I had a very interesting conversation with someone at Infoliant this morning. I'm checking out their service for one of my clients. Found them when someone posted a reference here to their quarterly Delta Report. (see www.infoliant.com)

Infoliant aggregates all of the Y2K vendor compliance statements into a single database. They then put it all into a consistent format, which is much easier to understand and concentrates on telling people whether they have to Do Anything Or Not! (hint, hint Microsoft). Looks pretty darn useful to me. You can even create a portfolio of your company's products and have an email notification daily if anyone changes or updates Y2K status.

Infoliant is on the front lines of vendor compliance for the technology companies serving corporate America. And their quarterly reports are showing that the number of "whoops, we forgot something" recategorizing are going up and up.

But no one seems to care. I still find the quiet disconcerting. The Microsoft Y2K presentation at Comdex was held in a room with 250 chairs and there were (maybe) 30 people. Given the facts (products are being classified down or marked as non-compliant), why is everyone so silent. Heck, if it were only Microsoft in a mess, that would be significant to every company running PCs. But it is a lot more than just Microsoft.

I don't get it. Calm before the storm? Or are we going to wait until next February before we believe that unaddressed Y2K problems will really affect corporate profits, our economy......
