"Our Congregation used to have separate databases for Sisters' personal information: Social Security income, Insurance, etc. Now it's all easily accessible in an eye appealing format in BEATRICE (BMT's web-based data management tool) -- it saves a lot of time looking for what we need. In the short nine months we've been with the Benefit Eligibility Management Team of Brenner, McDonagh and Tortolani, in accessing government benefits for us, they have both, greatly increased our income and decreased our expenses as well as taken a lot of work out of the Treasurer's Office!"
