Dear Mr. Barnes,
Thank you for arranging yesterday’s meeting. I trust it was time well spent for both Global Foods and Continental Computer. We believe Continental Computer can provide the data integration capabilities.

Your needs as we understand them
You need to integrate data from multiple distribution centers and companies that Global Foods recently acquired. You would like to replace the variety of hardware/operating systems with one that
• make data available to all users in all locations
• eliminates the large backlog of outstanding user requests
• keeps existing key applications
We can work with your IT department to transfer information from your multiple data centers to one internal cloud network. Robert McCarthy, our local consultant, will conduct a pilot demonstration to show you how efficient a cloud-based platform will be.
Suggested next steps–scheduling your demonstration
We would be delighted if you and Jack Lanham could attend a demonstration of our services on
1. our proposed time works for you both
2. you have any further questions.
Best regards,
Barbara Watson
