Subject: EnronOnline in Argentina

Patrick,

I am pleased to hear that Argentina wants to be live with EnronOnline 
September 1. 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

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.  

Thanks,

Julie
