Applied Systems has announced the acquisition of Dynamis Software Corporation, a provider of employee benefits software. The acquisition expands Applied’s employee benefits offering.

“At Applied, we recognise the challenges that benefits agencies face automating their businesses,” said Reid French, CEO of Applied Systems. “This transaction brings the leading provider of agency management systems globally with Dynamis, a leading provider of employee benefits solutions in the US, to deliver an integrated solution for employee benefits agency automation.”

Independent insurance agencies using Applied Epic will benefit from enhanced integration between the management system and Dynamis’s Dynamic Plan Designer, Applied said.
