7.0. "Aetna Financial" by MERIDN::MANGER (Captain Network) Sun Feb 21 1988 13:41

    I'll give it a try. I am currently on site supporting AETNA life
    Financial Division, Hartford Connecticut. They have four VAX 8xxx
    processors clusterd and are providing a variety of services to the
    user base for financial work.
    
    A very large Ethenet (Fiber-optic) backbone network is installed,
    and connectivity is shared between VAX's, PC's as DECnet nodes,
    and PC's as terminals, yes even VT3xx's via terminal servers.
    
    This account is about 16 months young, and going strong.  Expecting
    a total of 8 more VAX 8xxx processor over the next 18 months.

7.1Reference requestHANEY::GOBEYMon Feb 22 1988 11:342
    Do we have any people, either within Digital or within Aetna that
    can be used as references for any of the work going on there?
7.2AEtna as a Potential Reference SiteCTOAVX::MURPHYFri Jan 06 1989 19:2310
    Hi!  I'm Mary Murphy and am assigned to AEtna - Corporate Division.
    There are VAX Systems in every Division of AEtna today (although
    we have had more success in some divisions than others).  AEtna
    is generally reticent about allowing Digital or any vendor to use
    them as a reference site.  However, they have agreed to be used
    as a reference site upon request for ALL-IN-1 and the DECnet/SNA
    Gateway - CT on a very limited basis.  If you contact me, I will
    direct you to the appropriate sales rep. to arrange a customer contact.
    I can be reached at DTN 325-1869 or (203) 244-1869.  There are
    currently eight sales representatives assigned to AEtna.
7.3AEtna Referenceable ProjectsCTOAVX::MURPHYWed Mar 08 1989 19:0121
    There are certain opportunities which can be referenced to other
    accounts.  These opportunities include the following so far:
    
    Legal Department (ALL-IN-1) (Contact:  Mary Murphy, DTN 325-1869)
    
    DECnet/SNA Channel Attached Gateway (Contact:  Ralph Amendola, DTN
    325-1817)
    
    General information about the Digital/AEtna relationship (Mary Murphy)
    
    Artificial Intelligence Projects (Contact:  Mary Murphy)
    
    Executive Support Systems (Customer is at too high a level (President)
    to act as reference.  However, this opportunity was a success and
    is referenceable.)  (Contact:  Mary Murphy, DTN 325-1869)
    
    AEtna generally does not like to promote any vendor's products. 
    Consequently, we don't ask them to act as a reference too often.
    If you require additional information about the nature of our projects,
    please contact Dan Socci, Corporate Account Manager - AEtna, or
    Mike Lafrancis, Sales Unit Manager - AEtna.
