Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Year 2000 problem (The Millennium Bug) is now acknowledged to be a universal computing emergency, but few organizations fully understand what that means. Despite the vast sums of money that will go into a remedy, efforts are still largely confined to the corporate back office. This revised text updates the first edition by taking the Y2K problem out of IT and making it the focus of an end-to-end corporate solution. It is a manual for end-to-end business solutions and contingency planning and authoritative because Peter De Jager is the original prophet of the Year 2000 crisis and its most visible spokesman. His book aims to teach readers how to do contingency planning for the inevitable computer failures and business challenges they will face in the year 2000. New chapters include: how to assess your PC-based exposure (addressing the BIOS problem); how to diagnose and cure (or isolate) embedded systems; legal aspects and corporate liabilities; a report on the state of the banks; government activities and regulator environment world-wide; triage, contingency planning, and recovery planning; and extended case study demonstrating end-to-end business issues for the middle market.
