Year 2000 Compatibility

As we approach the end of this millennium, many users of data analysis software have discovered that their programs do not support dates with a year designation that starts with any other digits but "19." Thus, effectively, that software is incompatible with the dates that will soon become a reality (and even now need to be used in modeling, forecasting, etc.). STATISTICA (see University site licenses) is one of very few programs that is not only "year-2000 compatible" but, also so-called, "year-2000-friendly" by offering flexible options to customize the operation of the program (e.g., the interpretation of ambiguous date designations, such as 1/1/20, where 20 could mean 1920 or 2020), to meet different specific needs of the data analysts.
