A Program For The Year 2000 Problem

Abstract

This paper addresses the Year 2000 (Y2K) problem and details a program for a firm designed to eliminate or reduce the potential effects. The mission of any firms Y2K complainant program should be to take the necessary measures to ensure that proper topics are addressed. A company should have a comprehensive (global if necessary) Y2K Program in place and be committed as a company to see its success. Management needs to recognize the significant challenge represented by the Y2K problem and anticipate the need of an all out effort by all employees to ensure success. Employee involvement can range from those actually writing corrective code, to conducting and facilitating the testing procedures, to those who interface with customers to address and answer questions and concerns.
