Another interesting bit of the Red Chip conference presentation of JJ was his explicit mentioning of the database and also of the inventories made at their clients that could (will?) be used past 1/1/2000, 'configuration management' being mentioned as a purpose for the client.

This makes sense to me; for many clients Y2k remediation forces them to make a complete inventory of many 'software objects' for the very first time in their history. It makes sense to continue to keep the inventory up-to-date; as this gives management an up-to-date view of their software related production facilities. As an example, this might be used for targetted purchasing purposes; other applications (e.g. planning further integration with the ERP systems at a site) come to mind.

Bottom line is that at some client's site, the database/inventory/methodology might well play a role after remediation has been finished.

An analogy are the configuration management tools of e.g. Compuware for the Mainframe environment; for shops with bad configuration management practices; after setting up these tools and finishing remediation, better IT (configuration management) practices (using these tools) result in less costs and more efficiency in running the IT department and maintaining applications.
