Retirement Calculator and Retirement Services Customization Now Fully
Enabled by Microsoft's Developer Platform.

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) May 8, 2006 -- Retirement planning
website NewRetirement.com today announced complete implementation of its
suite of retirement calculators
R> and services using Microsoft's .Net Framework 2.0, SQL Server 2005
and Visual Studio 2005. Using the developer platform's standard ASP.Net
2.0 features, like Membership and Profiles, NewRetirement offers a
customized user experience. Microsoft's developer platform enabled
NewRetirement to deploy rapidly the website's visitor personalization
features. These features give users the ability to evaluate their need
for products, such as a reverse mortgage
VPR> or long term care health care insurance
rce=MSDEVPR> , and to asses and track their retirement personal
finances.

Built from the ground up with Microsoft's software, NewRetirement's free
retirement calculator, the retirement services inquiry process, and
community advice bulletin boards interactively respond to visitors'
input. These tools provide customized presentation of financial planning
options matched to a user's personal financial situation.

A good example of so-called Web 2.0 development is use of AJAX in the
retirement calculator. The result is a smooth and user-friendly
experience. After a visitor enters their unique financial data, the
calculator provides suggestions for improving their retirement plan. For
example, suggestions might be that a retiree increase their current
income with a reverse mortgage, or reduce expenses with a mortgage
refinance, or protect their assets with long term care insurance. The
output is in an easily understood format and accessible to Boomers and
seniors who are actively using the Internet to help create a retirement
plan.

NewRetirement.com's retirement information is presented in four mutually
reinforcing sections: Retirement 101, the Retirement Calculator,
Retirement Services, and Retirement Community.

Retirement 101 highlights risks faced by today's retirees and offers
tips for effectively managing these risks.

The Retirement Planning Calculator provides a retirement status
assessment and suggests actions that may improve asset protection,
increase current income, and reduce expenses.

The Retirement Services section describes the advantages and
disadvantages of products and services available in the marketplace used
to achieve the objectives of securing assets, increasing income, and
reducing expenses. The highlighted services include: reverse mortgages,
mortgage refinancing, debt consolidation, annuities, relocation,
financial advisors, supplemental health care insurance and long term
care insurance. For visitors that ask to take the next step, such as
contacting an product expert or purchasing a product or service,
NewRetirement's implementation of Microsoft tools makes it easy to
contact multiple pre-screened providers of these products and services
with little user effort.

The Community section of the site provides a forum for members of the
retirement community to post their own tips and advice to the entire
community. Visitors can even ask questions of their peers and visiting
experts in this bulletin board style forum.
