Sun Life Link is backed by dedicated teams of technology experts who focus on building the technical framework to develop secure, customizable API integrations that address client needs. By proactively partnering with clients to build and implement new connections, these teams ensure they are solving for clients' specific pain points and setting them up for immediate and ongoing success.

Sun Life Link API connections facilitate the exchange of EOI (evidence of insurability) data, which results in a faster, easier enrollment experience for employers and employee members. With many benefits administration and HCM system connections already implemented, Sun Life Link adds new connections on a continuing basis, enhancing the size and scope of solutions as well as catering to a broader range of employers with different needs and goals.

Sun Life approaches digital solution development with flexibility to adapt to continuously evolving client needs. Sun Life Link solutions include leave administration, self-billing, and enrollment and plan design integration, further automating manual HR tasks around benefits management.
