We plan to achieve this through an unique methodology which couples high technical competency and low cost structure for the Energy Industry. You would be pleased to note that such a strategic partnership and our unique process could save Enron close to 50% on development & integration costs and yet enhance competitive advantage on various e-commerce initaitives. As an example, we have established credentials of completing projects within $ 1.0 Million as against the projected $ 2.0 M for the same projects (based on proposals from Big Consulting firms). I see a good amount of synergy in a partnership with Enron , given our experience in the e-business development space with over 600 consultants in our Strategic Sourcing , Application/B2B Integration , Content Management, CRM and Wireless Practices. Our competencies are built around the solutions of leading e-commerce vendors such as MOAI, Ariba, eBreviate, Webmethods, TIBCO, Vignette, Interwoven, E.Piphany, Kana, Epicentric, TopTier, BEA , etc. Moreover, our development experience with more than 35 Exchanges/e-Marketplaces including Forest Express, e2Open, RMX/Chevron, American Petroleum Exchange, etc and Fortune companies such as Chevron, Goldman Sachs, Barclays Bank, Meryl Lynch, HP, Cisco has honed our skills around the business processes in the e-marketplaces, on-line colloboration, supply chain automation, e-procurement, e-sourcing, etc. Andy, We would like to understand your technology objectives and see if we can bring additional value to you through our expertise. I would like to set up a telephone call next week with you for about 30 minutes, share our value proposition with you and agree on steps to explore areas where TechSpan can add value.
