As someone who's directly involved in Y2K I can say that the issue is not hype or scam but a real issue basically because of the immensity of it. Searching for date routines is no big deal but managing it is another thing. I am seeing first hand the mismanagement of this undertaking. With my company scouring the world for able bodies even when we find them they sit for weeks until a more senior person has time to go over the specs. IMHO, with all these Y2K companies my concern when it comes to investment purposes is that no CIO wants to be the one to fail and as long as he has the budget he will go the proven companies (CA ,Arthur Anderson etc.) He then can go back to the Board of Dir. with a nice spreadsheet and show a very professional looking task list from the best. Inherently these large projects never go well anyway and with top mgmt looking so closely why would the CIO take a chance with Company ABC with their tool instead of CA with their tool inferior as it might be. Remember Visual Basic or Delphi by Borland. With this in mind any thoughts about which are the best of the best.
