Gartner testimony for the US Senate This is the Garnter testimony (already posted by Wade Ramey). It is interesting to see where countries are standing regarding Y2k readiness. This is expressed in the COMPARE scale introduced by Garnter. US, Canada, UK, Australia leading; other countries trailing... See figure in this article! Also, there is a sectorwise readyness figure. Some lagging sectors are: Government, construction, engineering, healtcare, heavy equipment manufacturing. This is to some extend coupled to the predominance of embedded systems (i.e. in these sectors; and relative to IT-systems) to be remediated IMO (except for government). Utilities not doing too well either. All in all, this is a nice illustration of the fact that embedded y2k is lagging in attention and actual remediation (and $$$$) compared to IT remediation. Just my 2 cents. John house.gov

Good to see TAVA getting people trained to the GM/AIAG standards, but you missed half the story! The other interesting info from this web site is the OTHER companies who have people certified to do assessments. Notably, some of the big boys were in attendance (EDS, Deloitte/Touche, Fluor Daniel, and Raytheon) as were a number of smaller companies, ALL OF WHICH who are, in the Y2K space, direct competitors to TAVA. Hopefully this will help correct the naive thinking of many that there weren't any competitors for TAVA in the plant floor space... Also interesting, I called one of the small companies, Future Systems (who had quite a few people trained in the same program), and their voice mail stated that "there's no one here - we're all out doing Y2K assessments!!!!"...too funny...maybe a TAVA acquisition target?
