Gartner Reports Little Year 2000 Progress

Our ongoing effort is to provide not only a legal perspective on the Year 2000 problem but also to alert our readers to the lack of progress being made in various industry sectors. A major announcement by the Gartner Group in this regard continues to confirm our belief that the Year 2000 problem is worsening rather than improving. Newsbytes Inc. reports the results of the most recent Gartner statistics in an October 3 report. Gartner reports that though Year 2000 programs have doubled in the past year, an alarming 40% have not progressed past the initial awareness and planning stages. It reports that only 35% of companies are where they should be on the remediation life cycle.
