Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 1998

Many companies have not yet realized the vast implications of the year 2000 (Y2K) problem. As the new millennium draws closer, some may be forced to convert the systems that are most valuable to the company and abandon others. CTR's new report offers effective strategies on how to prioritize business processes, implement a conversion budget, and take action immediately. The report also provides a valuable list of Y2K vendors and discusses the importance of validation and testing.
