Congratulations! You've located the most comprehensive, cost-effective Year2000 (Y2K) compliance toolset commercially available on the W/W Web! The OTE2000+ Date Class Object Software System is a 21st Century Systems Development toolset that's been extended to provide truly innovative Y2K compliance methodologies. OTE2000+ includes hundreds of pre-programmed Date/Time-related functions, integral "anywhere-in-time" test facility, artificial intelligence enabled transparent physical date conversions to 4-digit years, and supports all European, Gregorian & Julian date types from 2-byte Abstracts through the almighty 8-byte Gregorian YYYYMMDD's.

OTE2000+ Virtual Bridging Methodology (TM) is a Top-Down Methodology that implements a "Virtual Bridge" at the individual record level:

• Enables applications to be made Y2K-compliant as they're running!
• Enables "critical" date fields & functions to be made Y2k-compliant without disturbing the balance of the entities in the application.
• Virtual Bridges typically take 2-4 hours (one-time) to build.
• Virtual Bridges take 5-15 minutes per program to implant.
• The larger the system, the more productive Virtual Bridges become.
• OTE2000+ Virtual Bridges are automatically Y2K-compliant.
• Virtual Bridges are very flexible and very forgiving (a rarity).
• Virtual Bridges are data independent - all data management systems are supported: Flat Files, ISAM, VSAM, IMS, DB2, and so forth.
• OTE2000+ Virtual Bridges support all date field formats from 2-byte Abstracts all the way up to 8-byte almightly Gregorian YYYYMMDD's.
• OTE2000+ Virtual Bridges provide transparent physical conversions to two-byte 4-digit years, along with OTE2000+'s 3-byte Abstracts.
• All other physical conversions to 4-digit years are fully supported and they're usually doable over the weekend!

OTE2000+ has hundreds of pre-programmed Date/Time-related functions:

• These functions alone will cost you twice the price in competitive products - and date subroutines are about all they provide!
• OTE2000+'s a high-performance compute engine that features purely algorithmic solutions - no internal or external tables to maintain.
• OTE2000+ features heterogenous equations that combine Julian and Gregorian calendar rules into a single solution that encompasses the entire 10,000-year domain of 01/01/0000 through 12/31/9999.
• Calendar, Fiscal, and Working Day calculations are included.
• OTE2000+ Dynamic Work Weeks (TM) features algorithmically computed Gregorian-era (1582-9999) Holidays - no tables to maintain ever!

OTE2000+ Dynamic Domain Algorithms (TM) give OTE2000+ Dynamic Century Assignment Method its nearly 200-year wide windows!

• The OTE2000+ Birthday and Hire Date Dynamic Domain Algorithms are failsafe until an active employee is 115 years old!
• All OTE2000+ Dynamic Domain Algorithms include the System-Date (or Local-Date) and therefore "autofloat" - never needing maintenance.
• The OTE2000+ Data Entry Salvation # 1 and Data Entry Salvation # 2 Dynamic Domain Algorithms yield a 198-year wide window which drives the OTEAD880 Data Entry Salvation Skeleton Program (included).

OTE2000+ provides "Soft Clocking" capabilities so that all OTE2000+ based programs can be tested "anywhere-in-time" without the need to change the System-Date or System-Time (or buy separate software).

OTE2000+ includes the OTEP2001 DATE Scenario Interface Evaluator Miss DATESIE program which enables OTE2000+ based solutions to be created and evaluated without writing any code!

All OTE2000+ Date Class Object Software System programs are written exclusively in ANSI COBOL:

• Multi-Platform: OTE2000+ runs in any environment supporting COBOL, which in today's world is virtually Desktop-to-Mainframe.
• Multi-Language: OTE2000+ can be called by any computer program that is written in any language which can Call a COBOL sub-module (i.e. ALC, BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, PL/I, Sorts, 4-G/L's, Utilities, etc.).
• Data Independent: OTE2000+ Objects are fully encapsulated (data and functionality) - ensuring standardization and maintainability.
• OTE2000+ can be used in almost all DBMS environments: Flat Files, ISAM, VSAM, IMS, DB2, etc., because it's data independent.
• OTE2000+ R2.0 Type2KP Objects for IBM/MVS environments support all batch applications and IMS DB/DC applications.
• OTE2000+ R2.0 Type2KC Objects for IBM/MVS environments support all CICS 2.1 and above applications.
