The only critical problem in the Deans office is the upgrading of our internal accounting system which is in an early version of the program dBase. We are in the middle of trying to evaluate this software and converting the data to work in a current program. We expect that work will be completed by December 99. Many of our computers have been purchased within the last two or three years and are Y2K compliant. The accounting functions in the Deans office are on newer computers that are Y2K compliant.
Older hardware is in use in our laboratories.
We have considered temporary fixes for the lab computers and this is not a critical problem. Copyright 1999 University of Rhode Island. All rights reserved.
