Section 5: Option 2 Phase 1 Implementation (Logistics) 5.1 Summary Oracle has recognized that HKT needs to focus on Y2000 compliance for its Logistics Information System and thus stay operational beyond 1999.

Surrounding this core package will be a minimum set of custom extensions to support agreed upon functionality gaps not supported by the ap
