Rick -----Original Message----- From: Enzo Olfati @ENRON [mailto:IMCEANOTES-Enzo+20Olfati+20+3Cholfati+40ispheres+2Ecom+3E+40ENRON@ENRON.com] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 10:41 AM To: Buy, Rick Subject: advanced arbitrage enabling technology out of Caltech Rick, I'd like to introduce you to our company and set-up a one-hourconference call and discussion with you and/or someone you trustto evaluate this opportunity. iSpheres Corporationisco-founded by the Chairman of Computer Science Department at California Institute of Technology. iSpheres enables dynamic arbitrage opportunities in commodities trading. With iSpheres, trading firms wrap applications like steel marketplaces, energy marketplaces, demand planning systems, and production planning systems as components, and derive additional business value by monitoring these components for real time interdependent events and then reacting to those composite events based on business rules. iSpheres provides a software framework for developing and deploying these loosely-coupled Web Services or Meta-Applications. These applications are assembled from multiple components, each of which was previously itself an application and data source, to enable new business processes. For example, a $22 billion investment bank uses the iSpheres Meta Application Framework? to detect and react to interdependent market events. This enables them to optimize and automate the acquisition and response to relevant dynamic events in their Market Intelligence information environment. The build out of the Internet and the rapid deployment of eBusiness applications over last several years has established the need and created the ability to build and deploy loosely-coupled Web Services or Meta Applications. Please advise, otherwise I'll follow up with you in 3-5 days. Thanks, H. Enzo Olfati Account Manager www.iSpheres.com tel.978.461.4840 direct.510.302.6767 P.S. I have also e-mailed this to others at Enron to determine the appropriate contacts to have the discussion with.
