Chris Mahoney 09/29/2000 02:33 PM To: Jeffrey A Shankman/HOU/ECT@ECT, Mike McConnell/HOU/ECT@ECT, John L Nowlan/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: systems developments in london we are working with the systems development group here in london to create for the global products trading group a curve spreadsheet and options calculator (can do cracks spreads and asian options). the aim is that we can have a central site that is accessible to other groups and all traders/marketers in this group to facilitate our ability to service customer business. brian hudson is the person who developed this system for the gas and power groups here in europe and has been recommened to us by steven leppard who heads the IT research department. Without going into the systems history story here I think we are inadequately prepared on this side and need to strengthen in this area. We understand from Steve that in order for them to dedicate the resources required for what we are asking they would like to take on an additional person that would be partly for our and the coal group's acct. Steve can keep this individual busy with other projects so it would not be a full time expense for Global Products. our excel spreadsheets methodology is not stable enough given the increasing unreliability of the London servers which keep falling over and thus the traders without any pricing tools. This is what brought about our discussions with the IT department to try and improve the present system.
