What are you most excited about?","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"paragraph"},{"data":{},"content":[{"data":{},"marks":[],"value":"Noyo is solving a root problem. The limitations around the flow of data in our industry are felt by everyone. I’ve spent 5+ years vetting new technologies in this space, and this is one of the most exciting periods to be focused on connectivity. The technology is there. The business case is there. And now, Noyo has built a proven API solution with a reputable set of customers; it’s just the beginning.","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"paragraph"},{"data":{},"content":[{"data":{},"marks":[],"value":"I’m most excited about the new businesses that can be built on top of Noyo that didn’t exist yesterday. Imagine what’s possible when there is no friction between the supply and the demand. Automatic leave management and claims filing, benefits that evolve intelligently as employees’ needs change, HSAs that are automatically funded with the right amount, or even things as simple as not needing an insurance card or finding an in-network doctor with one click. ","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"paragraph"},{"data":{},"content":[{"data":{},"marks":[],"value":"You don’t have to look far to see how APIs have reshaped entire industries — banking, investing, payments, travel, and e-commerce are all light years ahead of where benefits are now.","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"paragraph"},{"data":{},"content":[{"data":{},"marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"value":"At a high level, who needs Noyo right now?","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"paragraph"},{"data":{},"content":[{"data":{},"marks":[],"value":"We’re in a moment where benefits are becoming absolutely crucial to attracting and retaining employees. Expectations for benefits offerings are high, but manual operations, hard-to-diagnose errors, and expensive disruptions to the customer experience are holding carriers, platforms, and brokers back. Plus, HR departments spend way too much time administering changes instead of expanding and personalizing their benefits offerings.","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"paragraph"},{"data":{},"content":[{"data":{},"marks":[],"value":"Insurance carriers, benefits administration software, all-in-one and HRIS platforms, and digital brokers all need Noyo.

With Noyo’s APIs under the hood, benefits administration tools can become even faster and more powerful. Imagine if you could see the real-time status of your enrollment when starting a new job, or you could get confirmation that an issue with your social security number was resolved–these are the kinds of experiences that will change the game.

And then on the carrier side of the market, we want every carrier to be able to offer the Noyo Sync experience, no matter the systems in place today.

Seamless data exchange across every step of benefits administration is critical, but what’s more exciting is what comes next.","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"paragraph"}],"nodeType":"document"}
