The Issues
The seriousness of the potential impact on organisations of the `Year 2000 problem' is finally being recognised. The cost of addressing the problem within many sites has been assessed and the stories of the budgets required are frightening. Software houses and consultancies are proposing man-time based solutions, a range of software tools vendors have enhanced or rebadged products as Year 2000 solutions and a number of approaches and methods have evolved.
This is a revised version of our 1996 report, broadening and updating our assessment of the solutions offered by the major legacy vendors, conversion houses, consultancies and tool vendors.
The Report
For organisations about to set-up their Year 2000 project, this report will be an invaluablr guide to the methods, tools and resource issues that need to be addressed when building up a total Year 2000 solution.
The report assesses the pros and cons of the outsourcing, do-it-yourself and partnership approaches to project resourcing and looks at the alliances being formed between tools and man-time providers promoting joint solutions. Over 30 of the leading software based Year 2000 solutions are reviewed and positioned in the market place.
