TBT’s benefits administration system, called TRUSTpartner, is used by self-administered Taft-Hartley/ERISA trust funds and third party administrators. TBT’s software products are offered as hosted or licensed solutions. Hosted solutions run out of TBT’s secure, co-location facility; the administrator only supplies the user desktop device, printers, and a connection to the Internet. If you prefer, you may also purchase a license so that TRUSTpartner can run in-house as an intranet solution. TBT also offers a hybrid option, in which a license is purchased but the applications are hosted by TBT.
