Enron is a member of our group and I was friends with Alberto Gude, Enron's former IT Director. I have a request that I wondered if you could help with. Perez Companc - a big oil and gas company in Argentina - is trying to understand how some of the big US companies are dealing with IT. Basically interested in issues such as sourcing arrangements, structure (centralized/decentralized/distributed), customer relationships, use of packaged software, 'e' issues, and such like. They want me to try to set up meetings with some key US companies here in Houston. Among the companies which I suggested they talk to is yours. Do you think someone/some group would be willing to talk to a contingent of Perez Companc folks? Would Enron be willing to share things which weren't considered competitive secrets with them?? They were hoping to come up either the first or second week in March. My role is to try to put together visits to the Shell/Texaco JV, Shell, Texaco, Exxon-Mobil, Conoco, BHP, Enron, Chevron. Do you think it is possible? Again, nothing of a competitive nature has to be offered, they just are trying to determine what they ought to be doing with respect to IT. Thanks in advance. ------Rudy Hirschheim ************************************************************ Rudy Hirschheim Tenneco/Chase International Chair & Professor of Information Systems C.T.
