Town of Cheektowaga - Department of Parks, Recreation & Youth Services
"Mr Wild and his team of experts were very instrumental in the Town of Cheektowaga switching to a single health care provider and demonstrating a savings to the town of over $2,000,000 for doing so. They were able to find a comfortable balance of working with the Town's 5 unions, who orchestrated the idea of looking into a single health care provider.

"Mr Wild and his broker team are incredibly knowledgeable in the insurance field, as well as very professional and just wonderful to work with. It is the full intent of the Town of Cheektowaga and it's five bargaining units to continue our successful relationship with Manning & Napier Benefits in the yerars to come"

“Not only was our conversion flawless, our employees walked away with a positive experience where they were forced to understand all the benefits… Thanks for a job well done.”
Robert J. Morreale, VP Finance

Bryant and Stratton
“Bryant and Stratton has 16 different campuses across 4 states. When I saw the tool (Benefficiency) I took my manual process and did cartwheels down the hall! [Regarding service], not only did MNIS have the technical expertise, but they also understood the benefits part of it. …The great thing now is we have all the information consolidated so from a managerial perspective, you can sit down and make decisions … this is something we didn’t have before and I’ve very excited about going forward.

“Before Benefficiency, we killed a lot of trees. The costs associated with copying, and the labor, and the shipping….This was a no-brainer.”
Karen Macris, HR Director

University of Buffalo – Graduate Medical School
“Medical and Dental residents are training in 10 area hospitals – as far North as Niagara Falls to as far South as Olean. Because they’re working a lot of hours, they’re a tough group to get a hold of, which is one of things that has made the program most helpful to us.
“Support has been wonderful, [including] being great in dealing with my last minute e-mails.”
Donna Cummiskey, Director

Service Organizations / Companies

Bovis LendLease
We knew moving to a full “on-line” process would have its challenges and we would have to deliver a very simple, intuitive, user-friendly product. Benefficiency delivered! I received many emails and calls from our employees saying that the system was very easy to understand and that they liked the new on-line process.

I don’t know that I have ever worked with a more professional, customer-oriented group. The MNIS team stepped up to the plate.”
Teena H. Hester, VP – Employee Benefits

”Benefficiency saved us time, money, and reduced errors because of the reduction of envelope stuffing, paper filing, and manual entry into multiple systems. Benefficiency is a good audit feature for our self insured plan by enforcing and reporting eligibility requirements for our employees and dependents. It helps us insure and pay claims only for eligible covered participants.”

It enables us to communicate benefit options to offsite associates with ease, speed and accuracy. Our out-of-town, as well as local associates, appreciate the amount of detail at their fingertips at their convenience. Because it is web-based, it did not place any additional demands on out IT department. …And lastly, it has been, and continues to be, a pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable and helpful staff. At every step of the process, from the first meeting through implementation to now, we have been thoroughly impressed by the organized, detailed handling of our account.”
Debra Ward, Human Resources Manager
