Major glitches can occur, causing higher than budgeted costs and slippage in meeting target dates. - A large number of second-tier companies still believe they will be rescued by their software providers or by some other magical fix. - These same companies may be suppliers, distributors, or customers of Year 200 ready companies, but their interactive electronic systems will not work. The results could be chaotic. - A number of government agencies are failing the readiness test. - The global picture is not encouraging. Many of our trading partners will not be Year 2000 ready. - The first significant law suits are now being filed,, Wall Street can easily become embroiled in stockholder actions. - Embedded systems can be a time bomb shutting down major systems affecting health, safety, and security. - MIS time and resources are being diverted to Year 2000 projects, cannibalizing other developmental work and potentially causing companies to lose a competitive edge. No investor or securities analyst can ignore these issues because they will affect the re-allocation of financial resources to Year 2000 ready companies and away from the non-ready. "Ready-or-Not" will be a significant basis for future investment decisions. =================================================================== YEAR 2000 MILLENNIUM BUG INVESTMENT CONFERENCE NYC April 27-28, Le Parker Meridien ... 1-800-931-6722 ($1495) ===================================================================
