Think you'll be ready?
Are the PCs that run your business ready for the millennium?
Protect Your Personal Computing Environment
If you're unsure what to believe about the Year 2000 (Y2K) millennium bug, think about this. The bug impacts personal computing across the board - PC hardware, operating systems, application software, and data. While there is considerable awareness about Y2K, it is critical for PC users to recognize that hardware-level problems represent a small fraction of the potential Year 2000 issues facing PCs. A personal computer system is Year 2000 ready when all of its elements are ready. That's why Y2K Small Business Inspect, based on Greenwich Mean Time Check 2000(R) software and Compaq's award-winning service, is specifically designed for businesses that want to ensure that their PC environment is prepared for the millennium across the board - PC hardware, operating systems, application software, and data.
Confidence That comes From A Thorough Assessment
The only way to confidently ensure your business systems are Y2K ready is to test every PC down to cells in individual spreadsheets or databases. The Compaq Y2K Small Business Inspect solution performs a comprehensive assessment of Year 2000 readiness, targeting all five at-risk layers in a PC.
Five-Layer Year 2000 Problem
