The Apollo and Beyond project team and Enron's business units are currently preparing for the project's final implementation. Apollo and Beyond is an Enron initiative tasked with laying a common financial, human resources, project management, and procurement foundation throughout the majority of Enron's businesses. EBS "Go-Live" On April 1st, Enron Broadband Services supplemented their current SAP functionality with HR Online and SAP HR, including payroll and organizational structure management. HR Online enables the EBS population to enter their own time, view and update their personal information, and view their vacation time and individual payroll information via Enron's intranet. Additionally, this implementation enhanced the SAP Financial, Project and Procurement processes that EBS has had in operation since April 1, 1999. These enhancements included an EBS pilot of B2B, a web-based requisitioning tool. Among the benefits of these enhancements will be improved information flow across business units currently on SAP. July 1 "Go-Live" This final Apollo and Beyond implementation will directly impact more than 15,000 Enron employees and contractors -- odds are that you are one of them! People impacted on July 1st include: all Enron employees paid out of Corporate Payroll in Houston, excluding Azurix employees the financial communities of Enron Energy Services, Enron Investment Partners, Enron North America, Enron Renewable Energy Corporation, Gas Pipeline Group, Global Finance, and Global Products. the project management communities of Enron North America, Gas Pipeline Group, Global Asset Operations, Global Finance, and Global Products. the human resources communities of Corporate, Global E&P, Enron Energy Services, Enron Engineering and Construction Company, Enron Investment Partners, Enron North America, Enron Renewable Energy Corporation (Houston only), the international regions, Gas Pipeline Group, Global Finance, and Global Products. General SAP training will be available in late April via the Enron intranet. Additional, specific, SAP classes and workshops are scheduled to begin in May and continue through August. Information on the project can be obtained through the Enron intranet at http://sap.enron.com and by contacting Business Unit representatives currently working with the project. A list of Business Unit representatives is located on the intranet site. Additional information related to the July 1st implementation will be communicated to you over the next few months. Thank you.
