Dear Threaders
AGISS AND CCD ONLINE PRESENT FREE TRIAL OFFER FOR YEAR 2000 REMEDIATION AND VALIDATION SERVICES
Program takes world-class AGISS, CCD competence to new customers,
-----------------------------------------------------------------new markets
-----------AGISS Corporation, and its AGISS Software Corporation
subsidiaries (see below), announced today that for a limited
time, FREE introductory Year 2000 remediation and validation
services will be offered to qualifying customers in select geographic markets.
This special program is offered with the assistance of CCD
Online Systems Canada Co., one of AGISS's global alliance
partners. For qualifying customers, AGISS and CCD will
remediate (analyze and convert) up to 50,000 lines of software
code or validate (inspect and verify) up to 100,000 lines of
remediated code, using state-of-the-art automated tools, all at
no cost to the customer. Thus, this offer is of benefit both to
those who still have software to convert for the Year 2000 and
for those who have converted all their systems but seek
assurance that no date conversions were missed.
Seeks to inspire more organizations to be better prepared,
-----------------------------------------------------------
sooner, for the new millennium... ---------------------------------
"With less than 12 months remaining before the century change,
time is an extremely critical factor," advises AGISS CEO Robert
Sowah. "Speed, accuracy and safety are now especially
important. We're completely confident in our team and its
ability to quickly and accurately help business and government
prepare their I.T. systems for the new millennium. But these
organizations need to choose their Year 2000 remediation
partners carefully. They need to get the work done right, and
safely, the first time. This free program will allow more
organizations to experience first-hand what AGISS can do for
them, particularly, in this case, with the help of CCD Online,
a valued AGISS partner."
Steve Hirschbach, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for CCD
Online Systems Canada Co., explains: "We're enthusiastic to
help AGISS customers prepare for the new millennium. Perhaps
this offer will help inspire those who have been slow to get
started with Year 2000 remediation."
For those who have already converted their systems, Mr. Sowah
cautions that "a lot of companies are lulled into thinking
everything is okay after they've had their Year 2000
renovations done. But we're actually finding problems in
converted code. That's why the free validation services in this
special offer are so important. Especially with
mission-critical systems, validation provides extra assurance,
reducing the risk of problems next January. This goes
hand-in-hand with Business Continuity and Contingency Assurance
(BC&CA), an extended form of contingency planning, which is
also an AGISS speciality."
Which organizations qualify for this remediation and validation
-------------------------------------------------------------offer?------
The offer is for a limited time, and is subject to the
availability of required professional staff. And there are
qualifying criteria. Interested companies, institutions and
government organizations are invited to contact AGISS toll free
at 888-230-7981, or by E-mail: destination2000@agiss.com.
Benefits for everyone! ----------------------
The benefits for qualifying customers are obvious. They get
some valuable free conversion or validation services, and the
opportunity to become more familiar with AGISS skills,
expertise, services and tools. Typically, organizations have
many hundreds of thousands of lines of code to be converted for
the new millennium, plus conversions for the new Euro-dollar
and electronic commerce. AGISS and CCD excel at all these
conversions. Such an introduction to the AGISS team can yield
powerful future technical, productivity and business advantages
for the customer, and significant follow-on business for AGISS
and its team-mates.Who is CCD ? ----------
