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.

7.1	Reference request	HANEY::GOBEY	`Mon Feb 22 1988 11:34`	2
	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?
7.2	AEtna as a Potential Reference Site	CTOAVX::MURPHY	`Fri Jan 06 1989 19:23`	10
	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.
7.3	AEtna Referenceable Projects	CTOAVX::MURPHY	`Wed Mar 08 1989 19:01`	21
	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.
