Reseña del editor

This report couldn't be more timely -- because the countdown is on! Unless a solution is found to the century date change dilemma ("Y2K" to those fluent in computer lingo), on January 1 of the year 2000, computer systems all over the world might fail -- bringing catastrophe and ruin to many businesses.

So, while IT experts scurry to prevent it, this book shows how, with careful planning and preparation, organizations can minimize the damage and avoid disaster. Using the information it presents (including a detailed case study of how The Prudential is handling the problem), readers will be able to:
-- organize a team to deal with the year 2000 problem
-- conduct triage to decide which systems are vital
-- predict how much it will cost to fix the problem (with tips for keeping it as low as possible)
-- survive (and even benefit from) the chaos, and more.
