4813 - Summary/Objective
4814 -
481401 - Follow up ref SDS 16 0000. ref SDS 14 0000.
481402 -
481403 - Jerry said that he has appreciated getting continuing correspondence
481404 - on Gary's progress at Aerospace company.
481406 -  ..
481407 - Jerry said that SDS was discussed at a meeting yesterday where CSG
481408 - management reviewed problems encountered in a major rollout last month
481409 - of a software upgrade to 50K customers.  Since that time everyone has
481410 - been involved in putting out fires, so Jerry may not have had time to
481411 - work with SDS in any case the past few weeks.
481413 -  ..
481414 - Jerry related this morning that during this meeting, he advised CSG
481415 - executives that to reduce the problems that occurred with the rollout,
481416 - CSG needs to consider SDS.
481418 -  ..
481419 - I believe Jerry said that Jack Nichols (not sure about first name),
481420 - who is Jerry's boss' boss, i.e., two levels above Jerry, indicated
481421 - that CSG would do the SDS project called out in the Agreement,
481422 - ref OF 1 0399, which was signed on 030726. ref SDS 5 6O5I
481424 -  ..
481425 - This will be reviewed again in a meeting next Tuesday on 030923, and
481426 - Jerry will call at 1100 with the decision on this matter.
481428 -  ..
481429 - Nichols, also, told Jerry that because Jerry has a lot of management
481430 - responsibilities, he should assign somone else to learn and apply SDS
481431 - for the purpose of evaluating how SDS can improve CSG management,
481432 - productivity and earnings.
481434 -  ..
481435 - This aligns with the letter to Jerry on 030822 pointing out that it
481436 - would be difficult for Jerry to devote the time required to learn SDS
481437 - while also holding down continuing management responsibilities.
481438 - ref SDS 16 MD7Q
481439 -
481440 -     The timing has also been helpful by providing opportunity to put
481441 -     in place improvements to SDS, reported on 030902. ref SDS 17 0001
481443 -  ..
481444 - If someone else evaluates SDS we need to extend the agreement to that
481445 - person, and we need the signed agreement from CSG that SDS is a
481446 - proprietary product of Welch, per planning on 030808. ref SDS 9 G25G
