(Aug. 9, 1999) - San Rafael, Calif.-based ReSourcePhoenix.com - a leading provider of outsourced business information technology solutions - announced today that Aetna Retirement Services has begun using the state-of-the-art Marketing And Rep Sales (M.A.R.S.) System. Hartford, Conneticut-based Aetna Retirement Services sought an integrated application system to help manage and add value to overall sales and marketing activities and customer service. With comprehensive, up-to-date customer information now available to its sales force, Aetna Retirement Services plans to create a team-selling environment while increasing overall sales force productivity, controlling costs and maximizing production. "We are excited about our business partnership with Aetna Retirement Services," said Alyce Piper, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for ReSourcePhoenix.com.

System's scalability and portability gives clients the opportunity to integrate with multiple external systems and offers the flexibility for a large number of users to network. The M.A.R.S.
