Meeting Details (Important &To Do,s8 Please review red highlights.)

Portal. 
Price-Waterhouse demonstrated Hewlitt Packard's benchmark portal.  Before 
this portal, HP had 9000 webpages and some 300 competing channels.  They 
consolidated their webpages down to 900.  Now they have one portal with a 
host of seamless applications available through a single sign-on process.  
Approximately 90% of employees use this tool.  The portal was unveiled in 
October of 2000.  The $30 million project costs were realized by February, 
2001.  In cost savings, HR alone has saved $10 million since October, 2000.  

HP sees their portal as an ever evolving tool.  They have planned phased 
releases with new applications in new languages.  HP has a governance 
committee operating to evaluate the current tool and plan for application 
additions.  At the BU/FU level not all HP entities participate in the 
governance committee.  Some elect to resolve these issues at the BU/FU 
level.  

PW's portal uses both Verity and Infoseek as their search engines.  The task 
force will work with PW contacts at HP to learn about their experience with 
both these tools.  

According to HP the key to success for a portal project is change 
management.  Communicate, communicate, communicate.  

Brandon Rigney's team has completed work on the portal "Look and Feel".  His 
team is recommending the portal name:  anywhere.enron.com.  Brandon will be 
presenting the "Look and Feel" to Allen Elliott's team Friday, 2/16/01 
morning.   

A list of the applications prioritized for development was reviewed with the 
task force.  This list is a reflection of what was identified "in scope" in 
the charter, what was collected from the portal surveys, and what killer 
applications are being targeted.  Joe Wong will circulate the final approved 
list next week.

UDM/ESE. 
Verity has been selected as the UDM/ESE tool of choice to pilot.  Sue Vasan 
has been identified as the internal Business Analysts/Project Coordinator for 
the UDM/ESE pilot.  Sue, who works for Debbie Brackett in Rick Buy's 
organization, will be working this pilot effort for the next three weeks 
minimum.  Thank you to Debbie Brackett for identifying support. Debbie's 
effort is testament to this teams intent to follow Steve Kean's advice to 
deliver project objectives with minimal costs.  

All task force members are to identify targeted audiences to test the UDM/ESE 
tool.  Be prepared to provide your list of UDM/ESE pilot participants to Sue 
Vasan at next week's task force meeting.  This list may be the original list 
of employees you circulated the portal survey to.

All task force members are to identify a list of BU/FU applications to target 
a UDM/ESE tool to search on (e.g. LiveLink, HR systems, etc.).  Be prepared 
to provide this list at next week's task force meeting. 

IM Strategy Proposal.
Per Steve Kean, the Task Force should continue focusing on delivering our 
objectives with little expenses tagged to this project.  Task force members 
are encouraged to provide resources and support for all task force 
initiatives.

Allan Sommer is scheduled to deliver a draft of the IM Strategy Proposal.  
Allan will deliver his pre-draft work to Marie end of week.
