内容説明
It's already 1998 -- and the Year 2000 crisis is proving to be even worse than expected. From now on, every Y2K move you make had better be right. That's why you need The Year 2000 Software Crisis: The Continuing Challenge. In this all-new book, the authors of the world's #1 Y2K guide assess all the newest solutions, and deliver more in-depth Y2K expertise than ever before. Leading Y2K experts Ian Hayes and William Ulrich evaluate your latest options for sourcing (and outsourcing) Y2K work; new techniques and how they're working in the field; how to test Y2K compliance in an increasingly constrained environment; and much more. Learn how to prepare contingency plans and make urgent triage decisions; understand your legal liabilities; and much more. Whatever your role -- IT management, senior business executive or software engineer -- you can't afford to be without this up-to-the-minute Y2K "report from the field."
