Our goal for satisfying customer concerns about the year 2000 can be summarized in a single statement:
- "We will ensure that our products work without problems through the transition to the year 2000 and beyond."
We decided that the best way to address customer concerns was to launch a complete and
formal initiative that addresses the whole OpenVMS environment --- that is, the operating
system and all other products that are usually packaged with it. The goals of the OpenVMS
Year 2000 Initiative are as follows:
To ensure Year 2000 readiness of OpenVMS software
In the OpenVMS software environment, many interfaces and layered software components
operate on the Year 2000-ready core of the OpenVMS operating system. We have ensured
that these interfaces and layers of software are also ready for the transition to the
year 2000.
To conform to DIGITAL's new Year 2000 Warranty
DIGITAL stands behind the Year 2000 readiness of its products with a
Year 2000
Warranty on its Year 2000-ready products. This warranty has been created specifically
to cover Year 2000-ready products. Our goal is to ensure that OpenVMS software and its
layered products meet the requirements of this new warranty.
To maintain OpenVMS quality
OpenVMS and its layered software products have traditional strengths (for example, 24x365
operation and disaster tolerance) and top-in-class quality that we will maintain by ensuring
that all our products can smoothly and seamlessly make the transition to the year 2000
and beyond.
