- Revenue summary
- Analysis of the company’s benefits administration offerings
- Analysis of the company’s customer base including the company’s targeting strategy and examples of current contracts
- Identification of the company’s strategy, emphasis, and new developments within its technology and services
- Analysis of the company’s strengths, challenges, and outlook.
Key Findings & Highlights:
Thomson Online Benefits has two routes to market:
- Firstly, from a global perspective, where organizations make centralized decisions to roll out the platform across all their geographies
- Increasingly, the new digital companies such as Uber and Netflix, who wish to provide a consistent global benefits experience.
However, Thomson Online Benefits is increasingly leveraging the Mercer ecosystem and local country knowledge to sell via Mercer, with Mercer providing the local country knowledge, to companies that are active in a single or small number of countries.
Thomsons will increasingly work with Mercer to target national companies, with Mercer taking the lead on benefits strategy and local rules and regulations with Darwin being implemented as the benefits administration platform.
