We do not use a master server system, each Business Unit and sub functional unit has it's own system. This is due to a security arrangement made after a virus was introduced a few years ago that spread across the system. As a result the different groups, drilling, explorations, legal, operations, land, permitting, construction, acquisitions, marketing, financial, onshore, offshore … on & on … were separated for security. My guess is that it was mostly from knee-jerk paranoia. Maybe not the best way to manage things, but was the decision from people at a level much higher than me. A simple modification to a business units server system isn't going to cover the other units across the board. There is no longer a central server system. And remember, our trade group is just North America. We operate in over 22 countries.

Anyway, I'm hoping that the needs and requests from corporations like ours, especially in the energy business, are taken seriously and considered. We are not alone. We give a lot to Microsoft, and we're hoping our mass of licenses get some attention.

Thank you all for your comments. Nothing said here is ignored.
….. Off to dinner.
