Ooops...There's good news and then there's... biz.yahoo.com Y2K Experts Poll: Big Business Is Not Ready for the Millennium Date Change Today CIO Magazine, ISACA, & Dr. Ed Yardeni's Y2K Center Poll Reveals What Executives Don't Know About the Year 2000 Problem >>>Y2K Project Completion: The poll's findings include the good news that 1999 Y2K project completion is moving along well, with 72% reporting that are more than three-quarters complete. But, 92% of responding companies have not actually completed their Y2K work - and one in ten will not complete Y2K project work until well into the year 2,000. Furthermore, of those companies still working on completing their work, 33% are behind their schedule. Observes Gary Beach, Publisher CIO magazine, ''Keep in mind these are huge firms with lots of time and resources to focus on Y2K, I am concerned that 92% have not completed their work seven months out from the hard-wall deadline. The question is in what direction are they trending -- more behind or catching up? If a significant number of major companies are lagging, what does that say for small business? Nowhere have I seen data, until this poll, that quantifies the percent of large firms who have confessed they will not make the turn of the century deadline!''<<<
