Senator O'Brien
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Sport and Tourism, upon notice, on 21 January 2000:
(1) What was the total cost of work undertaken by the department to ensure that all systems were Year 2000 compliant?
(2) (a) Who were the consultants selected as part of the above work.
(2) (b) What was the cost of each consultant.
(3) Where consultants were engaged were they selected through a tender process.
(4) Have there been any problems with any systems within the department or any agencies since 1 January 2000.
Senator Minchin (Minister for Industry, Science and Resources)
—The Acting Minister for Sport and Tourism has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:
(1) Total Costs - $2,265,000
(2) (a) Computer Power/Interim Technology
Unisys Australia Ltd
Cubic Systems and Services Pty Ltd
(b) Computer Power/Interim Technology $207,000
Unisys Australia Ltd $229,000
Cubic Systems and Services Pty Ltd $282,124
(3) Yes, with the following exception: Cubic Systems and Services Pty Ltd was employed under an existing contract with AGAL. The contract was extended to cover the Y2K Project.
(4) During testing on 1 January 2000, one date related problem was detected in one of the data extraction programs that operates as part of the Sample Manager for Windows suite of programs operating within the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories.
The program failed to extract data from the data base because the year 2000 was not recognised as a date that fell within the selection criteria. The problem was diagnosed and corrected by 12.00PM on 1 January 2000.
