UNILEVER Costs Soar - Particularly because of Embedded Software
===================================================================
- Tripled original Y2K remediation estimate
- Set October '98 target date to ensure operations are 2000-compliant

EXCERPTS
Anderson (Unilever Technology Director) said the costs of tackling the bug were soaring because of the scale of the problem ..... particularly concerning so-called "embedded" chips - microchips installed deep in manufacturing equipment and computer systems whose software has to be checked line by line and, if necessary, rewritten.

Anderson said: "The challenge isn't because it is intellectually difficult, but because there are just billions of things to be done. It's the sheer scale of the task and the relatively small number of people in the world qualified to do the work."
