Subject: Common Administration

Dear Denis,

Thanks for information on the Port of San Francisco's Pier One project.

Your idea to specify Common Administration could help managers discover cost savings from good management. Architects and engineers can use this idea in preparing specifications. Of course design professionals need support from stakeholders to set requirements for adding business metrics to communication that supplement cost and schedule control. Web mail (like this letter) are an easy way to give approving authorities experience with the methodology, so they can make a reasoned decision. Participation by the National Science Foundation provides credbility that helps people try new ideas. Thanks for continuing to support Communication Metrics.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
