The Internet or the World Wide Web is an effective interactive and integrated procurement communication tool that companies can use. Through web technology, the company/supplier communication will be enhanced, thus, making more timely deliveries.

Article Abstract:
Computers and software should be reprogrammed to comply with the 2000-year change to avoid date-related application failures. This is true because most computers and software have been programmed to accept only the last two digits of the year. Thus, the year 2000 will be interpreted as 1900.
