Geee.. If I was TRW, The US Mint, a `MAJOR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY', the County of LA, Otis Elevator etc. I would realize that the Year2k issue is everywhere, even the President took time to address this issue! Now I know our systems are fine, or will be in time, but the hoopla is so large how do I let all of my customers, business partners, stockholders etc. aware that I am on top of this issue?
I do some research and find a company like `JAVAy2k' (fictional company). And here is what they will do for me. I let them write up a proposal for say 10-30 million then enter into a preliminary agreement with them to audit my facilities. A press release goes out. I have now protected my self (for big money) against y2k issues.
<after the audit>
I pay $50,000 for the audit, I'm declared `clean'. Customers happy, Business partners happy, stockholders happy. Looks like many millions were spent on making sure I'm y2k compliant, for a very small actual cost.
Geee this kinda make me think of that company TAVA. I guess we will see what kinda earnings those `slow starting' contracts from last qtr actually add to income this qtr!
Just a thought. what do you think?
