US Navy Selects CACI and IAI for Year 2000 Compliance
at Naval Ordnance Center
UNICAST/2000(TM) to Provide Highly Automated Conversion of 1.2 M
Lines of Code
FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- CACI International Inc. (Nasdaq: CACI - news) and
Information Analysis Incorporated (Nasdaq: IAIC - news) today announced a statement of work on an
existing contract by the US Navy, to provide Year 2000 remediation to the Naval Ordnance Center's
(NOC) CAIMS (Conventional Ammunition Integrated Management System) at Mechanicsburg, Pa. CACI,
the prime contractor, and IAI will convert 1.2 million lines of code at IAI's Year 2000 conversion factory
in Fairfax, Va.
''IAI's automated UNICAST/2000 product and conversion factory provided us with quick turn-around,
good price, and CA-IDMS expertise,'' said Jim Davis, CAIMS department manager, NOC's Inventory
Management and Systems Division. ''IAI's factory was a better alternative to us than dedicating scarce,
in-house resources to this project. This gives my people more time to help our customers with ongoing
support issues.'' NOC uses CAIMS to manage the distribution of ammunition to naval units throughout
the world. The CAIMS application is written in CA-ADS and CA-IDMS COBOL code.
CACI is providing end-to-end project management for the CAIMS effort. The company's Year 2000
experts also will help write the remediation plan and provide support for compliance testing of the
converted system. An alliance between Computer Associates (CA), CACI and IAI (announced 9/22/97),
combines CA's Discovery 2000 and CACI's leading methodology and service offerings, with IAI's
unique date remediation and software conversion resources, to provide a comprehensive, integrated Year
2000 solution.
''The level of accuracy and automation demonstrated by UNICAST/2000 for CA- ADS was critical to the
Navy's decision to proceed with the CACI/IAI team on this vital project,'' said Stan Reese, IAI's vice
president for Year 2000 services. ''For this endeavor, the Navy has undertaken the appropriate measures
to accelerate their Year 2000 compliance, preventing an adverse impact on readiness and accelerating the
testing process. UNICAST/2000 automated software has the ability to remediate over 95% of their code
automatically with little manual intervention.''
CA and IAI have a worldwide agreement to develop, market and support automated date remediation
products for the widely-implemented 4GL and information retrieval products, CA-ADS, CA-IDMS
COBOL, CA-Easytrieve and CA- Ideal.
''The federal and commercial CA-ADS and IDMS COBOL user community represents a substantial
customer base for CACI and IAI, and we are very pleased to be able to offer them a comprehensive and
cost effective solution to meet their Year 2000 challenge,'' said Michael Guido, CACI's senior vice
president in charge of Year 2000 business.
''The Computer Associates/CACI/Information Analysis partnership clearly demonstrates CA's
responsiveness to the escalating needs and concerns of our governmental and commercial clients regarding
Year 2000 compliance issues,'' commented Mark Stabler, CA vice president and Year 2000 Business Unit
Executive.
