The Euro is an interesting example of an important kind of project, which can be termed a 'mass update project.' The Euro, like the Year 2000, requires updates to thousands of applications at the same time. Patrick O'Beirne's new book is of great interest to the software and project management communities. It discusses many aspects of the Euro, and covers both the business and technical implications. U.S. managers and executives will find the book very useful as a primer on the Euro itself, and as a guide to how to handle mass update projects.

Format:Taschenbuch
Replacing European currencies with the euro has been a political decision, but euroland businesses now face their own decision-making process to ensure pricing, accounting and information systems are euro-compliant by 2002. Patrick O'Beirne's encyclopaedic new book raises the questions businesses need to ask themselves and offers solutions in terms of practical business strategies. Not only is this an essential guide for the information systems specialist introducing company-wide data, and the
accountant tackling problems of conversion, it will help other businesses disciplines recognise the impact euro conversion will have on their activities too.
