#1 EASE ALTERNATIVE
Ease is being sunset. If your agency runs groups on Ease, now is the time to choose your next platform and plan a move that keeps open enrollment and renewals on track. Administr brings CRM, quoting, benefits administration, compliance, and marketing into one platform built for brokers.
On June 3, 2026, Employee Navigator, which acquired Ease in April 2023, announced a two-phase sunset of the Ease platform.
New companies can no longer be added to Ease, and the "Add Company" feature will be disabled. Existing companies on Ease are not affected, and brokers may continue renewing and servicing existing Ease groups throughout 2026 and into 2027.
Ease transitions to read-only mode. Brokers, HR teams, and employees keep access to historical data and reporting tools, while integrations and customer support for Ease are discontinued.

Employee Navigator offers Ease users an upgrade path to its platform. Whatever you choose, the dates above are what your migration plan needs to work around.
The biggest risk in leaving Ease isn't the new platform. It's switching at the wrong moment. Plan each group's move around its open enrollment and renewal, and work back from the July 1, 2027 read-only date.
Don't move a group in the middle of open enrollment. Complete current enrollments in Ease, confirm carrier and payroll feeds are accurate, and use this period to inventory your book and choose your next platform.
Starting January 1, 2027, new companies can't be added to Ease. Set up any newly sold groups on your new platform from day one.
Move each group after its open enrollment has closed and its feeds are confirmed, and before its next renewal. Run carrier and payroll connections in parallel until the first files on the new platform are verified.
After July 1, 2027, Ease is read-only and its integrations and support end. Finish moving active groups and export the records you need to keep before that date.
Data export: employee and dependent census, current elections, plan and rate setup, contribution and eligibility rules, and any reports your clients rely on.
Carrier connections and EDI: list every carrier feed (834 files, API, and direct connections), carrier contacts, and file schedules. Plan test files and a parallel run before cutting over.
Payroll and HRIS: document deduction codes and integration settings for each client, and confirm the first payroll cycle after the move.
ACA records: hours tracking, measurement periods, offers of coverage, and prior 1094-C/1095-C filings, so reporting stays complete for the year.
Employee documents: signed elections, waivers, beneficiary designations, life-event documentation, and plan documents.
User training: schedule training for your account team and each client's HR admins, and prepare employee communications about the new enrollment portal.
Book a migration consult. We'll review your book of business, renewal calendar, carrier connections, and integrations with you, and outline a plan that keeps open enrollment and renewals on track.
Book a Migration ConsultIf you're re-evaluating your platform anyway, look at the whole agency workflow, not just enrollment.
Ease focuses solely on benefits administration, leaving you to juggle separate tools for prospect management, client relationships, and sales tracking.
