   According to Joseph Checkley, a benefits consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers, companies can save a great deal of money by moving enrollment to the Web.A Web enrollment costs about $ 1 to $ 2 per employee ; a call-in service can run as much as $ 12 to $ 15, he says.Currently, about one-fourth of large employers use Internet or intranet applications to handle open enrollment.
   
   However, the goal of Sprint's efforts to move more services online is convenience to employees rather than cost savings.

   We decided to approach health care providers the same way we approach other suppliers, says Checkley, a former director of group insurance at AlliedSignal before joining PricewaterhouseCoopers.That includes aggressively engaging vendors and asking them what they be doing to take costs out of the system..
   
   More recently, AlliedSignal consolidated some health care services, just as it had reduced suppliers on the manufacturing side.
   ...
   Forward-thinking companies have said to themselves, We can not just sit back and complain about managed-care organizations, " says Checkley.They are going in and helping [ companies ] become more efficient, whether they want it or not..
   
   AlliedSignal follows the precepts of Six Sigma, an iteration of total quality management that works to develop more-efficient manufacturing processes.The company put 27 Cigna claims-processing agents through what it calls green-belt training in the ways of Six Sigma.It also placed a Six Sigma black-belt employee in its largest customer-service facility, in Phoenix.Although Cigna owns and runs the facility, the employee works for AlliedSignal.
