GoldMine Software Corp., a subsidiary of JSE listed Ixchange, has announced the integration of Greenwich Mean Time`s Check 2000 Client Server with HEAT 5.01, its help desk and call centre solution.
"We`re excited to have Check 2000 as a component of HEAT," said Vance Brown, president and CEO, GoldMine Software Corp. "Year 2000 compliance is a universal concern of the utmost importance. Our customers have asked for a solution that works with HEAT to make sure their systems don`t fail. Check 2000 has provided that easily deployable solution right out of the box."
Check 2000 is fully network enabled so that it can be rolled out across a network to automatically locate and diagnose Y2K issues in each PC - the systems administrator doesn`t even have to leave his or her seat. The software helps IT managers assess their systems year 2000 risk by proactively checking all five layers of a PC; hardware (BIOS), operating systems, software programs, user data and data sharing. The majority of Y2K problems can be identified by Check 2000 which also works to maintain the ongoing health of the system up to and beyond the millennium. IT managers are also given a wealth of advice on upgrades and repairs.
"OEM agreements allow us to extend our market to a wider audience of PC users, some of whom would otherwise not do anything to resolve their year 2000 problems," Said Karl W Feilder, President And CEO, Greenwich Mean Time. "Every single PC must be checked. Working with companies like GoldMine gives us the opportunity to educate more people about how easy it is to resolve year 2000 problems."
