www.mercer.com - Mercer today announced the launch of Enterprise Momentum(TM), a new suite of employee benefits insurance management offerings for small- to mid-sized employers.

Built upon Mercer's substantial experience as one of the largest insurance brokers serving this market, Enterprise Momentum provides a cost-effective way for clients with 50-500 employees to avail themselves of many

of the tools, processes and expertise that large organizations employ to successfully manage these programs.

"Enterprise Momentum is designed to contribute to the overall success of companies through the effective and strategic management of their benefit programs," said Kerry Finnegan, US enterprise business leader. "Much of this process is delivered through Mercer's newly trademarked Core Services Client Calendar(TM), which helps employers sustain benefit programs year-round as they compete for talent in an increasingly shrinking labor pool."

Enterprise Momentum is focused on helping employers save money and time and creating near- and long-term benefit program strategies that help attract and retain qualified talent. Enterprise Momentum also provides clients with benefits-related regulatory support and updates.

The offering includes a number of brokerage/consulting services, including carrier services audits, cost forecasting software, benefit communications, a consumerism readiness audit, a benchmark profiling program, online renewal and placement support, and a dedicated local service team.

"Enterprise Momentum leverages the resources, experience and purchasing power of Mercer to bring employers the most convenient, cost-effective, competitive and integrated insurance offerings available - all tailored to the needs of small- to mid-sized businesses. And all of this is done with our clients' full knowledge of all compensation to assure that we deliver value," said Joe O'Connell, principal and New York enterprise business leader.

Enterprise Momentum is being launched this month in the following markets: Atlanta; Boston; Charlotte; Chicago; Denver; Morristown, NJ; New York City; Portland, Ore.; San Francisco; St. Louis; Washington, DC; and cities throughout Florida. The program will be rolled out in Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Philadelphia in August and to other markets in September.
