This section contains an in-depth tutorial for developers who wish to integrate a BenSelect enrollment in their own application.  The two primary reasons a third-party enrollment system may wish to interface with BenSelect are:

1. To take advantage of BenSelect's ability to handle unusually complex product enrollments using a custom product created on BenSelect specifically for that purpose.
2. To enroll applicants in one or more existing products offered in the BenSelect product library.  These products have been tested and validated compliant by the carrier and require minimal setup.

Topics in this section include:

• Detailed developer walk-throughs
• Links to supplemental, conceptual information
• Essential skills developers must be familiar with before any integration may begin, followed by specific competencies required by each specific integration path.
• Security considerations
