    Try contacting Arlene Able (DTN  351-2322), she is the DEC rep on
    the DWA (Dyer Wells Associates) account.  I believe that they offer
    the kind of system that you are loppking for.
    
    Regards

11.3How about TSHNCVAX1::WALSHThu Apr 21 1988 13:0819
    The only current vendor I  know of is TSH (alias The Software House)
    in Atlanta, GA. Their system is focused on traditional life, so
    I don't know if they are what you are looking for. Contact:
    
    Bill Leroy
    The Software House
    PO Box 52661
    Atlanta, GA 30355
    (404)231-1484
    
    I  have  dealt personally with this gentleman, and have found him
    to have some refreshing views about application development for
    insurance. He is willing to do some customization, and is currently
    expanding his system to include Universal Life.
    
    Hope this helps.....

11.4Let's Reach Out...HOCUS::OHARAMysterious BagmanFri Apr 22 1988 08:525
    Is anyone trying to sign on CAPSCO as a CMP.  They have one of the
    best products on the market.  Current version runs on 4300's, Prime
    and Burroughs mini's (1900's).  Seems as though they'd jump at the
    chance to add VAX to their line.
    
11.5Another (faint) PossibilityNCVAX1::WALSHFri Apr 22 1988 12:3120
    Betty,
    
    Looking through my notes, I found a company in Florida called USSI
    that sells a system written in RPG. It currently runs on System
    36's and 38's. With an RPG conversion service, you might convince
    them its worth it to convert over. 
    
    Not having actually seen their software or talked to them, 1)I don't
    know if you can get them interested or not, 2) I'm not sure even
    if they are that they have the right solution, and 3) this may not
    be consistent with the types of programs the Insurance Marketing folks 
    feel will fit their vision.
    
    On an editorial note, many of these smaller companies, especially
    those who write for this level of IBM computer, have come up with
    some interesting and different approaches, and may feel "boxed in"
    by IBM as the mid-tier of their product line changes. It may be
    and excellent opportunity for Digital to take advantage of the existing
    market environtment to get some new innovative products under our
    belts.
