Russian Failure Projectionsgreenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread |
Freinds, please see the following:Especially this:
The Gartner Report produced by the Gartner Group, an IT industry analyst organization, forecasts that Russia will experience a severe Y2K problem:
Utilities will operate at 40 percent of capacity for the first two months of 2000;
Transportation will be disrupted 80 percent of the time and telecommunications 50 percent of the time for a three-month period;
Hospitals will deal with nothing but emergencies for at least two months; Financial markets will be disrupted for 30 trading days; and
Banks will be disrupted for 20 business days.
Does anyone have a link for this Gartner Report? Has anyone seen a prediction for the duration of disruptions for systems in other countries?
If this info is avaliable for Russia, for which 'we' have difficulty getting good intel surely a similar projection is available for the US, the UK and other parts of the world......

Thanks, wolfie.I missed this one. A very good read BTW.
However, it does not project the days of duration by system group as mentioned in the Senate testimony.
Has anyone seen anything like the above testimony applied to other than Russia? What about the USA?
