We will support your effort to make it a success. However, I have a few concerns: Whatever the local differences, the commercial effort will be very similar to that in Brazil. Therefore, I recommend you involve the relevant commercial people there, so we can replicate experiences and lessons learned. I agree and I have proposed whoever the applicable Sao Paulo resources are that will have responsibility for EOL should be part of the process either via our weekly conference calls or physically present in Argentina during strategic periods of implementation. The relevant Sao Paulo functions should decide how important this is to them and allocate time and resources accordingly. Can you please specify your resource requirements for IT support for both implementation and operation. I do not believe we are adequately staffed and we can not afford to have any S?o Paulo IT resources sucked into this without proper planning. We have always tried not to suck on Sao Paulo unless absolutely necessary. We will continue to operate in this manner. We have kept the appropriate people aware of our status and situation on a weekly basis and I believe we have all the necessary resources up and running now. I will have a better feel after my meetings this week. The bandwidth installed from BA to Houston is not sufficient to support the operation of front and back office. Lead time for upgrades is 90 days. We have been aware of this need for a period of time. We will need a solution to the time schedule you are proposing. Please assist in this effort and let me know what our options are. In the future, I will appreciate to be informed and consulted on any activities in our region involving Enron Net Works. You have been involved in our meetings over the past few months although Patrick has indicated we missed you in the scheduling of the latest implementation meeting . We will cc everyone to avoid not fully communicating in the future. I will also forward the full implementation schedule and assignments to the above cc list. If you have any additional concerns please contact me directly. MFG Thanks, Steve ---------------------- Forwarded by Steve Nagy/SA/Enron on 19/07/2000 07:50 --------------------------- Enron International From: Julie Ramos 19/07/2000 02:37 To: Steve Nagy/SA/Enron@Enron cc: Patrick Hansen/SA/Enron@Enron, Ariel Bruch/SA/Enron@Enron Subject: Contents for todays meeting Here are the documents that Patrick sent to us for the meeting. The following is a summary of the meeting. Argentina wants to be live on Sept 1. They want to be in a simulation mode for the last two weeks of August. There is concern on Scott's part about the ability to do this. He indicated that the test environments cannot provide a complete simulation flow. One driver for the timing appears to be the board meeting scheduled for Buenos Aires on October 11. They want to be in the air by then. Maybe even time a market splash for then. They are concerned about the bandwidth and the time to get it upgraded. Michael wants it upgraded by August 15. This is close to impossible unless Houston manages to pull major strings with the vendors. Interestingly, BA is averaging 40% utilization these days (post PEP). Internet wil be off the link probably the first or second week on August. If necessary we can cut back the number of tie lines as a stop gap measure. Argentina is planning on having Sitara available by August 31 so they can use it to replace CPR. The support staff does not think this will be any problems at all. They have already started the work and they indicated to me that there is little else to do. Mario Cardoso has left Enron. He was replaced by Leonardo Pacheco. I will try to meet him while in Houston. The issue of how to train is still open. Options are to send someone from Houston to BA to train. Or send someone from BA to Houston,. They are not yet going up on Enpower and the P&L is done in Houston so the support staff in Houston thinks that the best thing would be to send Veronica to Houston. She is the one who currently works on CPR and will work with Sitara. From what I have seen, it is possible that Carolina would also benefit from this. I will bring this point up to Patrick and suggest that he talk this over with support staff and Scott Mills and see if they are comfortable. Patrick, what do you think. I will check into the password control process in Houston (EOL client passwords) so I can report on how it is done. Then we can check our process for Argentina. Patrick has also asked me to look into the Help Desk procedures for the apps support (for example Sitara), and the end client help desk. I will be finding out about this tomorrow. Apparently there are print problems with CPR. Ariel, can you look into this with Veronica and call Martha Stevens to help get this resolved. Martha Stevens will gather some materials she has about the apps flows and get them to me. They walked my through the basic processes (very nutshell version). Please let me know if you have any questions.
