Briana Scott - Contemporary Christian Artist Pre-releases Debut Album “While I’m Here” Independently On Her Own Label – Waterbrooke Music

The long-awaited debut album from Contemporary Christian artist Briana Scott has been pre-released by Waterbrooke Music. The album titled “While I’m Here” features 15 tracks written by Briana her self, Paul David, Keith Johnson and renowned gospel artist/writer Eddie James. The album also features Briana’s rendition of “I Give You My Heart” and “Here I Am To Worship”, two songs penned by award-winning writers Reuben Morgan and Tim Hughes.

The project opens with “Brand New Day”, a vibrant up-tempo song written by Scott, confessing that, “this is the day that the Lord has made”….it’s a brand new day. The album’s title song, “While I’m Here”, also written by Scott, is something to behold. When asked what inspired the song, Scott replied, “The song was inspired by the testimony of someone who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. In short, the individual’s testimony was that no matter how many days man says I’ll be here on this Earth, I’m going to worship you Lord. No matter what man says my fate may be, I’m going to worship you Lord. I thought that was a powerful testimony."

UltraLink, a leading HR and benefits management services company, today announced its sixth consecutive year of negotiating above industry average cost savings for their healthcare procurement clients. UltraLink helped their clients control healthcare costs by reducing the carrier proposed increases by one-third. Through its unique rate negotiation process and industry-leading expertise, UltraLink was once again able to save its clients millions of dollars in premiums for 2006.

J. Stephen Ashley, Senior Vice President of Client Consulting Services for UltraLink stated, “Our rate negotiation services are designed differently than those provided by most of the other national benefit consultants. Many of the larger firms often accept original proposals from the health plans because they fall within the industry averages. We never settle for what the plans initially propose. We negotiate using our tools, services and experience to dive deep into the underwriting assumptions. We challenge the health plans to prove to us that the increases they have proposed are reasonable. We are always looking at our clients’ long-term health care strategy goals, therefore our focus is not always to find the cheapest rate, but to find the right rate and the right health plan mix. Finding quality health plans ultimately saves our clients money over time by eliminating the need to change health plans

every year.”
