Change of Venue - My New Position

Dear Colleagues:

I'm very happy to announce that I've recently joined Caterpillar Inc.'s Legal
Services Division as their Legal IT Manager. This is a newly created,
senior-ranking IT position for their corporate counsel division.
Caterpillar(aka Cat) <http://www.cat.com> is a Fortune 100 company with 2003
annual revenue of $22.7 billion.

More to the point, Caterpillar has 130 talented in-house attorneys globally,
which means they face many of the same challenges and needs as large
international law firms, as well as those unique to corporate counsel. As
such,I've moved to their world headquarters in Peoria, Illinois, to help guide
their legal division's technology endeavors. These will include short- and
long-term strategic planning, needs and scope assessment, supervising the legal
IT staff, product selection, training, knowledge management, collaboration
between corporate and outside counsel, coordinating with their global IT
department, process and workflow redesign, and implementing new technological
solutions.

I'm very excited to join and help guide their legal team's technology
development.  As always, I welcome your support and advice and look forward to
keeping in touch as I move into this new endeavor.

Best regards,

Jeff
