Was Jim asking questions about the number of employees in ENW who would rem=
ain with the Estate? =20 =20 Summary looks good - our meeting with Mike Deville on 2002 budgets is sched= uled for tomorrow. --Sally -----Original Message----- From: Piper, Greg=20 Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 4:19 PM To: Fallon, Jim Cc: McMahon, Jeffrey; Jones, Robert W.- HR Exec; Detmering, Tim; Beck, Sall= y Subject: Current ENW=20 A quick summary on where ENW is relative to NetCo and the Estate. =20 Some quick numbers first (all numbers are exclusive of the pipelines and St= eve Hotte's group). =20 =20 We will have about 117 employees remaining in the estate on the application= side (Perlman) after about 100 go with NetCo. We will have 121 employees = remaining with the estate on the infrastructure side (Rub for now) after 60= go with NetCo. We will have 9 on estate EOL IT (that will end up with the= estate application group) after 40 go with NetCo. We will have about 48 f= rom EA operations (Hall) remaining with the estate after about 170 go with = the NetCo. We will have a few EOL operations people after about 40 go with= NetCo. We also have individuals remaining on the operations side for EGM = and EIM under Kevin Sweeney. We also have estate employees under Dayao wit= h EES IT who have gas and power skills as well as EES operations people und= er Beth Apollo. These numbers are all fluid and are not final as the NetCo= deal and the people associated with it ebb and flow. Currently, the estim= ate for ENW employees going to NetCo from all IT, operations and EOL operat= ions is approximately 410. Remaining in the estate to support non-pipeline= IT and operations is approximately 453. =20 As we discussed this morning, we are trying to determine if the approximate= ly 453 remaining ENW employees are the right number of people for the estat= e (EA, EGM, EIM, EBS, EES, Corp, etc.) for IT and operations as well as if = they are the right people period. We have draft org charts for estate infr= astructure and estate application and are doing a skill set review of the e= mployees in IT who are slated to stay with the estate but until NetCo is a = done deal and the estate wholesale unit finalizes business plans, most of t= he IT estate people will be a pool of resources supporting both efforts. A= lso, everyone in ENW knows which list they are on. =20 Also, we have spent money on additional hardware and a particular Unify lic= ense now (did it through Bowen and Weil as ordinary course) so that effecti= ve duplication of all wholesale applications can be completed hopefully by = the end of January. Therefore, the plan is to split ENW people out the day= a NetCo deal gets done, split ownership of hardware the day a NetCo deal g= ets signed, agree that NetCo owns all the IP with all the Enron developed a= pplications and they get a complete copy and the estate has a free license = back in perpetuity and gets a copy of the same set of applications the day = a deal gets done. We will get that duplication of all those applications do= ne by the end of January (target date anyway). We will also begin a 6 month= services agreement the day a deal gets signed. Even though we will do the= above, NetCo will still have their hardware and their applications sitting= on that hardware initially in estate data centers (34 ECN, 9 ECS and Ardmo= re) and NetCo will also be on the estate network. Hopefully NetCo will tra= nsition off those in that 6 months, hence the need for the services agreeme= nt. =20 We also submitted a 2002 cash budget to Corp. based on our estimate of rema= ining headcount, licenses, etc. but until we see what it is we are supporti= ng, it is a placeholder. =20 Your thoughts on this? =20 Continue to include Sally in all your meetings if possible so she can coord= inate the right support across your complete wholesale efforts going forwar= d. =20 Thanks.
