New Survey 53% Finished,nearly or more than 1/2 finished Y2k

[Glenn Ericson <Glenn-Ericson@xxxxxxx>]

How  do you fit this reporting?
Does it truly  represent the state of AS/400 land?
At the Fall COMMON I was hearing 70% have not started 
Yr2000 efforts yet.  What  might our 400 community be awaiting?

Interesting Web Site Post on new survey:

         Gartner Technology Watch:
                 by Erik Keller
 > Year 2000 Compliance: By year-end 1999, 30 percent of externally
 focused mission-critical systems and 50 percent of all systems will fail to
 achieve year 2000 compliance. (This statistic has a probability of 0.8, or
 an 80 percent chance of occurrence.) Gartner Group calculates that
 meeting year 2000 compliance will cost a North American enterprise an
 average of $1.10 per executable line of code (LOC), and a typical
 project will average between 10 and 50 million LOCs at $60 per hour.  

 Achieving year 2000 compliance will take one year of full-time labor for
 every 100,000 LOCs. However, the costs of not solving this issue --
 business failure, lost opportunities and customer dissatisfaction -- make
 the solution a true competitive advantage.  
=======SNIP ==========
This question is general & might relate to all efforts even  beyond Mis
===========================================
 3. How far along is your company's year 2000 compliance
 program?

 More than halfway completed       21%

------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                100%

What  are your/the Y2K inhibitors and show stoppers?

Happy Holiday Season
