What is NA2000 SCAN and NAIMPACT

NA2000 SCAN and NAIMPACT, are products of ten-year old veteran New Art Communications. Both are a set of smart, easy to install and use utilities, that can save you thousands of expensive hours of programmer time.

Where NA2000 SCAN is a batch analytical workhorse that pinpoints date-related problems specifically for the Year 2000 problem, NAIMPACT is a Windows GUI-based interactive and iterative analytical tool that pinpoints and assesses modification requirements for any end-user requirement -- including Year 2000.
