IT resources - databases and websites

There are increasing requests for IT development resources for databases and
websites within the group. There are two issues involved regarding this
activity: Enron Networks is now charging for such development, and the
production of these many and various projects leads to high maintenance needs
and projects are often abandoned after short use.

If you need a new database, it should be developed in one of the desktop
applications that everyone has - Word, Excel or Access. Such
documents/databases can be shared on the O: Common/Public Affairs drive. If
your needs are more complex than these applications will support, or if your
needs are more global, an effort should be made to fit the data into the
Project Tracking database. Contact Elizabeth Linnell for this global
database.

Products/information to be published to the intranet should be placed on the
existing Public Affairs intranet site. Having multiple sites is confusing to
our customers and an ineffective use of resources, as well as expensive to
develop and maintain. Contact Earlene O'Connell regarding additions to the
website.
