Hayes, William M. Ulrich Anyone got air tickets for January first? Are you ready for it? The Year 2000 crisis has spread from the computer room to the boardroom. Danger is everywhere from legal risks to failing suppliers. That's why you need The Year 2000 Software Crisis: The Continuing Challenge. This all-new book by the authors of the world's #1 Year 2000 problem-solving guide presents all the latest solutions, delivering more in-depth Year 2000 experience than ever before. Ian Hayes and William Ulrich go beyond the IT organization to show you how to make the increasingly tough business decisions that go with Year 2000 responsibility: * Understand the legal implications of your decisions. * Make "triage" choices that protect critical assets when not everything can be fixed in time. * Assess Year 2000 readiness throughout your supply chain and address problems with business partners. * Prepare contingency plans that manage and mitigate the risks of Year 2000 failure. This book discusses your best options for sourcing (and outsourcing) Year 2000 work, and present an in-depth look at century-date certification testing -- which differs in critical ways from standard software testing. They address the embedded systems located throughout your buildings and factories. Whatever your role -- IT management, senior business executive, or Year 2000 project team member -- you can't afford to be without this up-to-the-minute Year 2000 "report from the field."
