We want to bring about some change in your benefit program. And we know you'll like it because it will actually ADD some change (as in $$!)...to your retirement plan!
B2B Workforce would like to announce the introduction of a match to your B2B Workforce 401K benefit. Beginning with the February 15th paydate, we will match $500 annually that you contribute, in pretax dollars, to your 401K plan on an annual basis. Hopefully that's a change you can truly benefit from!
If you are already contributing, there is no need to do anything. The match will simply begin appearing in your account beginning February 15, 2008.
If you are not yet contributing, and are eligible, you simply need to complete the 401K enrollment forms that can be found on the B2B Workforce Benefit Portal to begin your contribution.
Benefit Portal link: www.mybenefitscount.com
Username: employee@b2b.com
Password: benefits
The deadline for the return of these forms is Friday, February 8th. If they are received after that date, no worries, your contribution will simply begin in the 1st payroll of the next month. Remember, we have two 401K offerings that roll up under our one 401K plan. One is Schwab which offers a diverse selection of stocks and funds and is a participant directed retirement account allowing you to build and mix and match your own portfolio. The second offering is through Great West Retirement Services. Great West offers a set number of fund options that are preselected by Great West from which you can choose.
Please feel free to call me directly with any questions and happy
investing!

Q:How effective is MDM for clients & is that a good line of SAP career to
get into right now?
JR: I'm glad you asked this question and I like how you are thinking about your career path. I hear from a lot of folks who are interested in chasing what's hot, but they never ask the all-important question: how effective is this supposedly "hot" product for companies?
After all, consulting opportunities almost always break down to a simple question of supply and demand, and if a product is not embraced by the SAP customer base, then the demand will be limited. And when I say "embraced by the SAP customer base," I'm not just talking about a handful of deep-pocketed flagship customers. That is not enough to fuel demand.
MDM, SAP's Master Data Management product, is an interesting case to consider. At first, the demand for MDM was more limited, but as the functionality in MDM continued to increase, the customer base has started to install MDM with greater frequency. With the current MDM release version 5.5, we are seeing a warmer customer reception than ever before. MDM ships with NetWeaver so that helps with product acceptance, though the last time I heard, you do have to pay an add-on fee to activate the MDM component.

WebMD Weight Loss Clinic-Feature
You needed neither that second serving nor the extra round of drinks. Yet you indulged. Aren't the holidays about good times with loved ones, great food, and merrymaking? Anyway, beginning Jan. 1, you will eat healthier and work out. Starting then, you will get fit. This will be your New Year's resolution. Life will be better after December.
Sound familiar? It should if you're one of the millions of people who find themselves unsatisfied with their excess body weight or sluggish physical condition at the turn of the calendar.
In fact, about a third of New Year's resolvers make weight loss their primary goal, and about 15% aim to begin an exercise program, suggests a small study John C. Norcross, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Scranton, Pa.
