Y2K SYSTEM FREEZES CHILL IT PLANS Y2K is causing two out of ten large companies to halt installations of new systems beginning in June, while many other companies plan to partially freeze IT spending. These freezes are affecting new purchases of ERP software and PC hardware, deployment of new equipment, and business for outside consultants. A Computerworld poll shows that 20 percent of companies surveyed expect to freeze all hardware, software, and services purchases during the second half of 1999. Of the 241 executives surveyed, 40 percent expected to reduce overall IT spending.
