To turn scores of management techniques… into a harmonious arrangement!

The Need

Most enterprises consider their human resources as their primary asset. Aware of the importance of their employees, many companies offer a range of employee benefits, including group insurance plans. The social and economic impact of such benefits is substantial and involves a commitment that must be shared by all participants.

The ultimate objective is to provide employees with benefits that have an optimum price/quality ratio, taking taxes into account, BUT MAINLY to guarantee employees an immediate response when they need access to information or have filed a claim.

Professional Group Benefits managers, whether employers, unions, insurers, administrators, external suppliers (prescription drug cards, etc.) or group benefits advisors, have long known that information and event management becomes more complex as the number of employees and modifications to employee records increase. At the same time, effective management can only be guaranteed when information is shared quickly and efficiently among the various partners.

We pride ourselves on developing a fine product and are well aware that when ALLEGROUPE is in your hands, it is an extension of MDI.

To reduce the time it takes to learn how to use ALLEGROU P E, we have limited the number of screens, standardized them (each button is in the same place on every screen), and made the computer links easy to access.

Software installation should go smoothly. Depending on the service contract, ALLEGROUPE can be installed by professionals from MDI, by the insurer, or in-house using an automated installation process.

The “GROUP” in our name clearly reflects MDI’s mission, which is to provide intelligent, effective and productive electronic tools to assist everyone involved in the management of employee benefits and group insurance. Depending on the specific product family, ALLEGROUPE software can provide file management for employee groups, help sales professionals with follow-up and service for businesses, and for insurers it eliminates the need for data modifications for groups of individuals.

“ALLEGRO” is the musical term for a tempo that is quick and sharp, a touch slower than “Pronto,” which makes it easier to grasp the subtleties of the ALLEGROUPE program. With ALLEGROUPE software, a management that could feel like "hell"... can be turned into a harmonious and productive concert. ALLEGROUPE is a mature product that offers flexibility and security.

“U” as in Universal and Unique: MDI technology is based on the PC and WINDOWS environments – up-to-date, economical and Universal. MDI technology shares the same information bases and provides a Unique approach, in which ALLEGROUPE is the conductor, harmonizing each management level: “Enterprise - Advisor - Insurer.” Because each partner is using the same technology, exceptional synergy is created among them, resulting in savings.

“P” as in Private and Professional: Despite the power linked to data sharing between participants, ALLEGROUPE offers technology that gives each user the independence to use their system either Privately or in shared mode, guaranteeing continuity of operations even when there’s a change of business partner. MDI offers Professional tools that allow everyone to improve productivity and efficiency. For more information, see the brochure “Because sharing data improves productivity”.

The “e ” adds the perfect final touch to ALLEGROUPE technology. It implies Electronic data sharing via the Internet or any standard communication protocol, for all ALLEGROUPE participants as well as external partners such as payroll services or external supplier databases (prescription drug or dental cards). This Electronic sharing epitomizes the essence of MDI’s slogan: Because time is of the essence…

The elimination of redundancy and duplication combined with effective data sharing enhances productivity and adds value.
