You've got to act now. This year, it's bon voyage to fixed asset depreciations and forecasting. Next year, say good-bye to your accounts payable.

"Fujitsu Microelectronics is already benefiting with R/3's Year 2000 compliance. We're able to use R/3 in the administration of multi-year contracts and orders that extend beyond 2000, as well as for marketing research that requires extrapolation of data beyond 2000. Therefore, we can concentrate on our core business without the distraction and expense of massive manual data manipulation that noncompliant systems would require."
