>> b) TAVA does not do remediation as defined by other Y2K companies<< What other companies "remediate" Embedded Controlled Systems?........ Other than the OEM - No one. The companies you are referring to are IT toolset and service providers ("defined by other Y2K companies). I think it is imperative to separate TAVA's factory based Y2K application from those sitting at a comfortable desk in the front office. Embedded Controllers do not lend themselves to the same "remediation" process as a Cobol based program (for example). There is no "silver bullet". Its a painstaking process to be sure, if it can be done at all. Time is a luxury no one has (those who are serious about addressing Y2K problems). TAVA would rather replace, or have the vendor replace, the suspected system, rather than have an experienced programmer (assembly language) analyze source code (assuming its available) and re-program another chip; regressively and operationally test the entire system. Its not practical. Their SI business will benefit from any, (lets call it renovation rather than remediation), system replacement. TAVA is focused only on mission critical systems. This is made quite clear to their clients right up front. The rest can be addressed post Y2K.
