Managing the Millennium Bug and Its Implications for Your Organisation

The millennium bug or Year 2000 problem, will affect everyone in some way or another. Consequences for business range from minor disputes to possible bankruptcy and expensive litigation. This book focuses on the non-technical aspects of the problem and provides practical guidance on best practice. Written in an easy, no-nonsense style, it shows how to ensure that you and your suppliers are millennium compliant - as failure to do so may have legal and contractual consequences. The authors explain what those consequences are and tell you how to plan for them, including promising what needs to be done now, setting up a project team to manage the workload, and considering the unforeseen new dangers in years to come. The action plan, model contracts and audits add up to a complete toolkit for tackling the problem now.
