History
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Atlanta,
Digital Insurance was established to address the employee benefits
needs of small businesses and mid-sized companies. With little
buying power, these companies can't access the same attractive
rates and plans from carriers that large organizations typically
receive. Also, they are often small fish in a big sea. Traditional
brokers usually focus their efforts on more substantial
accounts.
While our original concept was to sell insurance online to
employers, before long we refined this strategy. The new direction:
to partner with other brokers, agents and financial services
companies to manage or acquire their small group customer base. We
split commissions with our partners, freeing them to concentrate on
obtaining and servicing larger groups. It turned out to be a
win-win scenario, and our business flourished. Digital's growth was
fueled by outstanding customer service and investments in
innovative technology to create tremendous efficiencies. Both of
these attributes remain pillars of the company's success
formula.
Today, Digital has achieved critical mass and is the nation's
leading employee benefits agency. Collectively, the volume of
business from companies we represent captures the attention of
insurance carriers. We continue to develop proprietary products and
enhance our technology to drive efficiencies on behalf of our
clients.
In 2011, the company organized into three divisions: Digital
Benefit Advisors; Digital Enterprise, which serves small- and
mid-sized businesses throughout the U.S.; and Small Business
Express which efficiently manages thousands of micro-groups.
Digital Benefit Advisors evolved through a series of acquisitions,
involving a network of leading agencies from across the country.
Clients in key markets receive customized consultation from
seasoned professionals who devise creative solutions to meet
strategic business goals. Each of these firms has an established
reputation and its own enduring history of community
connections.
Digital's ability to embrace market opportunities - such as
those arising from health care reform - plus the strength of our
services, products and technology position the company for
long-term success.
