Since 1996 the University has inventoried affected systems, determined Y2K viability and taken steps to ensure compliance. All central administrative computer systems will be Y2K compliant by Spring 1999 and testing of those systems will continue into the year 2000. Departmental and other ancillary systems are in various stages of compliance. The University is working closely with the manufacturers of systems containing embedded chip technology to ensure that any necessary upgrades are implemented prior to 2000. This work continues as the manufacturers make their Y2K compliant systems available.
Work also continues to determine the compliance of our business partners and suppliers.
Although a lot of time and effort has been invested to anticipate and fix known problems, it is impossible to ensure that everything will run smoothly on January 1, 2000. Therefore, Clarion is developing contingency plans for our mission critical services to mitigate any unanticipated malfunctions.
