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."
