2007 Daylight Savings Time Advisory!!

As you are probably aware, Daylight Savings Time (DST) is being extended beginning March 11, 2007 and ending November 4, 2007 — which is 3 weeks earlier than usual.  This results in a new DST period that is 4 weeks longer than in previous years.  The earlier onset of DST this year may also impact the operation of some of your IT systems.

With the day soon approaching, Accudata Systems wants to provide you with information that we have collected during our planning process for this upcoming event.  Please refer to the vendor links below.
