OPM is able to perform its mission on and after
January 1, 2000, supported by appropriate information technology resources. OCIO has continued to oversee OPM’s program to achieve Y2K compliance. During FY 1998, OPM made significant progress and met its Y2K remediation plan targets by achieving more than 55 percent compliance of its mission-critical systems compliant by the end of the fiscal year. OPM expects to continue to meet Governmentwide target dates during FY 1999, including having all mission-critical system compliant by March 1999. During FY 1998, OPM upgraded its mainframe data center to a Y2K compliant hardware and operating system software environment. This Y2K compliant environment provides OPM with an in-house capability to test repaired application systems. To provide added assurance, OCIO is using contractor assistance to verify the Y2K compliance of OPM’s mission-critical systems. |

Y2K related IT failures, if any, are promptly
resolved, and IT related business continuity and contingency plans mitigate any problems. During FY 1999, will complete the development and testing of Y2K Business Continuity and Contingency plans. OPM will also implement a Test Model Office to provide the ability to test OPM’s personal computer and local area network based systems in a certified Year 2000 compliant environment. Additionally, OPM will conduct end-to-end testing of systems to assure compliance, validate the compliance of its telecommunications systems, and verify compliance of building systems and facilities. OCIO will continue to oversee all of these preparations for Y2K compliance, provide contractor assisted Y2K compliance verification, and prepare progress reports to OMB and the Congress. |
