0410 -
0411 -
041101 - Did not set up a meeting to view his product.  He feels the system he
041102 - has is not that sophisticated.  It is an amalgam of wordprocessing
041103 - and spreadsheet stuff.  His letter indicated there was some scheduling
041104 - capability included.
041105 -
041106 -  ..
041107 - He is not using Hypercard.  He said he investigated the product and

050402 - Follow up ref SDS 1 QY6F.
050403 -
050404 - Called Larry Duggan 421 2980.  He is out.  Left message with secretary
050405 - for him to call me, to follow up work on 890901. ref SDS 1 QY6F

0507 - 1038 Larry called back
0508 -
050801 - Management level where most applicable
050802 -
050803 - Asked Larry if he sees high level managers using SDS, or would he
050804 - expect only support staff would use it?
050805 -
050806 - Larry feels this is not something he would likely use at this stage
050807 - in his career, but S&W project staff use various systems.

0510 - Expedition
0511 -
051101 - Larry said S&W is using something like WMA on a project in Oakland.
051102 - The program is called Expedition by Primavera
051103 -
051104 - They have two PC's one for the secretary to do wordprocessing, and
051105 - another for the Superintendent.  They are thinking of getting another
051106 - PC so the Project Engineer and Superintendent can use the system at
051107 - the same time.  This requires networking which Expedition cannot do
051108 - yet.  Larry said the president of Primavera visited S&W recently and
051109 - indicated they are developing LAN capability for Expedition.
051110 -
051111 - Larry said they are using Expedition to track RFI's, correspondence
051112 - and change orders.
051113 -
051114 -    I wonder if this is in a Log envirionment, or if you can do the
051115 -    stuff like what is available in SDS?
051116 - ..
051117 - I asked if they are using Expedition because it is compatible
051118 - with Primavera scheduling software?  Larry said they are using a
051119 - different product for this, that permits drafting a network on the
051120 - screen, then converting it to a schedule.
051121 -
051122 - Larry suggested I go by and visit with the Superintendent to see what
051123 - they are doing.

051133 - ..
051134 - I'll call him in the morning on meeting to get a demonstration.
051135 - If Saturday doesn't work, we can do it on Sunday.
051136 -
