The MCCCD Year 2000 Project
MARICOPA IS Y2K READY and SUCCESSFULLY RUNNING NOW!!!!!
Have you heard of the Year 2000 bug? Maricopa has taken the Year 2000 concerns very seriously. As noted in the Maricopa Community Colleges and Year 2000 White Paper, Maricopa divided the project into "Enterprise-wide" and "Unit" areas of responsibilities. Extensive use of Maricopa employees and other resources as well as vendor support was used to ensure that services supplied by Maricopa will not be negatively impacted by the Year 2000 concerns.
