Innovative Computing Modifying complex code can be a nightmare. A “minor” change to a field or object might impact hundreds or thousands of touch-points buried throughout an application. Failure to account for any of those touch-points can have serious consequences. For software companies, such as Innovative Computing Corporation, maintaining multiple software versions that run on different operating system releases multiplies the challenge. And the consequences of mistakes are amplified when the company delivers its software to its many customers.

Dial Rent-a-Car was the first company to use Databorough's complete service to address the problem of the year 2000. Their problem became pressing in 1995 simply because many of their contracts were for five years and they would be experiencing "millennium" problems the following year as a result. Jean-Marc Jouniaux, the Senior Project Manager explains the situation: "We needed the lowest-cost solution available because the company had made no decision on the long-term computing strategy for the future. At the same time we needed a fast solution because our long-term contracts were normally for five years and we were in danger of failing to manage the business." Read more... |

Atlas Copco Atlas Copco is a Swedish company that specializes in manufacturing compressors, power tools and construction and mining tools. Because their applications are installed in over 60 Atlas Copco companies worldwide - each of which has its own local applications and interfaces - sufficient time was needed to roll out the updated apps to each sales office, which would then require time to apply local changes to their core systems. Clearly, Atlas Copco's core millennium compliancy was needed in a hurry. For several years, Atlas Copco had been relying on Datasolve Systems International, in Kent, England, to assist in the support and development of its BPCS system. A study team from Atlas Copco and Datasolve chose Databorough's X-2000 product. Read more... |
