About the Book

By now, everyone has heard the horror stories surrounding the Year 2000 problem. Disappearing bank accounts, crashing aeroplanes, misdirected nuclear missiles - these are all issues which have been apparently dealt with. However, despite the best organized, planned and tested efforts, even a responsible business can be at risk from Y2K problems. These problems lie not in the internal systems which may well be ready for all eventualities, but in external supply chains which could fail and cause unforeseen problems. All businesses, regardless of the level of Y2K readiness, must have a Year 2000 contingency plan in place to ensure continuity through and beyond January 2000. Basically, there are three components to such continuity: testing, risk management, and contingency planning. This text works in unison with two previous titles (Perry "Year 2000 Software Testing" and De Jager "Countdown Y2K") to complete a Y2K survival kit which covers all of these areas necessary for business success. Furthermore, it explains how to undertake precautionary measures such as a legal audit which can mitigate the legal risks resulting from Year 2000 shortcomings. Presenting a phase-by-phase approach to ensuring business continuity in the event of Year 2000 difficulties and failures, this book prepares business and IT professionals in a number of ways. It allows the reader to draw-up checklists and contingency planning templates to ensure a well-organized and comprehensive approach to the impending issues. It guides the professional on a path to recovery after Y2K problems, covering short and long-term steps to restore normal business practices and minimize loss. And when used in conjunction with the other Wiley Year 2000 titles, this book allows the reader to be prepared for Year 2000 issues from all conceivable angles.
