Universitatea "ROMANO-AMERICANA" Facultatea de "INFORMATICA MANAGERIALA" Elaborat de : Mihalache Andrei Grupa 614 Moving Beyond Y2K The abbreviation Y2K has dominated the vocabulary and budgets of corporate IT departments for so long now that many organizations may find it strange to start thinking beyond 2000. But with the rollover date less than four months away, post-Y2K plans are now part of the immediate rather than long-term future. And, after years of having to reallocate finances and energies toward the year 2000 "bug," companies are finally getting their budgets and personnel back. Analysts say there's plenty to keep IT departments busy. To begin with, 53% of large companies say Y2K forced them to reduce spending in other key areas, according to a recent study from International Data Corp. (IDC). Cutbacks hit hardest at applications development -- 69.6% of companies said they'd trimmed budgets for major applications and 53.7% had curtailed systems software projects. Some 67% cut spending on large to midrange servers and 64.7% on end-user hardware, while 51.9% reduced or postponed work on networks. Such figures suggest companies are now facing a daunting -- and sprawling -- to-do list. However, analysts say that once corporations take a good, hard look at both the status of their current systems and at company priorities, most will find that resources need to be channeled into a handful of precise areas as they shift focus from Y2K projects. "The first priority is clearly implementing or acquiring enterprise applications," says Tom Oleson, research director and principal investigator for year 2000 at IDC. An overwhelming 42.5% of corporate respondents in IDC's study said applications development would lead their projects list, and an additional 10% listed it as their second priority. Oleson notes that in some sectors, the need for major applications development was particularly urgent: 81% of respondents in business and legal services and 84.8% in process manufacturing said this was a key worry. Gartner Group Inc. research director Dale Vecchio calls this the "applications tsunami," the huge buildup of applications projects waiting to be unleashed -- and which could engulf corporate energies unless carefully managed. Like many analysts, Vecchio believes enterprise resource planning packages in particular will lead the way. He also says companies will increasingly outsource such software projects -- building, buying and managing them -- rather than coding them in-house. Another leading concern for companies -- some analysts feel it will be the major focus -- is the Web. "E-commerce,
