Intelerad, a leading radiology imaging software organization, has been revolutionizing the way radiologists read x-rays and MRIs. With a mission-critical focus on building software and workflows for radiology groups and acute hospitals, Intelerad needed a partner that could streamline their employee benefits and support their global operations.

When Erikka Buracchio first joined Intelerad as Chief People Officer, one of her first actions was calling in Sequoia to help her in her new role. Having partnered with Sequoia at two previous companies, she trusted that the team would come through for her yet again.

“There was such comfort in knowing that we will be taken care of,” Erikka said. “I knew immediately that I was going to need help and support, and I knew I would get it.”

Global Challenges

As Intelerad expanded its global footprint, Erikka faced the challenge of managing employee benefits across multiple countries without an in-house benefits admin person. With operations in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, Intelerad needed a solution that could simplify benefits management, ensure compliance, and offer competitive perks to attract and retain top talent.

I don’t have another vendor that I have taken along to three different companies. Sequoia is the one vendor that has stood the test of time for me in a few of my roles.

The Solution: Sequoia’s Tech-Enabled Advisory Services

Sequoia’s unified solutions and powerful platform provided Intelerad with the expertise and support needed to navigate these complex benefits landscapes. By integrating Sequoia’s services, Intelerad was able to:

• Reduce Costs: Sequoia’s expert guidance helped Intelerad evaluate their self-insurance options, ensuring they chose the most cost-effective plan based on their claim history.
• Save Time: With Sequoia handling the administrative duties of open enrollment and benefits renewal, Intelerad’s HR team could focus on strategic initiatives.
• Minimize Risk: Sequoia’s compliance expertise ensured that Intelerad’s benefits offerings met regulatory requirements across all operating countries.
• Attract Top Talent: By offering competitive benefits packages, Intelerad positioned itself as an employer of choice in the tech industry.

Erikka explained that, “The more partners we have, the more relationships we have, the more vendors we have, the harder it is manage. I’m all about simplicity. We’re doing that with our HR and people systems, and I like to do that with our vendors and partners as well.”

The Impact

Intelerad’s partnership with Sequoia exemplifies the power of tech-enabled advisory services in transforming employee benefits management. By leveraging Sequoia’s expertise, Intelerad has successfully navigated the complexities of global benefits administration, reduced costs, saved time, minimized risk, and assessed their compensation and benefits strategies to ensure they remain competitive in the market. As Intelerad continues to build its legacy, Sequoia remains a steadfast partner in their journey toward success.
