Employee Benefits Brokers are Innovating with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

The political divide around healthcare legislation coming out of Washington, the never ending rise in healthcare costs, and the mandates around state sponsored health insurance exchanges creates some very unique challenges for Employee Benefits Brokers.
