Build Your Own SWAT Team - Year 2000 transition management; Adpac's services - Company Business and Marketing - Brief Article

Even if you've remediated and tested and contingency-planned like crazy, you may still need help with glitches come the Fateful Day. Here's one solution: Set up your own Y2K SWAT team.

For $1,500 per person (or $20,000 for a whole session at your site), mainframe software vendor Adpac Corp. will train your staff to hit the ground running on January 1,2000. The San Francisco company is offering what it terms System Wide Analysis Team (SWAT) training classes in a five-day course that specializes in rapidly fixing critical problems on the actual day that the date switches.

An intensive training session that's based on the SVCommands analysis tool -- Adpac's flagship software -- Y2K SWAT is designed to help companies manage the aftermath of converting applications for Y2K. IT personnel who undergo SWAT training will be "rigorously tested and given a high-level understanding of the utilities necessary for thorough in-house Y2K crisis management," says the company.
