M2 PRESSWIRE-11 November 1998-TASKFORCE 2000: World's most comprehensive study shows government unprepared for year 2000 date change impact (C)1994-98 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD RDATE:111198 -- Public sector problems now unavoidable Taskforce 2000 today published the world's most comprehensive and detailed analysis of a government's preparedness to deal with the Year 2000 date change. The study, sponsored by Compuware, shows that it is too late to prevent the so-called 'Millennium Bug' striking at the heart of Government. Robin Guenier, executive director of Taskforce 2000, said: "The public sector is in trouble. It has been slow in getting to grips with this and now is forced to engage in damage limitation. This study demonstrates that Government is still struggling to come to terms with the size of the task it faces. To avoid the worst of it, the Cabinet must recognise that it is facing an emergency, as the Prime Minister indicated in March." Report author, Ian Hugo, said: "My report is based on information published by the Government, it is not a detailed audit of Government systems. It is probable that a full audit of the whole of the public sector would show a much more serious situation. It is very difficult to be hopeful of a satisfactory outcome." In its role as an independent commentator and think tank, Taskforce 2000 has scrutinised official figures made public at the initiative of Dr David Clark MP whilst in Government. This scrutiny has resulted in the following findings: Edited highlights Government is still massively under budgeted for the cost impact of fixing its systems - it has already adjusted its estimates for the total public sector from UKP1 billion to UKP3 billion. However, "cost creep", as evidenced in the report, and private sector experience indicate that a comprehensive fix for the public sector would be in the region of UKP7-8 billion. Attrition or "Death by a Thousand Cuts" is now a real threat to public sector services. Major individual failures can and probably will be prevented, but this does not guarantee a successfully outcome. Taskforce 2000 believes that, at the present rate of progress, a process of attrition, where individually minor failures occur repeatedly and successively within a short space of time, handicapping normal delivery of services to a point where delivery grinds to a halt, is a likely outcome. The study reveals that all departments have left adequate action desperately late and few come close to good practice in the private sector. There is still an enormous amount of work to be done in all Departments and Agencies. For the first time, to help the public and media focus their attention, Taskforce 2000 has ranked central Government departments and agencies into four categories: good progress, low risk, medium risk and high risk. Testing of systems is crucial to a successful outcome and absorbs at least 50 per cent of required resources. All departments have inadequate testing programmes at present and time is fast running out. Inadequate testing would mean a real and unacceptable risk of systems being disrupted by major failures. There is little in the Government's published information about contingency planning. Things will go wrong and it is essential that detailed plans be put in place to deal with this. Such plans must be made public so that the private sector can adjust its plans to those of the Government. Government has so far not adopted a "change freeze". Corrected systems do not necessarily stay that way and large volumes of changes create instability in IT systems. Best practice in the private sector has implemented a freeze on additional change and overseas, the Canadian Government, for example, has stipulated that new legislation is subordinate to Year 2000 programmes. "Taskforce 2000 believes that the Government should now go further and require the wider public sector, the NHS and local authorities, to publish details of their Year 2000 planning. Also, there is a desperate need for information about the utilities," Guenier concluded. Steve Busby, European Business Director for Testing, Compuware, said: "We have sponsored this study with the aim of focusing attention on the importance of getting systems ready for the Millennium. We have only 13 months left and the situation for many in both the public and private sector is becoming critical. There is still time to dramatically speed up Y2K projects with the effective use of skills and automated tools. However, urgent action now will save a great deal of heartache later!" About Compuware Corporation Compuware has been providing testing solutions for 25 years and is the world-wide leader of the Automated Sofware Quality (ASQ) market, providing debugging, functional, load, data, process, Y2K and Euro testing solutions for mainframe, client/server and Internet environments.

