Subject: Defying Convential Wisdom - Advisory Board Offer

Jeff:

?

I was intrigued by your interview in the 10/30/00 issue of InternetWeek 
Onlineas we seem to share the desire to transform the system.? Despite Enron,
s better business model, robust software infrastructure is as critical to 
Enron,s success as for any other Fortune 1000 company.? Should you agree with 
our mission to deliver that infastructure, we would be most honored to have 
you join our Advisory Board (includes stock option compensation).

?

SEADE Software is developing a new category of software we call an 
Application Deployment Engine (ADE).? I stress that this is a new category of 
software.? The ADE shares some of the features of several existing 
categories), but no existing product, or combination of products, has 
thepotential of having such a profound, disruptive affect on the process of 
developing complex, enterprise-scale eBusiness software.? The ADE enables 
rapid deployment of feature-rich, secure, scaleable, open-platform, 
best-of-breed eBusiness software in &Internet Time8.? In addition, it 
provides for better and more cost effective life cycle management and 
integration of that software.? Note that the SEADE team has previously built 
the ADE three times as the framework for specific vertical applications.? 

?

While this is a new category of commercial software, it,s not a particularly 
new idea.? What we are doing has in fact always been the way the academic 
world has said complex software systems should be written.? The evolution 
from structured languages, to object orientation has been a continual effort 
to find a means to leverage the effort and resources used to deploy past 
applications for the deployment of the next application.? Most enterprise 
software shares between 60-90% of its core foundation and features with all 
other software.? We call these common horizontal components the &Common 
Horizontal Framework8,of a custom application.? The vertical components are 
the parts that make the software valuable enough to risk the resources to 
develop and deploy mission critical applications. 

?

SEADE Software,s core competency is the delivery of the horizontal components 
that make up the majority of all business applications.? We deliver this in a 
highly customizable, component-based, platform-independent, fully 
internationalized, pre-fabricated software application we call an ADE.? The 
ADE enables fast-tracked development of new integrated eBusiness applications 
and provides a common reference for legacy Enterprise application integration 
(many-to-many EAI).? We empower the Fortune 1000 to maximize their core 
competency by leveraging ours.

?

I,ve attached for your review our Executive Summary, Business Case Slideshow 
pitch, and Advisory Board bios.? Please let me know if you find our offer of 
interest.? Thank you for your consideration.

?

Best regards,
Scott
