Y2K-SME Helping the Small Business Tackle Year 2000

jks.co.uk

Very good site about Help for Small and Medium sized Enterprises.

"The biggest danger with SMEs is that most of them will do nothing."

'This is a serious problem and the Government should set a good example:

- Postpone the Euro. Formulate and execute a consistent policy on the Euro and communicate the impact to the SME community.

- Postpone other legislation requiring large IT resources

- Openly publicise the Government Year 2000 programmes

- Publish estimates of the real cost to the country

-Show by words and actions that Year 2000 has sponsorship at the highest level. Senior ministers should give prominence to Year 2000 issues in their speeches.

- Change priorities and reallocate resources. Do not treat this as "business as usual". Each government department should ensure its client base is tackling Year 2000 with due urgency.'
