Flags and fixes year 2000 PC hardware problems and analyses and advises on year 2000 PC software and data problems. Single license product for home users and small businesses.

Greenwich Mean Time was formed in 1996 to investigate the year 2000 problem as it affects PCs and PC networks.

The company's comprehensive research and understanding of the problem led to the development of the Check 2000 suite of year 2000 diagnostic and fixing software in early 1997. Today Check 2000 is established as the standard by which other year 2000 PC products are measured. This is largely due to the maturity of the brand in context of a new industry. Check 2000 is set apart by the work Greenwich Mean Time has done to cater for the in-depth scoping of large enterprise PC year 2000 projects, providing the management methodology necessary to achieve successful survival outcomes.

Headquartered in the UK, Greenwich Mean Time operates as a global company with offices in North America (Washington DC and California), Europe (England, Switzerland and Norway), Africa (Johannesburg) and Asia Pacific (Melbourne, Sydney, Jakarta, Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur).

Karl Feilder, founder and CEO of Greenwich Mean Time, is recognised as the undisputed year 2000 PC authority. He consults to governments worldwide and is the PC Programme Co-ordinator for Action 2000, the British government's year 2000 taskforce. The company has ongoing working relationships with the world's major corporations and vendors such as Microsoft, IBM, Unisys, Digital, DMR/Fujitsu, Compaq and Novell.

Greenwich Mean Time views the year PC 2000 problem as a symptom of uncontrolled technology environments. Thus, the company's long term goals include a wide spectrum of user oriented products for risk assessment and crisis management well beyond the year 2000.

Check 2000 PC is fast, accurate and logical, making it easy to use on standalone home and small business PCs. Greenwich Mean Time's Check 2000 Client Server is designed for PC networks. More information about that product can be found elsewhere on this site.
