NewRetirement.com Unveils AJAX-Based Retirement Calculator
Suite Fully Enabled By Microsoft's Developer Platform

Retirement planning website NewRetirement.com  announced complete implementation of its suite of retirement calculators 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 or long term care health care insurance, 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.
