A great new software announcement!!! This memo is to announce
|
||
|
|
the development of a new software system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are currently building a data center that will contain all firm
|
||
|
|
data that is Year 2000 compliant. The program is referred to as the
|
||
|
|
"Millennia Year Application Software System" (MYASS).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next Monday at 9:00 there will be a meeting in which I will show
|
||
|
|
MYASS to everyone. We will continue to hold demonstrations
|
||
|
|
throughout the month so that all employees will have an opportunity
|
||
|
|
to get a good look at MYASS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As for the status of the implementation of the program, I have not
|
||
|
|
addressed the networking aspects so currently only one person at a
|
||
|
|
time can use MYASS. This restriction will be removed after MYASS
|
||
|
|
expands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Several people are using the program already and have come to depend
|
||
|
|
on it. Just this morning I walked into a subordinate's office and
|
||
|
|
was not surprised to find that he had his nose buried in MYASS.
|
||
|
|
I've noticed that some of the less technical personnel are somewhat
|
||
|
|
afraid of MYASS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just last week, when asked to enter some information into the
|
||
|
|
program, I had a secretary say to me "I'm a little nervous, I've
|
||
|
|
never put anything in MYASS before." I volunteered to help her
|
||
|
|
through her first time and when we were through she admitted that it
|
||
|
|
was relatively painless and she was actually looking forward to doing
|
||
|
|
it again. She went so far as to say that after using SAP and Oracle,
|
||
|
|
she was ready to kiss MYASS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I know there are concerns over the virus that was found in MYASS
|
||
|
|
upon initial installation, but I am pleased to say the virus has
|
||
|
|
been eliminated and we were able to save MYASS. In the future, however,
|
||
|
|
protection will be required prior to entering MYASS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We planned this database to encompass all information associated with
|
||
|
|
the business. So as you begin using the program, feel free to put
|
||
|
|
anything you want into MYASS. As MYASS grows larger, we envision a
|
||
|
|
time when it will be commonplace to walk by an office and see a
|
||
|
|
manager hand a paper to an employee and say "Here, stick this in
|
||
|
|
MYASS."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This program has already demonstrated great benefit to the company
|
||
|
|
during recent OSHA and EPA audits. After requesting certain
|
||
|
|
historical data the agency representatives were amazed at how quickly
|
||
|
|
we provided the information. When asked how the numbers could be
|
||
|
|
retrieved so rapidly our Environmental Manager proudly stated
|
||
|
|
"Simple, I just pulled them out of MYASS."
