MatriDigm Corporation Receives ITAA *2000 Certification
ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 1998--The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA)
today announced that MatriDigm Corporation of San Jose, California has received ITAA *2000 certification. ITAA *2000 is
the industry's century date change certification program. The program examines processes and methods used by companies to
perform their Year 2000 software conversions.
MatriDigm Corporation participated in a rigorous evaluation of its approach to date conversion, with extensive analysis in
eleven discrete process areas deemed necessary to a successful Year 2000 conversion. Certification indicates that MatriDigm
Corporation has the core capabilities needed to address the Year 2000 challenge. The company developed MatriDigm
Advanced Process 2000 (MAP2000SM), the Millennium Control System (MICOSTM) and MatriDigm COBOL Analysis
Product (MCAPTM) using certified processes and methods.
''From the start, our rigid design specifications required that MatriDigm deliver a solution that is complete,'' stated Jim Brady,
CEO of MatriDigm. ''Our customers have reported to us that our processes deliver high quality code, on schedule, with the
documentation and auditability they need to mitigate their Year 2000 liabilities. This ITAA certification provides additional
confirmation of MatriDigm's commitment to providing an accurate and complete Year 2000 solution.''
MAP2000 is a complete analysis, renovation and testing solution that begins at the customer site where MICOS - MatriDigm's
proprietary code preparation system - packages work units to be sent to the MatriDigm code renovation facility in San Jose.
During renovation, MAP2000 analyzes the code, identifies date-related fields using a rules-based automated process, modifies
the dates with a windowing date format, and performs extensive unit testing on modifications to the code. The renovated code
is returned to the MatriDigm Technology Associate or customer ready for acceptance testing.
