​Get your plan up and running

Our team will coach you through the process and ensure that all of the pieces are
in place for a successful launch. We'll be with you every step of the way.

  • Plan discovery
    This is where we lay the foundation for a smooth transition and successful implementation. We’ll assemble the team and create a project plan that will keep us all on the same page.
  • File preparation and testing
    This step includes the important behind-the-scenes work to determine which files are needed and how they will be transmitted.
  • Production readiness
    Once the data are in place, it’s time to prepare the interfaces, test them and train staff across all roles.
  • Plan launch
    Once the system has been thoroughly tested and everyone has signed off, we’ll move from a test environment into production.

​Need help getting st​​arted?​

​Selecting the right plans provider can get complicated. 
Before you start the process, ask yourself these five questions.

​Your goals are our goals. Many others view the administration of an equity plan as a means to an end – obtaining employee assets for wealth management opportunities. We focus on partnering with you to make your experience – and your employees' experiences – exceptional. ​

​Our experience and knowledge has helped us develop our industry-leading security measures. Online predators are smart, but we're constantly taking steps to stay ahead of them.  You and your employees can be confident that their personal data is in secure hands. 

​We’ve been navigating international waters for years so that our clients can offer employees around the world comprehensive service in languages and currencies that work for them. Services include multiple languages on the Web, flexible methods for phone-based account management on their time and delivery of sales proceeds in local currency.​

​We’re here for you. With a dedicated service team, great reporting tools, smart employee engagement efforts or just an extra set of hands to get you through tough projects, we’ll partner with you to provide the support you need to make your plan a success.​

​A plan isn’t successful without high participation. We’ll help you make it easy for employees to participate through great customer service, convenient account access and educational tools that create a positive experience. ​
