Y2K Experts Respond to the Needs of Business with NetPlan-2000SM: A Free Y2K Contingency Planning Tool

ATLANTA, GA - July 12, 1999 -- 4Square Enterprises' Year 2000 experts have spent years in the trenches on Y2K programs, working through supply-chain relationships and measuring the readiness of America's top companies. The experience was eye opening: many organizations and businesses throughout the world are behind, or have not even started on their Y2K projects. At this point, even if corrections to internal systems are completed before January 1, company owners still must prepare their businesses for possible interruptions from supply-chain shortages. The best way to respond to this challenge is through development of company-specific contingency plans.

Where do businesses turn for help with contingency plans today? If you use the Internet, you'll find countless web sites offering to sell you "how to" books, "do-it-yourself kits," expensive proprietary software packages and/or on-site consulting services to meet your contingency planning needs. Wouldn't it be better if you could find a website that walks you through the whole process from start to finish with a proven Y2K planning process? A site with a continuously expanding library of contingency plans available to be copied and modified to fit your needs? A site that does not require specialized and costly software or consultants? Isn't there a site that helps businesses, 24 hours a day, for free?

NetPlan-2000.com is that site: NetPlan-2000SM is the tool. Quick and easy to use, NetPlan-2000SM offers a library of existing plans written by Y2K professionals and a planning process that has been used by major Fortune 500 companies since 1996. As a NetPlan-2000SM user you can review and copy existing plans from the Y2K contingency plan library or define a new problem specific to your business. Plans can be easily modified or developed from scratch using the online tutorial. With NetPlan-2000SM, businesses can quickly and painlessly build their own contingency plan library without reinventing the wheel.

According to the 4Square partners, NetPlan-2000SM offers much more. "Ultimately, our goal is to create a gathering place for businesses dealing with Y2K -- a community

where problems can be discussed and relationships strengthened to reduce risk." With features like Online Chat and Message Boards, Risk Surveys and Assessments, NetPlan-2000SM creates a sense of community where business owners like you help themselves and others prepare for potential Y2K business interruptions.
