Year 2000 program Posted by inayath on November 12, 1997 at 22:55:38: > A great new software announcement!!!! > > This memo is to announce the development of a new software system. We > are currently building a data center that will contain all firm data > that is Year 2000 compliant. The program is referred to as the > "Millennia Year Application Software System" (MYASS). > > Next Monday at 9:00 there will be a meeting in which I will show MYASS > to everyone. We will continue to hold demonstrations throughout the > month so that all employees will have an opportunity to get a good > look > at MYASS. As for the status of the implementation of the program, I > have > not addressed the networking aspects so currently only one person at a > time can use MYASS. This restriction will be removed after MYASS > expands. > > Several people are using the program already and have come to depend > on > it. Just this morning I walked into a subordinate's office and was not > surprised to find that he had his nose buried in MYASS. I've noticed > that some of the less technical personnel are somewhat afraid of > MYASS. > Just last week, when asked to enter some information into the program, > I > had a secretary say to me "I'm a little nervous, I've never put > anything > in MYASS before." I volunteered to help her through her first time and > when we were through she admitted that it was relatively painless and > she was actually looking forward to doing it again. She went so far > as > to say that after using SAP and Oracle, she was ready to kiss MYASS. > > I know there are concerns over the virus that was found in MYASS upon > initial installation, but I am pleased to say the virus has been > eliminated and we were able to save MYASS. In the future, however, > protection will be required prior to entering MYASS. > > We planned this database to encompass all information associated with > the business. So as you begin using the program, feel free to put > anything you want into MYASS. As MYASS grows larger, we envision a > time > when it will be commonplace to walk by an office and see a manager > hand > a paper to an employee and say "Here, stick this in MYASS". > > This program has already demonstrated great benefit to the company > during recent OSHA and EPA audits. After requesting certain > historical > data the agency representatives were amazed at how quickly we provided > the information. When asked how the numbers could be retrieved so > rapidly our Environmental Manager proudly stated "Simple, I just > pulled > them out of MYASS". > > Thank You For Your Time > | |
