Saving Costs on Year 2000 Projects

Abstract

The urgency of the year 2000 challenge is matched by the need to control the costs of what may be the largest IS task with no return on investment. Scaling back a year 2000 outsourcing project within acceptable levels of risk and breaking it down into three phases with targeted requests for proposal (RFPs) provides major cost savings and streamlines the bid-creation and vendor-selection process.
