I Join LD in welcoming AH to SI!
It sure is money well spent, LD.
I thought you might want to check out a little news about how some of the more senior integrators are profiting from not only the Y2K solution, but the opportunity to enlarge and improve their involvement with their customers, which leads to improved on-going earnings independent of the Y2K problem. It seems reasonable to presume that much of this effect is industry wide, and not just confined to operators like Systemhouse. There are a lot of large, smart, and conservative companies profiting from current trends in high tech just as we surmise the GPW will do. To disparage the effects of Y2K, and large corporations' growing reliance on contracting out their I/T services, particularly for integration and solution of problems like Y2K, would be to play King Canute and stand on the beach commanding the waves to recede. These, to me, are elemental forces to be taken advantage of by agile companies like GPW, and not foolishly resisted. In my view, Y2K is just the current problem, but contracting out of I/T is the trend, and GPW will benefit heartily from that far beyond the millenium. This is just background, but check out:
