responsible for choosing the benefits administrator and apologized for the
inconveniences during this transition period. Kathy continued to explain
that EBS has proprietary software that is outstanding; however, the
communication between this software and our HR/finance software has
been challenging. Kathy again apologized for the resulting effect on
retirees.
