Extractions: While many people are eagerly awaiting January 1st, 2000 to see if anything will actually crash, there needs to be an awareness that this is not only a one day problem. Since software and hardware that is involved in projections and demographic data we are surely going to need to be up to speed at least one year in advance. According to the Gartner Group, while 40% of the time and resources might be spent on analysis of the problem and modification of the situation, another 45% of the time is spent on testing, training, disaster recovery and documentation. This means that companies cannot START their fixes in the year 1999, they need to be on it by mid 1998 to have a good chance of minimizing the problems. We are less than 380 days away before this date arrives.

Extractions: Mainframe News In a nutshell, the Year 2000 Computer Problem is that during the 1960s,'70s and '80s, most programs were written using the date format MM/DD/YY. Further, the programs assume that the first two digits of any given year are "19." Computers running such programs require attention to be able to distinguish between centuries. Left untreated, come New Year's Day, 1 January 2000, computers all over the globe could be producing errors, horrifying users with application failures - and crashing. On the surface, this seems like a small problem. But finding the appropriate lines of code - particularly in programs for which the source may no longer be available! - makes looking for a needle in a haystack child's play by comparison. Finding, fixing and testing date-related processes in computer systems will require significant resources. Return to the Table of Contents

For many computer and software systems, the year 2000 will bring a host of problems related to software programs that record the year using only the last two digits. This faulty standard will cost the worldwide computer community billions of dollars in programming effort. The Year 2000 Information Center allows Internet users to get the latest facts and information on the Year 2000 computer crisis, and provides a forum for the discussion of possible solutions. Hosting a continually updated clock showing the number of years, days, hours, minutes and seconds remaining until the Year 2000, the Information Center also provides free access to information made available by vendors and service providers that offer consulting and solutions.

Extractions: July 20-21, 1998 A Groundbreaking Event Series Focused on Year 2000 Liability Implications. Corporations are spending close to $600 billion worldwide to furiously find, fix and test billions of lines of code affected by the Year 2000-date change. But do you think that on the first second of January 1, 2000 systems will be crash free? Think again. No matter how much companies are spending, the threat of systems not being able to function are staggering. The fact is, unless the process of debugging critical programs is not well along by now, it may be too late to fix. According to an article in Business Week , law firms are expecting billions of dollars in litigation. That's why now is a critical time for lawyers, corporate in-house counsel, executives and risk managers to gather the information they need to protect their company and customers and avoid potential lawsuits. Attend the Computer Liability Conference and take the first step in minimizing legal risk and maximizing recovery.

Harvard Seeks To Swat Year 2000 Computer Bug

http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/1998/05.07/HarvardSeekstoS.html

Extractions: SEARCH THE GAZETTE By Alvin Powell Contributing Writer The year 2000 is coming and Harvard's computer specialists are preparing to meet it. The preparation is needed because, along with the new millennium comes the "millennium bug," a worldwide glitch in computer software caused by programmers saving space by noting dates with just two digits. That means that computers, which take everything literally, will assume the year "00" is 1900. If untreated, this seemingly innocuous problem could cause trouble ranging from fax machines marking documents with the date Jan. 1, 1900, to wide-scale disruption of financial networks and power grids. Exactly how large the problem will be is subject to debate. Some doomsayers predict a wave of bankruptcies and a global recession. Others say it will be noticed hardly at all. Most agree, though, that it is a problem worth paying attention to and that early assessment and action can minimize the potential impact. Harvard has been working for more than a year to minimize any disruption. The University has surveyed its many schools and departments, quizzed vendors on their software's "Year 2000 compliance," contacted outside institutions with which it exchanges information electronically, and put a University-wide structure in place with the goal of gaining near-total compliance by January 1999.

http://www.worldbank.org/afr/findings/infobeng/infob47.htm

Extractions: Identifying Potential Impacts on Sub-Saharan Africa The Year 2000 (Y2K) computer bug could potentially affect digital control systems and computer hardware/software that rely on date-dependent calculations for their proper functioning. A considerable level of automation and computerization has taken place in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries in recent years. Although the level of automation may be lower compared with more technologically advanced countries, the relative reliance of SSA countries on these systems is generally higher. This is partly because a limited number of systems process the information required by most public agencies. Examples include treasury, customs, central bank, pension, and other similar public sector operations, many of which do not have alternative backups in case of system failures. Any major failures in these systems could potentially lead to economic and social hardships for affected countries, resulting in an undesirable impact on the country's development. Due to the complexity of both national and cross-border interdependencies among various sectors, the longer term effects of potential Y2K failures in certain critical operations on the national economy are often ignored. The Knowledge and Learning Center in the Africa Region of the World Bank has developed a potential risk exposure profile for SSA countries based on a set of indicators from various critical sectors. These indicators provide a better picture of the potential Y2K risk exposures, and the significance of certain operations for the economy. The salient features of the findings from these indicators are discussed below.
The Year 2000 Computer Crisis -- What To Do NOW?
The year 2000 computer Crisis What To Do NOW? By Warren S. ReidThe various independent surveys from SIM and Anderson Consulting
http://www.shk-dplc.com/cfo/articles/crisis.htm

Extractions: By Warren S. Reid The various independent surveys from SIM and Anderson Consulting Worldwide and Peter deJager keep telling us the same thing - that only 20-30% of all US companies have begun to inventory their systems and perform any risk assessment steps to address their Year 2000 problem. Worse, less than 10% have actually started fixing their code. While the rest of the world, and your company is catching up, there are things that you can - and must - do right NOW to help your company address the problem and withstand the inevitable onslaught of litigation that is allegedly making some attorneys salivate. The Economist in its cover story in its October 4th-10th, 1997 issue entitled "The Millennium-Bug, Muddle" quotes the estimated cost to the world's companies and governments of fixing the problem (including fixing the errors, lost productivity from those systems that fail, and the cost of liability lawsuits) at - take your choice: Gartner Group $600 billion; Technology Research Reports, a California market-research firm, $2 trillion ; and Boston's Software Productivity Research at $3.6 trillion. It's getting pretty ridiculous and over the top.

The Council recognizes that you and the Vice President are taking an active leadership role in addressing the year 2000 computer/software issue and its potential impact on both government and private sector operations. Our specific concern is that given the interlinked world economy, more emphasis needs to be given to this problem in various upcoming high level international governmental meetings. Specifically, we recommend that this issue be emphasized at the upcoming APEC meetings this month. It is recognized that the cost to fix all the year 2000 associated problems will be significant. Although we recognize that this issue must be dealt with in the context of the economic issues facing many APEC member nations, we recommend that all countries focus on priority areas such as the financial, transportation, telecommunications, utilities, and medical services sectors.
