ConSyGen Completes Automated Year 2000 Conversion for Motorola
Benefits Program
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 7, 1997--ConSyGen Inc. (OTCBB:CSGI) announced today that it has completed the Year 2000 conversion pilot project for a Fortune 50 company (Motorola Inc.) that was previously announced on August 7, 1997.
The project involved the conversion of approximately 500,000 lines of code to be Year 2000 compliant. After receiving the complete set of source code in mid-September, ConSyGen completed the project, including the identification and correction of all dates, in less than two weeks. Ron Bishop, ConSyGen's president and CEO stated: ''Motorola's converted software has been rigorously tested internally and has been returned to Motorola for its own testing. Based on the results of this preliminary testing, ConSyGen believes that the converted code is now fully compliant for the Year 2000.''
Marge Davis, project manager of Benefits Administration Systems for Motorola, stated: ''ConSyGen's toolset gave us a detailed listing of missing source code that was instrumental in helping us to complete quickly our part of the project. After ConSyGen had received the complete set of source code, it was amazing how quickly they were able to convert approximately 500,000 lines of source code to be compliant for the Year 2000. We look forward to a straight-forward and trouble-free testing of the converted code.''
Bishop continued, ''The speed with which we completed this project again demonstrates the efficiency of our ConSyGen 2000 toolset. This project is one of several that we have completed for a variety of IBM mainframe environments and further demonstrates the range of capability which we have been able to build into the toolset. We have shown that, with our ConSyGen 2000 toolset, full automation of Year 2000 projects is both feasible and practical and that the technology is here and available over a wide range of hardware environments.''
ConSyGen Inc. is a Phoenix-based software company that provides conversion/correction services with its proprietary technologies. The company's ConSyGen 2000 software is a fully-automated toolset that automatically corrects dates in both source code and data to be compliant for the Year 2000 and beyond. The company's ConSyGen Conversion toolset can automatically convert software to run on a different hardware platform. For example, software running on older BULL, IBM, Unisys, etc. mainframes can automatically be converted to run on open system or client/server platforms (often called downsizing).
