This is 100% correct. Many firms are starting to require that vendors, consultants, etc. have "Y2K Compliancy Guarantees" in their contracts and will not do business without them. The penalties can be high... At 07:22 PM 5/8/98 -0400, jkucic@kpmg.com wrote:

I don't but its an opportunity to sell the client. And if you don't test it I
recommend you don't get quoted saying it doesn't matter unless you want a
lawsuit if anything happens.
Customers want everything in writing to be Year 200 compliant or not having any
affect on their operation and in many cases regulators are mandating it in
writing.
