I gather that they are still using spreadsheets, which in and of itself is not necessarily a problem. Are their positions not being captured and aggregated? What does Scott Mills have to say about this? --Sally ---------------------- Forwarded by Sally Beck/HOU/ECT on 12/11/2000 11:05 AM --------------------------- From: Ted Murphy 12/01/2000 09:06 AM To: Shona Wilson/NA/Enron@ENRON cc: Bjorn Hagelmann/HOU/ECT@ECT, Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT, Cassandra Schultz/NA/Enron@Enron Subject: Re: EnPower production - Argentina Power Shona, When we returned from Argentina we concluded that a proper risk management system needed to be implemented in order to posture the office for success. They have been trading there for over 2 years which is plenty of time to do so. We used Enpower as a phrase meaning "Proper Risk System". If there are real questions about the functionality of such, then that obviously begs the question as to why we allow someone to transact on behalf of Enron 7500 miles away that doesn't understand. That being said Mike Guerrero seems perfectly hip to having the best platform available. It was Enron NetWorks that said that they could implement a "controlled spreadsheet environment" that would have ALL the functionality of a proper risk system, including risk aggregation into RisktRAC, credit aggregation and tracking, option valuation, scalability, security and stability. I will not opine on such matters. They must produce or stop transacting. Ted Enron North America Corp.

I know I discussed this during a meeting with Ted and Donna a few months ago and we decided we could live with the change to a secure environment in lieu of a full EnPower implementation. Although EnPower would be great to have, if commercial decides that the office does not have the transaction volume there is not much we can do. As I understand it, there are further issues with capturing the appropriate curve shift info from these offices in RiskTrac. Let's discuss what we can do and what decisions need to be made.

Based on below, we will start looking for someone with strong Access/Excel knowledge to come up with a different solution. Everyone will have to regroup and determine next steps and look at revised timelines.

Richard Enron Technology From: Steve Nat @ ENRON 11/08/2000 08:07 AM To: Richard Burchfield/HOU/ECT@ECT, Beth Perlman/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Trang Le/HOU/ECT@ECT, Duong Luu/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: EnPower production - Argentina Power Richard / Beth, We have been asked by risk to get Argentina started on EnPower. Are you OK with us moving on this? A couple things to consider... Our instance strategy for EnPower is determined by geographic location (bandwidth), volumes, and market similarity (functionality). Based on this, I want to set South America up on their own instance. EnPower will have the following instances long term: EUR, US, CND, SA, AUS, JPN, IND. We will continue to pursue a common code base and logical data model. There is additional time and cost associated with setting up a new instance, however, I am concerned about continuing to pile new business units into a production environment that will eventually need to be split. Glad to discuss... Please respond quickly, as we are waiting to pull the trigger on this...

Given the fact that we'll also have deals on ENA, I would think that we could be on the Houston server. Just let us know. In the mean time, we'll be working with the various Global groups to have the proper desk, portfolio, facilities etc.... set up. Thanks for your help, Trang x3-6996
