Abstract: This invention relates to computerized methods and systems for evaluating employee benefit plans. In one embodiment, a computerized method for determining improvement actions for an employee benefit plan includes uniquely associating an improvement action for one or more attributes of an employee benefit plan; receiving the status of one or more of the attributes for a first employee benefit plan; identifying the attributes of the first employee benefit plan which have a different status than a set of other employee benefit plans, and providing an action plan to improve the first employee benefit plan, the action plan comprising one or more actions associated with the identified attributes.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus implementing a technique for assembling a device, such as a digital convergence monitor, at more than one site where data is supplied from a first site to a second site and then the data is used in assembly of the device at the second site. In one implementation, a method for assembling a device at more than one manufacturing site includes: at least partially assembling a device at a first manufacturing site; adjusting the device at the first manufacturing site, where the adjustment is recorded in data; sending the data from the first manufacturing site to a second manufacturing site; assembling the device at the second manufacturing site; storing the data in the device; and adjusting the device at the second manufacturing site, where the adjustment at the second manufacturing site is recorded in the data.
