The new economy has created great business opportunities as well as great turmoil.

Not since the


Industrial Revolution have the stakes of dealing with change been so high. Most traditional
organizations have accepted, in theory at least, that they must make major changes. Even large
new companies recognize that they need to manage the changes associated with rapid

From: Ujjwal Ahmed, Optimum Software Company
Subject: Yesterday’s meeting
Dear Katharine,
Thank you for taking the time to get together with us yesterday. Everyone on our team felt that it was a productive
meeting. We have a better understanding of your project’s needs now, and we’ve started looking at ways to adapt our
software to meet your requirements.
While the basic function of the software is well suited to the project overall, as discussed, we will explore ways to
adapt it to the needs of the different departments at Advantage that will be using it. This will incur some additional
cost, as we indicated—we’ll provide details about that at our next meeting, once our engineers have assessed the
changes that will need to be made.
I’ve asked Peter Bodell to prepare a document for you that indicates when the Training and Consulting Department
could start providing services to you. He’ll send this information to you directly—since you’ve worked with him in the
past, it seems the most efficient way to go.
As agreed, let’s set up a meeting for the week of November 26 by which time our engineers will be able to outline their
approaches to your departmental needs, and we’ll have the information we need to put together a contract.
In the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Regards,
Ujjwal
