JDN,

< I would like more comment on FLUOR deciding internally to not push Y2K work. What exactly does that mean? It could be very good. Could it mean that rather than take a high profile in the Y2K work that they will merely recommend TPRO to their customers who need it?? Surely there has to be a reason for the alliance in the first place?>

Corporate Politics. Image. Ego.

Read the 1st part of this link again. (Skip the intro paragraph.) Explains why Fluor wanted ... and needed the TPRO alliance. Couldn't get their database together .... TPRO was far further ahead. Time's running out. Considering the urgency of the situation, the fact that there is a definite deadline, the year 2000, Fluor figured it made sense to team up with TPRO. This also bears on potential competition. Time is a barrier to entry in this field. Also one guy said that Fluor was concerned about liability with respect to Y2K. And that's why they were interested in teaming with TPRO.

No wonder Owens came from Fluor to TPRO. Smart guy.
