A decision to send about 700 jobs from Williams Companies to IBM Corporation is on hold. A memo to employees says top Williams executives studying the outsourcing proposal discovered that more issues need to be resolved.

A Williams spokesman says the Tulsa based company could decide whether to move information technology, finance and accounting and human resources work to IBM anytime.

And most of the 700 jobs outsourced would be from Tulsa, where Williams employs more than 1,400 people.
