How TME's Statement of Work (SOW) Differed From the SOWs for White Owned Companies
Lockheed’s requirements for TME’s development of Computer Based Training products were much more demanding than Lockheed’s requirements for white owned companies in the following ways:
Lockheed’s requirements for TME’s development of Computer Based Training products were much more demanding than Lockheed’s requirements for white owned companies in the following ways:
- The white owned companies were only required to produce tutorials that ran in either DOS or Mac, but TME was required to produce tutorials that would function on POSIX, DOS, and Mac platforms.
- The white owned companies were given pertinent information about Staffware 2.0 for business process management. TME was not provided that information.
- Lockheed demanded TME provide tutorials that would run not just for Mac and PC but also GUI/CUI for Mac, PC, and POSIX; the white owned companies were not required to provide GUI/CUI functions.
Lockheed issued this bogus, more stringent, SOW to TME a month later than it had issued the simplified SOW to the white owned companies.
TME discovered Lockheed’s racist ruse because one of Lockheed employees, Claire Donovan, admitted that she sent TME the more simplified “wrong version of the SOW” for white owned companies. The recording below was left on Clovice Lewis' answering machine.

"Hi Clovice, this is Claire at LISC. I'm calling regarding the wrong quote that I sent to you on the 27 of March for you to quote ... it was actually a revised Statement of Work. I need to touch base 'cause made some errors when I sent out the ROMs to all three of the people that I sent them out to. And I just want to make sure that you're not quoting off the wrong letter. Dave Etter may have given you a copy of his Statement of Work; in that case, you're probably quoting off the right one. Anyways, I need to clear this up. I'm sorry if it's caused any inconvenience. Give me a call back. I'm on (408) 987-4683. Thanks Clovice. Bye bye." |
