From the Computerworld article:

...That led Dollar Bank to repeatedly go back to vendors whose software continued to contain millennium bugs and demand that the problems be resolved.

"It's not an issue anymore," Nader said. "We applied hammer-type pressure on the vendors to fix this, and it's taken care of now."

To paraphrase Abraham Maslow: "When the only tool you own is a hammer, every vendor begins to resemble a nail."
