“Do you remember where you were on Y2k?” Ask that of most IT professionals and you’re almost sure to get a conversation started. While the non-IT crowd was off partying like it’s 1999, many of us spent the new year in the office, on call or tied to our pager. Even those of us who weren’t directly involved in the actual change-over probably still remember the grueling months of effort that went into making sure everything was ready for the big day. I bring up Y2k not because it’s a “success story” for IT, but because it’s a great illustration of the value of future-proofing.
