Overview
Y2K is just months away. You've bought tools, hired consultants, chosen technical strategies, "triaged" applications not worth fixing. But have you done all you can to manage your business and technical risks -- many of which still exist even if you fix all your key systems in time? Y2K Risk Management gives you a systematic blueprint for doing just that.You'll learn specific techniques for minimizing your Y2K legal exposure, for exercising due diligence -- and for substantiating your due diligence. Discover what recourse you have if you don't expect a supplier's systems to be properly remediated. Understand your key defenses against Y2K litigation -- and find out how to avoid litigation through alternative dispute resolution techniques. Learn which disclosure regulations, industry standards and other key compliance yardsticks apply to your company.
You'll walk through creating contingency plans that can maintain business continuity even if your factory's power and your shipper's computer systems actually do fail. Then, once you've mitigated your risks, Y2K Risk Management shows how to address the risks that remain, through insurance and other "risk transfer" techniques.
It's a sad fact: you could do all the "technical" Y2K stuff right, but if you don't cover these bases, you might still be in hot water. Now's the time to button up the non-technical side of Y2K -- and this is the book that'll help you get it done.
