Enron Mail |
Mike McConnell has been out of the office traveling on business and he asked
me to respond to your message on his behalf. Mike asked me to pass along his sincere thanks for your message and for the invitation, however, he moved out of Enron Net Works and the technology area of Enron effective last August and is no longer involved in that area of the business. Please note that by way of this message, I am sending a copy to Philippe Bibi, CEO, Enron Net Works. You may contact Philippe if you are interested in obtaining a speaker from the technology area of Enron. Thank you again. Cathy Phillips for Mike McConnell "Saunders, Carol S" <csaunders@ou.edu< on 04/20/2001 12:41:46 PM To: "'mike.mcconnell@enron.com'" <mike.mcconnell@enron.com< cc: Subject: an invitation Mr. McConnell, I am a Management Information Systems professor at the University of Oklahoma. I heard you speak about EnronOnline approximately a year ago during one of your visits to the University of Oklahoma. I was captivated by your talk and continue to be impressed with EnronOnline's success in the world of e-business. With this email I am inviting you to serve on a panel that I am assembling for the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) in New Orleans, Louisiana on December 16-19, 2001. ICIS is the premiere conference for IS academicians and is described at http://isds.bus.lsu.edu/icis2001/ Approximately 1200 IS researchers and professors from around the world, as well as IS practitioners, are expected to attend this year's conference. Thus, this conference has a very broad reach within the IS academic community. The panel would be a wonderful venue to share with the IS research and teaching community the e-business inroads that EnronOnline is making. The topic of the panel would be to explore your projections and that of the other panelists about how electronic exchanges may morph over the next five years. You would also be asked to describe the business model used by EnronOnline, and talk about factors promoting its success and issues warranting attention for its future growth. The other three panelists would be myself, Arun Rai (Professor at the eCommerce Institute at Georgia State University), and Marshall McGraw (Business Services Manager for Information & Technology Services at Phillips Petroleum). The panel would last approximately 11/2 hours, but I would not know the specific day (i.e., Dec 17th, 18th or the morning of Dec 19th) until early Fall. I would like to call you and talk with you about your interest in serving on the panel. I will call you on Monday (after you have had some time to recover from your latest trip to Norman). Sincerely, Carol Saunders W.P. Wood Professor of MIS University of Oklahoma 405-325-5732 (work) 405-579-8940 (home) 405-325-7482 (fax) csaunders@ou.edu
