What are we doing up at this hour? You will admit, won't you, that the wording of the release contains more than that for the typical pilot project? ---------- Topro, Inc., d.b.a. TAVA Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq: TPRO - news) a leading provider of automation and information technology solutions to industry, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Bristol-Meyers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY - news) to provide Year 2000 tools and compliance support for all Non-Information Technology systems at approximately 125 sites worldwide The initial stage of services is a pilot plant project at the Bristol- Meyers Squibb multi-building facility in New Brunswick, NJ. The pilot plant project has begun and is scheduled for completion by February of 1998. The intent of Bristol-Meyers Squibb is to roll-out the worldwide program, covering all sites, shortly thereafter. The worldwide roll-out is already in the planning stage. James Ham, vice-president, Information Management at Bristol-Meyers Squibb stated, ''We believe we are a leader in addressing year 2000 compliance throughout our organization. Our relationship with TAVA is an important step in addressing our Non-Information Technology systems around the world.'' ------------ Incidentally, at a multi-plant organization like BMY, doesn't it make sense to perform an initial service, a pilot in other words, at one plant, and then proceed with the others--rather than just plunging into all of them at once? Wade PS: I apologize if a lot of this is already water under the bridge. M. Winn had just appeared on the board as I was moving out to CA from MI and I missed a couple of weeks.
