COCO Development, LLC launched its newest HR compliance software, COBRApoint, a web-powered COBRA, HIPAA, State Continuation and Retiree Billing solution, at the 17th Annual Benefits Management Forum &, Expo in Nashville. COBRApoints revolutionary design makes it the first COBRA compliance platform developed on and accessed by the web.

(Anticipation of a new compliance software had been growing in the HR industry and the launch of COBRApoint was very well received, says Melanie Gipp, Director of Marketing for COBRApoint.

COBRApoint was developed by a national administrator of COBRA, HIPAA, State Continuation and Retiree Billing compliance services to satisfy its internal demands and challenges.

COBRApoint was built using ASP.NET technology to take advantage of the software model known as Application Service Provider (ASP). A key element of ASPs is the concept of centrally managed software solutions.

Given the ever-increasing pace of new state and federal regulations that impact HR compliance, a centrally managed application deployed to multiple end-users is the only viable manner in which to ensure all users are compliant, says John Jenkins, president of COBRApoint.

COBRApoints XML powered reporting suite offers both the user and their clients real time web-based management tools. The solutions letter-generation function can be off-loaded to an outsourced mail service, or letters can be printed locally. COBRApoints ability to accept file transfers in any format in use today enhances its flexibility and value to the user.
