"Management professionals must provide Year 2000 Readiness information in order to keep their organization running smoothly." said Lowry. "The Registry is designed to provide high volume, convenient, communications of up-to-date information whether users are in a brokerage office or at a home computer - enabling each of us to integrate critical Year 2000 information into our day-to-day decision-making as investors, consumers and organizations in all public and private sectors. Banks, schools, hospitals, airlines, essential community services, consumer products - the list keeps growing."

"It is important to address all Year 2000 issues and inquiries in a single source." said Lowry. "Every consumer and organization needs to inquire about the reliability of specific products and services, contingency plans and scheduling issues, warranty and liability statements, customer service advisories, and so on. The Registry enables organizations to manage all of these issues by coordinating all their written compliance, status and contingency statements, links to corporate and industry websites, specific contact names for further inquiries, and so on - all in one integrated solution."
