RE: Change of Venue - My New Position

Jeff! I know this is old news and you've obviously had time to settle in
among your new digs, (hah, good pun :) but I just wanted to send my note
of congratulations! This sounds like a very exciting position - I'm
actually a little envious. One of the outside lit support consultants
that we use fairly extensively here at my firm worked in a similar
position with the BP (British Petroleum) legal group. She really knows
her stuff and all of her experience was from the corporate counsel days.
It's almost like you have a single practice group to work with, minus
all the high-falutin' politics that you have screw around with at a law
firm! As I said, I'm envious.
 
Anyway, I know it's been a while since you sent this out, but man,
congrats again! I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences
next time we can get together.

	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
