Milliman's interactive models simulate the financial workings of benefits plans, allowing you to make better decisions about the variables that affect your specific situation. You'll be able to ask what if questions, and see the impact over time of new benefits or shifts in employee demographics. This kind of modeling provides the long-term vision you need to ensure the safety and viability of your plan.

Our simulation models also play a valuable role in labor contract negotiations, telescoping the decision-making time frame. Modeling can eliminate literally weeks of meetings devoted to the review of each new proposal. The feedback is immediate, and the dramatic graphic presentation helps all parties to quickly understand the effect of proposed changes.

Milliman models can also:

• simulate the financial workings of benefits plans and expand a client's ability to see the impact over time of new benefits or shifts in employee demographics. Clients can ask "what if" types of questions about the important variables in planning their benefits programs
• educate clients about the inner workings of their benefit programs; its interactive plan design tutor explores the different types of retirement plans and evaluates the one that might fit best with a particular client's needs
• be invaluable in labor contract negotiations by telescoping the decision-making time frame and eliminating literally weeks of meetings devoted to the review of each new set of proposed benefits changes

In the words of one of our clients: "The feedback using these models is immediate, and the dramatic graphic presentation helps all parties at the negotiating table quickly understand the effect of proposed changes."
