A great new software announcement!!!!
This memo is to announce the development of our new software system. We are
currently entering a new database system that will contain all of the firm's
data that is Year 2000 compliant. The program is referred to as the
"Millennia Year Application Software System" (MYASS). Next Monday at 9:00
there will be a meeting in which I will show MYASS to everyone. We will
continue to hold demonstrations throughout the month so that all employees
will have an opportunity to get a good look at MYASS. As for the status of
the implementation of the program, I have not addressed the networking
aspects so currently only one person at a time can use MYASS. This
restriction will be removed after MYASS expands. Several people are using
the program already and have come to depend on it. Just this morning I
walked into a subordinate's office and was not surprised to find that he had
his nose buried in MYASS. However, I've noticed that some of the less
technical personnel are somewhat afraid of MYASS. Just last week, when asked
to enter some information into the program, I had a secretary say to me "I'm
a little nervous, I've never put anything in MYASS before." I volunteered to
help her through her first time and when we were through she admitted that
it was relatively painless and she was actually looking forward to doing it
again. She went so far as to say that after using SAP and Oracle, she was
ready to kiss MYASS. I know there are concerns over the virus that was found
in MYASS upon initial installation, but I am pleased to say the virus has
been eliminated and we were able to save MYASS. In the future, however,
protection will be required prior to entering MYASS. We planned this
database to encompass all information associated with the business. So as
you begin using the program, feel free to put anything you want into MYASS.
As MYASS grows larger, we envision a time when it will be commonplace to
walk by an office and see a manager hand a paper to an employee and say
"Here, stick this in MYASS". This program has already demonstrated great
benefit to the company during recent OSHA and EPA audits. After requesting
certain historical data the agency representatives were amazed at how
quickly we provided the information. When asked how the numbers could be
retrieved so rapidly our Environmental Manager proudly stated "Simple, I
just pulled them out of MYASS".
