Subject: Quick question: What eSourcing tools are available for Enron exec 
utives who value both gas flow ---and data flows?



"Ajunto is the Enron of IT Sourcing..." ---  Mike Carter, CEO & Founder, 
Ajunto, December 12,  2000
?
"Skilling notes that  skeptics thought Enron was crazy when it dared to make  
electronic??
?markets in energy. His confidence comes  down to his belief in Enron's 
market-making model.???
?"We have a better business model.  It's a fundamentally better business 
model," he repeats.???
?Some $200 billion in trading  activity on an E-commerce site that's less 
than a year old speaks??
?volumes about Enron's  ability to mobilize and execute on whatever it puts 
its mind  to-however??
?the company decides to describe  
itself."??????????????????????????????????????InformationWeek,  11/6/00
?
"As head of two Enron  pipeline subsidiaries, Mike McConnell knew a lot more 
about gas flows??
?than he did about data flows last year  when he got a surprise call from 
Enron President and??
?Chief Operating Officer Jeff  Skilling. Recalls McConnell, "Jeff went into 
this whole  thought??
?process about how the Internet is changing  everything. He said, 'We need to 
make Enron??
?an e-business, and I need a guy that can  run this as a business. We need to 
change the way??
?we view technology.'?? "I thought he was a little crazy and I  said, 'Jeff, 
I'm not a technology person??
?at all,? ?'He  said, 'No, seriously -- this is going to be big.' So I took 
over as CEO of  Enron Global??
?Technology," and thus became the company's  de facto CIO, McConnell 
explains.??????????????
