ZAGREB, July 6 (Hina) - A lack of understanding for the Y2K problem
in Croatian companies, the delay in beginning to fix this problem,
and not organised approach to this matter were discussed at
Tuesday's meeting of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce (HGK)
commission for dealing with this matter.
According to world experts, the problem how to adjust date in
computers after the beginning of 2000 is not difficult to solve and
there are already several tested solutions.
Experts in Great Britain and the United States claim that companies
that do not protect them from the so-called millennium bug in time
will be exposed to a business failure.
According to the HGK commission, firms in Croatia have showed
little interest in seeking solutions to the Y2K problem. In recent
months several seminars and workshops have been organised on this
topic for managers, information technology technicians and
experts, but the attendance has been low.
The commission cited the pharmaceutical company Pliva as a good
example of speedy fixing of the millennium bug.
