Alydaar/Compuware/Myriad Solutions: This is not new news, but it is related to the press release Alydaar had recently about it's new business partner in Australia, Myriad Solutions. The following comes from the March 27, 1998 edition of the Australian Computer World. The link is rather long and ugly and didnt even fit on one line so i've pasted in the article below: Myriad combats Y2K with business agreement By Luisa Bustos Industry SYDNEY Local total solutions provider, Myriad Solutions (formerly a subsidiary of LBMS) has formed a three-way business agreement with US-based Alydaar Software and Compuware to provide end-to-end 2000 solutions. According to Javed Matin, managing director of Myriad, under the terms of the agreement, Alydaar will provide the solutions, method and implementation called the SmartCode process; Compuware will provide the tools to test the system and Myriad will be the "sales and product arm". Matin said: "We will be the interface between Alydaar and the client . .to sell them the service and provide a support service." Very few companies are ready for 2000 and in order to maintain a competitive edge in the market place, companies must solve the problem as quickly as possible, said Matin. "Y2K is a time bomb," he said. "You want 2000 to fire up with minimum problems . . .the key is - do it, do it right and do it on time." "[With the partnership] we see an opportunity for a local company to make a global impact and provide global solutions at a very competitive price," Matin said. The company will be targeting the banking and finance sector and government departments in Australia and New Zealand, areas that "might need a lot of help" with the millennium problem, Matin told ComputerWorld Today. ==================================================================== Actually the printed edition of the magazine contains a few more paragraphs then does the e-version so i've typed them myself: ===================================================================== Matin said his company will be steering clear of the Asia/Pacific region due to the economic crisis. According to Matin, Myriad with Alydaar and Compuware will be moving towards providing European Monetary Union (EMU) compliance when the millen-nium panic eases. "The burning issue is Y2K", said Matin. "Not that much has been done about EMU, but as soon as people sort out Y2K, {EMU}'s the next issue". Matin said there is a substantial Australian market, namely the banks, which will have to address the euro problem. "You have got to cater for global requirements, if you want to be a global player."
