Web-based communications tool for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)

In April 2009, TekSynap was awarded a contract valued at over $700,000 to provide support for the development, modernization, enhancement, operation, and maintenance of a web-based communications tool for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). The project requires the continuing development and refinement of the communications tool, called the Plan Activity Report Tool (PART). PART connects key divisions with satellite offices that track benefits for PBGC’s customers – 29,000 private single-employer and multiemployer defined benefit pension plans. The PBGC’s Benefits Administration and Payment Department (BAPD) uses the PART to monitor, measure, analyze and manage communications and coordination activities between Trusteeship Processing Divisions (TPDs) and Field Benefit Administrative Offices (FBAs).
