartPlan Enterprise provides the benefits of a personal financial professional, in a website available 24/7/365. By combining a video-based presentation of detailed financial information with an interactive application that prompts users to make informed investment decisions, SmartPlan Enterprise can help increase plan enrollment, raise participant contribution levels, and reduce support costs.
The SmartPlan Enterprise participant environment features a familiar interface that makes it easy to navigate, even for novice users, and allows a participant to go at his or her own pace. Our video hosts offer a brief video overview of 401(k) basics, followed by a discussion of selected features, such as auto-enrollment, matching contributions, and loans. Then, using simple interactive forms, our video hosts then guide participants through a short process, including individual retirement needs and risk profile surveys, and selection of investment types and contribution amounts, that generates a personalized investor profile. The SmartPlan Enterprise system is integrated with a provider's participant database, to deliver a custom experience and allow upload of participant choices.
