'Unilever has estimated that up to a fifth of its smaller suppliers may not meet the compliance requirement in time' Karl, Right, that is my take of the Wonderware/TAVA connection ;-) Now for something different: political.co.uk ' Ian Taylor MP 2/4/1998 Release Date: 4th February 1998 `THIS COULD BE THE YEAR OF PANIC' Financial Times - Information Technology Supplement' But why should directors panic? For a start, is your company secure in its position in the supply chain? Some major enterprises are setting dates later this year beyond which they will terminate contracts with companies unable to guarantee satisfactorily that their systems comply with Y2K compliance standards. Some of these big corporations are reluctant to provide hands-on assistance to smaller suppliers because of legal liability risks. Unilever has estimated that up to a fifth of its smaller suppliers may not meet the compliance requirement in time and are therefore likely to lose their business with the group. It is worth recalling that Midland Bank estimates that one-in-five companies may not survive the bug, so Unilever's situation is likely to be echoed in other sectors.'
