The change in the daylight savings time start and end dates will cause computer systems and applications to
display the wrong time (one hour off) in many applications. This can cause missed appointments and
incorrectly logged events, among other things. While it is not likely to cause computer systems to fail, it
can cause disruptions in business. The following is a partial listing of products that will need to be
updated.
