Readiness of Several High Priority or Mission Critical State Systems State agencies are progressing in efforts to make key computer systems Year 2000 compliant, but some are not leaving adequate time for testing to prevent Y2K failures, according to a series of reports released today by State Comptroller H. Carl McCall. That is pretty late in the game to begin testing.
Testing takes time, and time is running out.
McCall s auditors are reviewing many of the State s key computer systems to assess whether the agencies involved appear to be taking the necessary steps to address Year 2000 problems related to these systems. They have come a long way. Each State agency is responsible for addressing its own Y2K issues. McCall s auditors reviewed eighteen key computer systems, including those that track child support enforcement, consumer complaints, Thruway toll collections, and student loan activity. Twenty-five additional reviews of key State computer systems are underway.
