Y2k_fan, it is important to distinguish between the severity of the problem and the market opportunity for TAVA. IMO, selling "how to" manuals is not a very large market. Other companies have tried this approach (for other segments of Y2K) with poor success.

You write: "Unless TAVA could not even identify the problem ...". In fact, TAVA does NOT have a tool to identify date problems in embedded systems. They offer a cookbook approach to locating problems and the cookbook is available on CD_ROM. How difficult is it to figure out how to test equipment for Y2K? Not very hard!

As far as outsourcing ... consulting is a low margin business and TAVA is talking about hiring 150 more engineers, if all goes well. This probably translates to about $15 Million in business, with low margins ... a nice addition, but not much compared to their market cap.
Regards, Bill
