I've been asked to assist with this effort. I am more than happy to do so. I'm going to use consultants and charge it directly to Enron Canada. Beth ----- Forwarded by Beth Perlman/HOU/ECT on 10/31/2000 08:27 AM ----- David Pope 10/30/2000 05:27 PM To: Mark Pickering/LON/ECT@ECT, Beth Perlman/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Charlie Crossley Cooke/LON/ECT@ECT, Daniel Maitland/LON/ECT@ECT, Rob Milnthorp/CAL/ECT@ECT Subject: Enron Direct Systems for Canada Mark and Beth; Further to our discussions, I have followed up with Beth to talk about resources to build the Enron Canada retail business. She has suggested the we use Cap Gemini to help convert Daniel's systems for the Canadian business. I have also given Beth a name of a systems guy that came recommended that would be an employee here to help translate the differences in the markets and would ultimately be the Dan Maitland of Canada to look after the product as we build the business. I think that it would be very helpful to have Daniel involved in the scoping due to his familiarity with the systems and the settlement requirements with the wires and pipes companies. If Daniel could direct the development out of London, that would be great as well. I heard that he did a great job on the Spanish effort. Dave Delainey and John Lavorato are supportive of building this business here and the Canadian president(Rob Milnthorp) is also keen to grow this business. I think that we can be much more effective using the UK systems than trying to build our own from scratch. I would rather build this without looking to the EES IT resources out of Houston, as I believe that we will be more successful importing the latest ED systems and modifying them for this market in time for market opening--just 2 months away. I really appreciate your help on this, and hope that we can work together to deliver another success to Enron as a whole. I'm sure glad that I know you guys as I know that I will end up with a product that works for us. Don't worry, I will not try any coding myself. Best regards to you both, and I hope you are staying DRY in wet old London Mark. Cheers, Dave
