Use all talents within the organisation to create multidisciplinary teams to undertake step-wise rectification. Include a mix of management staff, IT staff, and substantive experts. Locate them together and relieve them from other responsibilities to the extent possible. Ensure that anything new developed or purchased is Y2K compliant. Use industry standard steps in achieving Y2K compliance, but simplify where possible.
Information is available on the Internet, literature, and IT magazines.
Include embedded chips in the Y2K inventory and seek out compliance information for them. Start conversion of mission-critical systems in priority order. Remember that, although necessary, awareness campaigns or lengthy planning process will not resolve Y2K problems. Start practical work immediately. Do not wait for funding before starting.
