This allowed us to begin developing forms to accompany the certification system. We also began working on the division's Y2K certification web page. Tried and tested, we presented the system to the Y2K coordinators on the first of October. We demonstrated how the system could be adapted to a department's particular needs, and made recommendations for integrating any efforts that had already been made into the certification system. ITS has assisted department Y2K coordinators by helping them research compliance issues specific to their department and facilitating the sharing of information between coordinators.
Compliance is an ongoing process.
Certifying desktop desktop systems and servers within the division before the turn of the century will allow departments to identify issues that may require hardware or software purchases and deployment plans to address. ITS Network Services will continue to develop and expand the divisions Y2K web site by developing new content, adding and revising compliance information, and expanding the scope of the site. We encourage all technical people within the division and any other interested parties to use it as a resource over the next year. Division Y2K Coordinators will automatically be notified whenever major revisions and changes occur to the web page to help them keep abreast of new developments.
