Subject:  Communication Metrics
 

Dear Rod:


My name is Bob Gordon, and I work for Jim Lovo.




He has asked me to look at the Communication Metrics issue.  I have spoken to
Tom Keesling and others, and I have some questions for you.  Please let me know
when it would be convenient for you to talk, or you can call me at
202-761-8745.


 


Some of the questions I have are as follows:







    

        
  1.  What
       
       private companies
       are using communication metrics, and how long
       have they used it?
 

       
    
       
  2.  How long does it take to
       
       train
       someone to manage the system?
 

       
    
       
  3.  Assuming the program resides on a local server,
       
       how many people
       can keep records simultaneously?
 

       
    
       
       Who determines
       what hyperlinks are established?
 

       
    
       Can it be
       
       automated
       in any way?
 

       
    
       
  4.  What
       
       security
       measures are built into the program?  How is
       unauthorized access avoided?
 

       
    
       
  5.  Does anyone else offer a similar product?  If so, what are the
       
       advantages
       of communication metrics?


       




I'm sure our discussion will spark more questions.  I look forward to talking
to you.



Sincerely,






Bob Gordon
