I'd like to know what you think. Please forward to the appropriate members of your staff. We'd like to help in any way we can. We'd like to schedule a conference call with your staff at your earliest convenience to discuss your VPN needs.

I'll send that along as soon as it's ready. After you and your associates read it, I think you'll discover that we provide a VPN tool that eases provisioning of Nortel Contivity, Cisco IOS, Altiga and PIX, as well as VPN management and security policy auditing. This would compliment your existing solutions and greatly expand your ability to penetrate the market with your product offering. Let me know technical questions you come up with and I'll get our CTO to answer them for you.

TBD Networks is a Secure VPN Management software company here in Silicon Valley. We believe Enron could benefit from using our highly scalable software to manage VPNs Enterprise-wide by: 1) Speeding up the setup and provisioning time for tens of thousands of VPNs. 2) Uniquely Vendor-Independent: Supporting all types of VPNs (Remote Access/Site-to-site/Extranet), based on equipment, products and technologies from Cisco IOS, PIX, Altiga, Nortel and Check Point. 3) Reducing training and support needs by using our easy-to-use, web-based GUI based on high-level policies, hiding low-level, vendor-specific interfaces. 4) Providing significantly higher levels of security and control VPNs via advanced features such as random policy auditing and proactive service monitoring. We would be very interested in meeting with someone at Enron to find out how you would like to proceed. Who would you suggest we contact?
