Another interesting bit of the Red Chip conference presentation of JJ was his explicit mentioning of the database and also of the inventories made at their clients that could (will?) be used past 1/1/2000, 'configuration management' being mentioned as a purpose for the client. This makes sense to me; for many clients Y2k remediation forces them to make a complete inventory of many 'software objects' for the very first time in their history. It makes sense to continue to keep the inventory up-to-date; as this gives management an up-to-date view of their software related production facilities. As an example, this might be used for targetted purchasing purposes; other applications (e.g. planning further integration with the ERP systems at a site) come to mind. Bottom line is that at some client's site, the database/inventory/methodology might well play a role after remediation has been finished. An analogy are the configuration management tools of e.g. Compuware for the Mainframe environment; for shops with bad configuration management practices; after setting up these tools and finishing remediation, better IT (configuration management) practices (using these tools) result in less costs and more efficiency in running the IT department and maintaining applications.

'Remediation finished successfully by TAVA' That would be helpful PR ;-) John _______________________________ '... In some cases, companies will tout their Y2K-compliance edge over slower competitors. According to the Cap Gemini study, more than half of the companies surveyed plan to incorporate Y2K compliance into their marketing messages this year. Y2K compliance "will certainly be a competitive advantage for [our] suppliers, and companies that are open to confirming their compliance status will likely position themselves to gain new relationships," AAA's Taschner says. "Those that do [Y2K remediation] first and best will have a distinct operational advantage over everyone else," says Lila York, director of special projects at Southwest Stars Corp., a Year 2000 services firm.

The price of remediation sounds wonderful! Is that the amount of money TAVA gets for finding their problems? Or is that the money the fortune 500 companies will spend "fixing" their problems??? Please tell me that is the revenues TAVA will get! (gg) Runner PS What does everyone think of the Macintosh computer commercial shown in the 1st quarter of the super bowl. The evil computer from 20001 Space Odyessy was talking about what happened in the year 2000 when the whole world economy collapsed due to the Y-2k problem. It was very erie!!!
