Innovative Purchase and Payment tool coming your way!

I am excited to announce a major initiative called iBuyit, a new online
purchase and payment tool. Each of you will be able to use iBuyit to order
or approve purchases from pens to pipe and cable to computers. Our Global
Strategic Sourcing (GSS) and Global Accounting groups have teamed up with
each of your Business Units to build a tool designed to meet your specific
needs.

Special iBuyit features include:
? An eCatalog to help you quickly find the items you need
? Shopping baskets to store your purchases
? Simple recurring purchases
? Automatic routing of invoices for coding and approval

iBuyit will be implemented in stages across ETS, EBS, EES, EWS, Corporate and
Europe during 2001.

Over the next few months, you will be hearing more about iBuyit from your
business unit leadership, including what it can do for you and when you can
expect to use it.
