confirmcorp info see the comment below on williams ' confirmation site . sounds similar to what we are proposing on cl . one question i ' m exploring right now is whether we could save more money from an enron perspective and achieve greater marketability with the model that confirmcorp proposes with automated matching vs . the commodity logic / williams approach that depends on users reviewing / approving confirms ( we ' ve simply put the current process online so to speak ) . we need to push for a more radical change / improvement on a faster timeline . i still believe confirms is the correct area to be focusing on , as i mentioned in our meeting with louise , but we need to seriously review what we propose to deliver and how . is confirmcorp a viable company to bring under the enron umbrella ? i think we should be concerned that late entry with less functionality will erode our ability to sign up customers . i don ' t think each large marketer will want to log in to several sites to clear their confirmations with each of their large counterparties . can we find out if williams has further plans for their service that would compete with commodity logic ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by mary solmonson / hou / ect on 11 / 07 / 2000 03 : 08 pm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - " chris papousek " on 11 / 07 / 2000 11 : 10 : 15 am please respond to to : cc : subject : confirmcorp info dear ron : i recently sent you information relating to confirmcorp via fedex . i trust you have received it by now . if you have any questions , please do not hesitant to call . i will follow up with you in one week . regards , chris papousek president , confirmation clearing corporation ( 713 ) 526 - 3000 ps williams energy just came out with " williams customerfirst " , a website that contains all their confirmations . while eliminating faxes , this puts the onus of verification on the counterparty and assumes there is a confirmation staff on the other end to do the checkout . confirmcorp will make even this advanced approach obsolete .
