GALILEO UK is to hold a series of free workshops for its agency clients to help them prepare their technology for the millennium.
The global distribution system supplier will take a full-day workshop around the country over the next few weeks which will cover contingency planning and legal and insurance implications.
It will also review issues including the broader implications for business of the millennium bug, planning and running a readiness programme, communicating with suppliers, customers, service providers and staff and checking Information Technology systems and securing product assurances.
Galileo UK’s manager of commercial policy for 2000, Jean Quaife, said: “The workshops will enable our agency clients to meet with a network of people to call on and discuss how to handle the problem.
“They will be able to take away practical ideas on how to tackle the kind of issues they may face in the New Year.”
From September 29 to October 28, the workshop will visit St Helier, London, Bristol, Belfast, Glasgow and Birmingham.
