IM Strategy Proposal.
Steve Kean joined the task force for a project review and to discuss if one 
executive sponsor and one senior coordinator for IM should be appointed.  Per 
Steve's recommendation, the task force should consider Steve as the executive 
sponsor for the project.  No senior coordinator for the effort will be 
appointed until some incremental successes are achieved.  Steve referenced 
the Louise Kitchen/Enron Online experience where Louise and team, independent 
of their day jobs, developed and launched Enron Online without budget or 
traditional sponsorship.  We should continue operating in this vein.  Steve 
will be available to place calls to the BU/FUs to rally support.  Our focus 
should remain on identifying and developing sticky portal applications to 
improve the flow of information which ultimately should increase the flow of 
revenue.  Steve's message to IM Task Force:  do what it takes to make it 
happen.

During the discussion with Steve, we reviewed HP's best practices portal.  
Steve would like to view the HP demonstration of their best practices 
portal.  Assignment:  Marie work with Maureen McVicker to identify a time 
Allan Sommer and HP are available for demo.  Allan Sommer to arrange a demo 
of this application at next week's task force meeting.

Assignment:  All task force members are encouraged to generate "killer" 
application ideas.  Be prepared to submit your list of five "killer 
applications" at next week's IM meeting.  Note, Allen Elliott's IT team will 
need these next week to begin development work on these recommendations.  
Review Pegi Newhouse's list of HP portal applications below.

*Another important feature: Single Sign on!   Many of these items link to 
external sites but it is all seamless to the user. 
Look & feel remains consistent throughout.  NOTE: HP saw measurable benefits 
were realized when they were able to renegotiate their service agreement with 
their benefits provider (outsourced like ours) because people had all of the 
information at their fingertips and call volume decreased
significantly.

Portal. 
Allen Elliott's team has begun development work for the respective BU/FUs.  
Allen will be meeting with Brandon Rigney this week to discuss "look and 
feel".  

There is a Single Sign on Task Force meeting every Thursday morning at 10:00 
in EB1841.  John Gillespie will be sending representation to this meeting 
this week.  Feel free to attend these meetings.  Integral to our best 
practices portal is a single sign application entry.

UDM/ESE. 
Inktomi and Verity appear to be the choice contenders.  Autonomy requires 
work on individual employees.  The task force does not expect Enron's culture 
would support this requirement.  Debbie Brackett will be working with the 
Software Selection Team to negotiate UDM/ESE pilot participants.  

Paul collected high level pricing for each vendor.  Below is a table of that 
information.  Paul is working with GSS's Peter Goebel to gain additional 
pricing support. Note, Paul's final report has extensive licensing 
information for each vendor. 

Vendor	Initial Cost	Annual Support & Maintenance
Autonomy	$3,000,000	$540,000 / year support
Inktomi	$1,375,000	$206,250 / year support
Verity	$682,500
	($487,500  +  $162,500 + $32,500)	$130,000 / year support
