Attack 2000, BRC Technology Sourcing

The problem is real!

We are not going to waste your time talking about the major problem we all face today. However, the clock is ticking.

Traditional approaches and solutions take too long to implement. There simply isn't enough time. Yet the solution to the Year 2000 problem requires more than just speed.

Currently, there are approximately 180 billion lines of COBOL code (LOC) representing an estimated $2 trillion investment. The average programmer can handle 100,000 LOC annually. You already know 80 to 90 percent of their time is spent on your existing applications.

What becomes obvious is finding a solution that doesn't compromise your current business responsibilities or your ability to add new ones. Many companies, that adopted (some time ago) traditional programmng approach to the year 2000 problem are still not compliant.

Today, you're faced with a demanding schedule to complete the task in a relatively short period of time. You can't afford to solve this problem alone.

BRC has combined its 27 years of technology experience with an experienced staff and a proven tool kit to deliver a winning solution for your company.

Using our Year 2000 solution means you significantly slash time, costs and resources in solving your 2000 conversion problem while minimizing your risk.

Our automated tools and methods will reduce the cost and duration of the assessment, inventory, modification and testing phases of the conversion.

BRC's ability to process millions of LOC in months, not years, means freeze time is no longer an issue. Plus, BRC's faster conversion integrates easily with your IS processes without compromising your current enterprise functions, because your code is frozen for a shorter period of time.

It's the only viable approach available offering the speed and accuracy you need for a total solution.

Both converted and non-converted applications and data files can actually reside in the same production environment. This means most existing data files and JCL are exempt from the conversion process.

Implementing an automated or a semi-automated approach virtually eliminates human errors. Testing time and IS staff effort is minimal. More importantly, BRC's rigorous testing delivers returned code that functions exactly as before.

Behind the BRC 2000 solution you'll find a company known for innovation and vision. For nearly three decades, we've been answering the call to make solutions affordable and technology understandable and accessible.

The choice should be obvious -- having time to spare or having time run out. Many are racing to become Year 2000 compliant.
