Taking Inventory

Boston University's Year 2000 System Inventory Worksheet

The purpose of this worksheet is to help University offices, departments, and centers inventory their software and hardware so they can ascertain components they must modify or replace prior to the Year 2000. We suggest that each office, department, or center use this worksheet to list critical University-owned computer hardware and software.

You can compare the results of your inventory with information we have compiled for many Hardware and Software products found at this web site. These tables record vendor compliance claims for products commonly used at Boston University. The records on the web site represent the cooperative effort of the Office of Information Technology, University Information Systems, and the Medical Campus Office of Information Technology to assist others throughout the University in hardware and software evaluation.

We encourage those evaluating department and office products to contact vendors of hardware and software not found in the BU Y2K tables to help ascertain their compliance status and to help determine the department/office's course of action.
