>>There will not be enough time for many companies to properly test.<<

There will be plenty of opportunity to show slopy work performed by the large numbers of mediocre, careless, brainless people in the code patching business, a boring task requiring lot's of attention and careful work trying to understand [usually poor] code written by someone else. These developers will not only skip needed changes but also damage existing code. It will be a mess. TI officers in corporations are hiring outsides with the only purpose of blaming someone else for the whole mess. We will be in for a big surprise!

Steve,

Assuming that you are correct, which I believe you are, why aren't people jumping into SAA, CDO, and the like? The only explaination
is that companies are doing their testing onsite with the people
providers. I am concerned about the failure rate and the disaster recovery implications.

Thanks,

SAF
