Essentially Cinderella is for Home Users and Small Businesses.
People who do not have enormous resources or specialist data processing skills available.
At one stage a fairly formal series of classifications based on a series of scenarios, was produced.
Cinderella operates between Classes 0 and Class 4. We refer to the others as "Mainstream"
Cinderella status start with Class 2. Anything above Class 4 is mainstream, and not a Cinderella candidate.
Y2K Cinderella Object Classes:
0 is good, 9 is bad.
Class 0 - no date requirements
Class 1 - manageable date problem, existing solutions
Class 2 - uncertainty with some applications
Class 3 - uncertainty and massive volume
Class 4 - All of the above, plus Economic restraints
to mainstream options. Non-standard unique approach needed
Class 5 - System or Application Developers. New Techniques.
Class 6 - "Vanilla" Mainstream Scenario.
Class 7 - Additional problem of Missing Critical Components.
Class 8 - Architectural Migration.
Class 9 - Terminal case. No solution possible.
