CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 1999--

Giga Information Group (NASDAQ:GIGX) today announced a new conference to help organizations maximize the time they have left to complete their Year 2000 technology conversion programs.

According to Ann Coffou, vice president, Year 2000 IT Practice, Giga Information Group, "Organizations need to accelerate the conversion of their mission-critical applications as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The conference will include "best practices" information and analysis in four half-day sessions. The sessions will cover testing, contingency planning, vendor management and end-user compliance. Giga Year 2000 specialists will take a "how they did it" approach to each topic, reviewing how several organizations have successfully implemented programs and how others can leverage these best practices. These Giga Information Group expert advisors include:
Ann Coffou, Vice President, Year 2000 IT Practice Kate Kaiser, Senior Advisor, Year 2000 IT Practice Phil Murphy, Senior Advisor, Year 2000 IT Practice Alistair Stewart, Senior Advisor, Year 2000 IT Practice
