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 "MillenniumYear Application Software
System" (M.Y.A.S.S.).
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 "I'm little nervous, I've never put anything
into MYASS before."
I volunteered to help her through her first time and when we were
through, she admitted that it was relatively painless and that 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 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 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.
In a recent audit, an employee was asked where he had secured the
numbers on a report.
He proudly exclaimed "I just pulled them out of MYASS."