DUBLIN -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/eabc9d/the_future_of_hous) has announced the addition of the "The Future of Household Care Consumer Trends in Australia" report to their offering.
Understanding the most important trends impacting Australian consumers requires a broader understanding of the macro environment forces that have affected Australia in recent years. This report outlines how these social drivers translate into distinct attitudinal and behavioral shifts among Australian consumers with respect to household care shopping and consumption.
Features and benefits:
* Identify the five most important consumer developments occurring in Australia, and understand how these affect consumers' household care choices
* Gain an in-depth understanding of the broader socio-demographic, economic and technological forces shaping Australian consumer behavior
* Benefit from Australia-focused consumer insight, benchmarked against global sentiment, to cater for contextualized, region-specific information needs
Highlights:
* Nearly one-quarter of Australians will be over 65 by 2050. Addressing population aging requires rethinking of all aspects of a company's marketing strategyfrom product design to promotion. Companies need to take a proactive approach to addressing this historically undervalued segment, in order to capitalize on rapidly shifting demographic trends.
* Over four-in-10 Australians find shopping enjoyable, but almost the same proportion think there is too much product choice when shopping. Retailers can reconcile this paradox by competing on non-price characteristics such as customer service and in-store layout, to ensure the shopping experience is interesting and engaging for Australians.
* Less than half of Australians believe natural household cleaning products are as effective as non-natural offerings. Manufacturers of natural products need to be doing more to convince consumers that the science of natural formulation does not mean a compromise.
Your key questions answered:
* How do Australian consumers define 'value-for-money' and how have value orientations changed in recent years?
* How are Australians using the internet to make household care choices? What influence is improving connectivity exerting on Australian lifestyles?
* How will private label household care products fare now that the economic downturn is effectively over? What do Australians think about private label?
* What are the most influential claims guiding Australians' household care choices? How do these relate to more general attitudes towards the home?
* What are the latest products and brands that are effectively addressing the needs of Australian household care consumers?
Brands to watch:
* Coles Green Choice
* Method
* This Works
* P&G Future Friendly
* Seventh Generation

It was only the beginning.
The spate of mergers that took place between mortgage banks this year was just the start of what could turn into a wave of companies exiting the business.
At least one of the top 10 mortgage servicers will be acquired in 1997, says David M. Partridge, a director at Towers Perrin, a consulting firm in Valhalla, N.Y.
In addition, he said, as companies become increasingly dissatisfied with low profit margins, one of the top five servicers may sell off that side of its business.
Mr. Partridge and Paul T. Johnson, another Towers Perrin consultant, would not single out lenders that they thought were looking to sell. But the two said they could identify companies that are likely to stick around.
This category includes Norwest Mortgage, Countrywide Credit Industries, NationsBanc Mortgage, and BankAmerica Mortgage.
Norwest and Countrywide are the two largest servicers in the nation. NationsBanc ranks sixth and BankAmerica eighth.
Mr. Partridge also predicted that some 20% of all servicers will sell their portfolios in 1997. If that happens, $500 billion in servicing rights could change hands, he said.
On the originations side, Mr. Johnson predicted that 10% to 20% of lenders will exit the loan production business, because it is the least profitable part of mortgage banking. He said that only a significant drop in interest rates would prevent a rash of companies from selling or closing down.
The two consultants said the new year will also present other challenges to the industry. Mr. Partridge said one wild card is whether real estate brokers will be able to compete with traditional mortgage banks.
In November, HFS Inc., owner of real estate brokerage agencies Century 21 and Coldwell Banker, said it would purchase PHH Corp., one of the largest mortgage originators.
Mr. Partridge said that if HFS can get 30% to 40% of its brokerage customers to also apply for a PHH mortgage, it will create a fundamental change in how mortgages are originated. The merger could make it easier for customers to get a loan at the point of a home purchase, he noted.
Mr. Johnson said technology companies will also begin to play a larger role in mortgage banking. He said software producers like Microsoft, which are known for effective marketing and distribution of products, could partner with financial institutions to offer alternatives like the Internet as a place to shop for mortgages.
"Customers are clearly accepting of people like Bill Gates," Mr. Partridge said.

However, by policy we generally do not buy or sell any shares of a company's stock within three trading days after any such company's profile, commentary, or other company-specific information is disseminated on Stockwire.com Web site. In cases where we do trade within the three day window, our volume will never represent more than 5% of the daily volume, thereby minimizing any effect we could have on the potential price movement.
While our policies as detailed above are designed to minimize any impact upon our members of a conflict of interest between our company and our members, each member should be fully aware that such potential and actual conflicts of interest may well exist due to the compensation structure detailed herein. For this reason, and because the information contained on Stockwire.com is updated on a regular basis as circumstances change, each member is strongly encouraged to periodically review the Profile Compensation section at http://www.stockwire.com/disclaimer_profiles.htm
