Tato, yes, ALYD has ITAA certification:itaa.org I think the list is notable for which companies are not on the list, rather than those that are. But just because you are on the list doesn't mean your Y2K solution does anything more than meet some base criteria. From the ITAA web site: ========== The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) is the leading trade association of this nation's information technology industry.
