UK SCADA firm I like this statement of a UK SCADA firm: '...has set up a specialist division that offers a full vulnerability analysis'. From: boward.com Found thru the Girod link site. John ----- 'Although most computerised control systems will function correctly when the millennium starts, there will be a significant number unable to handle the rollover of the date from 1999 to 2000. Some systems may just fail to work whilst others will exhibit a variety of problems from incorrect file names, data corruption to just generally incosistent operation. To meet the needs of end users, The SCADA Centre, one of the UK's leading software houses, has set up a specialist division that offers a full vulnerability analysis and consultancy service for the year 2000. We have even developed special tools and integration services to help you migrate your legacy systems safely to a variety of modern operating platforms.'
