Re: FERC Data Warehouse

I asked Ozlem to give me a status report on FERC efforts to date.
Her update may be helpful in determining whether to meet tomorrow.
It reiterates the value of having Sean O'Reilly attend.

Subject: Re: FERC Data Warehouse

FERC Background:
When Sensecorp was hired to install the ACTA Rapidmarts, Enron requested a
FERC Rapidmart which had not yet been defined by ACTA. In order to fulfill
Enron's requirements, Sensecorp hired a FERC expert, Sean O'Reilly to assist
us in defining and developing a FERC Rapidmart. At the time that Sean
structured the Rapidmart he stated that the FERC information did not appear
to reconcile with FI appropriately and that some changes in SAP were probably
required to ensure that the information was correct. Also before Sean left,
he demonstrated to some Enron business representatives the functionality that
would be available in the FERC Rapidmart but that the information would still
need to be investigated and appropriately reviewed.

Project Sunrise:
At the time that Project Sunrise was initiated and there appeared to be some
downtime for the Sensecorp developers, I approached Beverly Fennessy to
contact FERC business representatives to review the FERC information and
determine if it could be used with a few minor changes. ( I was hoping that
we might be able to quickly complete something that might be of use to the
business) We then set up a meeting with the FERC representatives to review
the data.

FERC Review:
However, as myself and Scott Brudner reviewed the information, we discovered
that we are not FERC experts, and all the value that we would be able to
provide in a meeting is to demonstrate the tables that were selected and the
structure of the data. We would not be able to explain FERC, how the module
worked, or what the information meant. It seemed that there would not be
any true benefit in realizing a meeting to review that information -
especially since we were aware that problems existed in the SAP FERC module
which we would not be able to explain. We felt that the only way to have a
truly productive meeting and progress in the development of FERC was to have
Sean O'Reilly return and assist us. However, since Project Sunrise is still
in the business requirements gathering phase, Beverly thought it was best
(and I agreed) not to charge further development expenses to the project
until we were in that phase of the project. We thought it was best to
investigate and further develop FERC once the project scope had been defined
and FERC was included as a priority. At that point in time we decided to
cancel the meeting and informed the appropriate parties.

Business Interest:
As you can tell from the emails below, there is renewed interest in reviewing
the FERC information and furthering development. However, Scott and myself
will not be able to demonstrate FERC functionality to the business anymore
than was already demonstrated to them by Sean in August. In order to provide
true value, we require the assistance of Sean and/or a tremendous amount of
time to become FERC experts ourselves. Neither of these items are feasible
by tomorrow morning. Please advise how we should proceed.

Thank you,

Tzlem

Will we be proceeding with the Dec 5 meeting? If so, Ozlem could you get
notice out to the original distribution list concerning time and location. I
will be out of the office on Monday, so I would appreciate your assistance in
coordinating the meeting logistics. Thanks.

I feel we should proceed with the Dec 5 meeting, at least to get a better
understanding of what the data warehouse can do for us related to FERC, and
maybe determine just how far along it currently is. The original reason we
were asked to meet on this issue is that it was thought that a lot of work
had already been completed and it wouldn't take much to deliver an end
product. The other attendees, as well as myself, need to understand what this
can do for us as opposed to a potential solution in SAP.

I am not sure the statement below from Ozlem is entirely accurate. In
addtion to Project Sunrise, I have asked Sheila Howard, who is the lead for
the financial team in the ISC, to work with the Project Sunrise team to
understand what your issues are and help determine a solution.

Let me assure you that whether through the Project Sunrise or the ISC, we are
working on your issue and it has NOT dropped off the radar screen. As a
matter of fact, Project Sunrise had a status meeting today, and this came up
several times. I think the only question is "what's the best approach for
solving it"?

I will leave it to Dave, as the ETS representative to Project Sunrise, along
with Sheila, Mark, and the others listed below, to continue to work on a
solution for the FERC problems. Dave - is there any reason NOT to proceed
with the December 5 meeting under these assumptions? I would just ask that
Sheila be included.

Thanks!

If there is going to be no effort to fix my problem as a result of the
change in the effort, I am wondering why I should support the project at all?

Do we have any current Form 2 or other FERC related reporting
requirements/concerns as a result of the "redirection" below?

Dear FERC-interested representatives,

Due to the current redirection of the data warehouse project (which is now
part of Project Sunrise), it has been determined that it is best to postpone
a FERC discussion/analysis until after the collection of business
requirements and final scoping of the project. However, I will be
recommending that a focus group be designated for FERC. Thank you for your
help and patience and I apologize for the upheaval and postponements.

The review by ETS of the FERC data warehouse information will be on Tuesday
December 5th at 10:00am, location TBA. This initial review should last approx
one hour and your input would be greatly appreciated. I will inform you of
the location when this is established. Please feel free to contact me if you
have any questions.
