Dear Colleagues, My name is Becky Goertemoeller, I am the sales support specialist assigned to Associated Insurance Companies, Inc. (dba Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana). Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana is the twelfth largest Blue plan in the country. Like many traditional indemnity insurance companies, AIC is branching beyond their conventional business into new markets. They are accomplishing this by decentralization and major acquisitions. Digital is being considered as the vendor of choice for the decentralized processing. Howard Aughinbaugh, the Senior Account Manager and I are working very hard to educate and inform IBM's largest account in Indiana, of the Digital Differences and why Digital is the obvious alternative. AIC would like to contact some reference accounts that have gone through a similar decentralization and IBM conversion process. Does anyone know of any accounts that would fit this description? The VP of MIS would like to contact someone by phone, then if appropriate, arrange a site visit. Please let us know if you can be of assistance. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Becky Goertemoeller dtn 443-3242 Howard Aughinbaugh dtn 443-3221

You may not have spoken to Ed, but here I am. Actually, Becky, we
met in Columbus at the DECday there.
First: Michael, and all noters, should remember NOT TO TYPE IN UPPER
CASE IN VAXNOTES! It is considered to be YELLING!!!!!
Second, Becky, call Jim Brent @MWO and talk to him about Milwaukee
Insurance. It is no bigger than Allendale, but is a total conversion
job. They are a champion of Digital also.

While they are not of the size you are looking for, and are not
very "physically" distributed, Corroon & Black may be another option.
They have pretty much their whole operation on VAX (Including health
claims processing which should go on line shortly). You could wish
to check with the account rep, Tim Westley to find out more.
Good Luck

Mass Mutual is currently developing a Health Claim procvessing system
using Digital VAXes as the front end. This is not a reference account
yet, but if you contact Jim Intravia at the Springfield Digital
office you should be able to get the details.
