It seems (to me) that the city government of Neuhausen upgraded their computer systems to Y2k-compliancy. They have experienced glitches with the new software and as a result, the city council expects to be reimbursed for additional costs to fix it. Note: "EDP" is a computer manufacturer.....

Lack of the EDP system of the municipality

Neuhausen. With the EDP system of the municipality Neuhausen in the passed months different lack occurred. The again procured municipality solution "Larix" emerged as Jahr-2000-tauglich, but other program errors occurred.

The local council gives itself in his report to the inhabitant advice confidently that the lack can be recovered.

The municipality wants to charge for the costs of the addition expenditure of the contractor ALL Public AG. (r.) Source: Schaffhauser Nachrichten [Schaffhauser Messages] archive, Germany
