Re-post of release on license agreement with PKS
I found this slightly different version on the Informission site. Main differences
are in the details on PKS' business. Note additional conversion factories
(Mexico City and Omaha) as well as major line of business in migrating legacy systems
to client/server and Internet platforms.
Montreal, June 9, 1998
Informission Group Inc., (IFN) a public information
technology company providing innovative and
cost-effective solutions for the conversion,
development and migration of information systems,
announced today that it has licensed its Year 2000
software solution to PKS Systems Integration Inc LLC of
Phoenix, (Arizona).
Following an extensive evaluation process, PKS Systems
Integration selected Informission Group Inc.'s
RECYC2000TM and RECYC2000-EXPLORERTM and will for
implementation the Year 2000 solution in conversion
software engineering centers factories around the
world, including factories centers in Limerick,
Ireland, Bangalore, India, Mexico City, Mexico,
Omaha, Nebraska and Phoenix, Arizona.
By combining Informission Group Inc's tools with PKS'
Suite 2000 methodology and software engineering
centers, customers will receive a broad range of
support on different environments requiring source code
conversion.
RECYC2000TM, which is among the leading solutions
addressing the Year 2000 conversion problem, analyzes
and automatically converts the client's source code.
RECYC2000-EXPLORERTM is a re-engineering tool used in
conjunction with RECYC2000TM. By allowing the user to
determine exactly which part of the application needs
testing, RECYC2000-EXPLORERTM significantly reduces
costs and time requirements.
" This agreement with PKS sets the basis for a
long-term collaboration with one of the leaders in
Information Technology, " stated Jacques Topping, CEO
and President of Informission Group Inc. " It will
certainly strengthen our marketing strategy of
addressing the international Year 2000 market. "
" It will also provide us with inroads regardings Euro
and Intranet conversion, not to mention the migration
to more powerful operating platforms and more advanced
database formats."
The Year 2000 conversion problem is the inability of
most software programs and computer systems to properly
interpret dates once the millennium changes. Most
software programs and computer systems were encoded
with two-digit date fields instead of four-digit date
fields to save memory space. When the Year 2000 rolls
around, however, these systems will misinterpret the
" 00 " date field as " 1900 ".
