Brunswick Divisions
Igloo, Zebco and American Camper Run COBOL Code Through MAP2000
Factory
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- MatriDigm Corporation, a leading
provider of Year 2000 solutions, today announced that its joint efforts with
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) (NYSE: AFA) and The Harbour Group in
assessing and remediating COBOL code for three divisions of Brunswick
Corporation's (NYSE: BC) Outdoor Recreation Group (BORG) have proven
successful.
According to Rex Shelton, director of Logistics at BORG, "The Y2K issue is of
enormous concern, and the time to address necessary business requirements is
getting short. It's critical to partner with a team that has both the consulting
expertise and the automated tools to get the job done, on time and on budget.
"The ACS/Harbour/MatriDigm combination had exactly that," Shelton continued.
"ACS and The Harbour Group demonstrated an impressive knowledge of our
environment, and a real commitment to putting the remediation efforts together
in a way that allowed us to meet compliance requirements within our schedule.
MatriDigm, for its part, returned the remediated code on the target date and, after
initial inspection, we've not found a single error in that code. Needless to say, I'm
very satisfied with the job."
Gary Williams, president and CEO of The Harbour Group added, "MAP2000 is
simply a phenomenal tool for renovating COBOL code. Its ability to test at the
individual line of code level is extremely valuable, substantially reducing the time
and cost of post-renovation testing. In our ongoing efforts to offer customers like
BORG cost-effective and timely remediation solutions, we're seeing MatriDigm's
commitment to continuous improvement in what already many believe is, by far,
the best factory process around for remediating COBOL code."
Richard W. Ormond, president, CEO and chairman of MatriDigm, said, "As a Year
2000 solutions provider, we depend on partners like The Harbour Group to help us
provide customers with what our partners say is the most highly automated and
accurate COBOL code renovation solution available in the market today. Our
solutions are known for being rapid and cost-effective, and with little time left
before the Year 2000, these are increasingly critical factors in the success of any
Y2K project. By working closely with The Harbour Group, we were able to offer
Brunswick Outdoor Recreation Group just what they required: a fast and accurate
route to Year 2000 compliance."
