Mike - Our three most critical IT needs are as follows:

Thunderball - physical functionality is in the process of being tested; should be fully implemented by end of Oct. This will
significantly automate the process (saving headcount) and tighten controls
Global Valuation - will replace the current archaic risk system; will greatly enhance reporting capabilities and decrease the
amount of manual work around Risk Mgmt.
Freight Systems - critical to allowing us to manage operational costs at an acceptable level (i.e. contribute to a profitable
margin amount); needs to be implemented ASAP - any delays will add costs to the bottom line

Let me know if you need more details or have any questions.
