The University's Y2K preparation began in 1994 and concentrated first on centrally controlled enterprise systems. Early on, a CITS Y2K implementation team was formed with full representation. System inventories were then compiled and assessed, and remediation plans were put into place.
Most plans are now complete while the rest remain on schedule for completion.
In 1996, an effort was initiated to raise awareness throughout the institution and to encourage action regarding Y2K issues. Presentations were made to various groups at all levels of the institution including the Board of Trustees. Workshops were offered to departmental IT providers, and articles appeared in campus publications. By the end of 1998, the University Vice Presidents had formed a UC Year 2000 Support Team charged to monitor and assist the distributed technology activities in Colleges and Departments to help insure their Y2K readiness. While smaller items are not mentioned, the following provides a brief statement on the Y2K status of each major area of activity.
