Y2K NON-IT Assistant Sponsored by Conversant Business Technologies. "Today, in many firms more than half of all computer processing is outside the Information Systems departments. Non-IT equipment is referred to by a variety of labels: embedded chip, embedded systems, embedded processors, embedded computer systems, and embedded date systems. The key operative in these labels is "embedded". Billions of microprocessors have been subtly introduced into our businesses and homes over the past 30 years. Embedded systems consist of computers or microprocessors that run specialized software to control the operation of machinery, equipment, or processes. Embedded systems range from a small piece of equipment to a large integrated system."
