Businessolver earned the highest ranking for both user experience and vendor satisfaction among enterprise benefits administration providers in Sapient Insights Group’s 29th Annual HR Systems Survey.
Based entirely on feedback from HR practitioners and the people who use these systems, the recognition validates Businessolver’s ability to bring together intuitive technology, responsive service, and trusted partnership to create a better benefits experience.

Recognition built on the voice of the customer

Sapient Insights Group’s annual survey asks HR technology users to evaluate the systems and partners they work with directly. Businessolver’s No. 1 position across both user experience and vendor satisfaction measures demonstrates strength not only in how the technology works, but also in the service and partnership surrounding it.
The strongest validation does not come from a feature checklist, it comes from the practitioners who rely on a platform to support their people, manage complexity, and keep critical benefits programs running.

Sapient Insights Group evaluates providers across two measures central to that experience:

  • User Experience: How effectively the system supports the people who use it, including HR, IT, managers, and employees.
  • Vendor Satisfaction: How clients evaluate the service, communication, partnership, and alignment they receive from their provider.
Businessolver’s top position across both measures reinforces the value of an experience where technology and service work together, not as separate promises, but as one connected relationship.

Recognized by the people closest to the work

Sapient Insights Group’s annual research is grounded in direct practitioner feedback. The 2026 survey reflects the perspectives of 10,050 HR professionals across 6,038 organizations and evaluates 2,124 solutions in 23 HR technology segments. That methodology makes this recognition especially meaningful.

“Businessolver’s performance reflects strong marks from the practitioners who leverage the platform to deliver their benefit programs. Ranking highly across both user experience and vendor satisfaction demonstrates the importance of delivering technology that works well for people while also providing the service and partnership organizations expect from their benefits administration provider.”

Technology people value. A partner clients trust.

Ranking first across both user experience and vendor satisfaction reflects two sides of the same experience.

A partnership designed around outcomes

Businessolver brings administration, enrollment, communications, spending and savings accounts, service, data, and intelligence together on Businessolver-owned technology with one code base and one data layer.
