Y2K certification will become as, if not more, important than compliance engineering. Consider British Telecom, which -- according to my sources -- will soon refuse connections to non-Y2K-compliant telcom companies. Or banks like Citibank, which will refuse transfers from institutions that have not demonstrated compliance. Companies will treat their interactions with other computer systems the way they used to treat disks that might contain viruses. Except here, instead of scanning a disk for dangerous code, they need to search through an entire computer system. The underwriting of compliance, or the guarantee of non-compliance remediation through insurance coverage, will be standard protocol.
