This book examines the implications of the impending Y2K crisis.

The author, a research director for Gartner Group, describes the technical details of the problem, its potential consequences, and the actions organizations should take to mitigate the risks. The author emphasizes that resolving this crisis requires not just technical fixes, but a high-level commitment to risk management and business continuity. In addition to providing insights into how businesses and governments can prevent a technological disaster, this book offers valuable lessons on crisis management and the importance of planning for unforeseen events.
