ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson Reuters has announced
that the recipient of its 2008 Innovator Award is The Pepsi Bottling Group
(PBG), the world's largest Pepsi bottler.

PBG was recognized for its Smart Enrollment program, an initiative that
uses sophisticated data analytics to give employees customized information
with which to choose the most appropriate health benefits.

This is the fifth consecutive year that the healthcare business of Thomson
Reuters has presented its Innovator Award, which recognizes the innovative use
of healthcare data analytics to achieve significant business results. It was
presented in Orlando at Advantage Conference 2008, the annual gathering of
Thomson Reuters healthcare customers including many of the nation's largest
health plans and employers.


PBG used the Thomson Reuters Informed Enrollment solution to achieve the
following goals:


-- Increased employee participation in healthcare spending accounts (in
which pretax dollars can be set aside to spend on healthcare).

-- Migration of employees to more appropriate health plans based on their
past use of healthcare services.

-- Better understanding of healthcare costs through use of an online cost
calculator.



The Smart Enrollment program resulted in almost 1,000 new enrollments in
and greater contributions to healthcare spending accounts, increased use of
the cost calculator and an online benefit selection tool, and migration from
the highest cost plans to more appropriate health plans.

"PBG has successfully tackled a significant challenge facing employers and
health plans today - how to provide employees with the relevant information
they need to make intelligent healthcare decisions," said Jon Newpol,
executive vice president, Thomson Reuters. "This great effort deserves our
recognition."

PBG was selected from a field of five Innovator Award finalists. The
other finalists are Health Care Service Corporation, Corning Inc., Novartis,
and Pitney Bowes.
