IBM will come under close scrutiny as it supplies computer systems for the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan. This is because there were a number of difficulties with the company's computer systems for the Olympic Games in Atlanta, GA. IBM will have to ensure that its hardware and networks can deal with cold, windy and wet conditions, and will have to comply with a non-negotiable start date. The main change to the company's computer systems for the Nagano event is that Info 98, the internal information system, has been re-architectured as an intranet application.
