Re: Y2K Testing Companies Compared

IVAN1, we should certainly revisit Taoman's post on 1/28 about the Y2K
testing companies. I would also add Sungard (SDS) to his list:
207.183.153.23

I suppose we could make a comparison between the disaster recovery based
vendors and the software testing vendors, although there definitely is
overlap. In that case, I would put CDO, SDS and SAA in the former
category, and CPWR, PLAT, and MERQ in the latter one.
