description: If you want to find out how Fortune 100 companies are solving the Year 2000 problem and apply their methods in your own enterprise, business or organization, a new book from International Thomson Computer Press is what you need. Year 2000 Strategies and Solutions from the Fortune 100 , by Leon Kappelman and members of the Society for Information Management (SIM) Year 2000 Working Group, has been called "a gold mine of solid, practical strategies for solving your specific year 2000 problem" by Bob Thomas, publisher of the Year/2000 Journal. A consortium of 52 authors with 10 editorial assistants have contributed to the development of the book, directing all royalties toward non-profit use. Among the Year 2000 strategies described in detail are tactics instituted at the Chubb Group, Chase Manhattan Bank, Union Pacific, and IBM. These case studies clarify problems of estimation, cost, scheduling, testing, risk management, and liability, among other critical elements of the process. With its eminently practical approach, Year 2000 Strategies and Solutions from the Fortune 100 is the most informed, focused, and ready-to-use guide yet to appear on the problem. An accompanying CD-ROM includes a vendor risk assessment strategy, a business risk assessment database, a project management database tool, PC test software, and a file conversion utility.
