German term or phrase: wird bereitgestellt
Mit der Einführung von W2K *wird* auf allen Rechnern Office 2000 *bereitgestellt*.
Da die Umstellung der vorhandenen Rechner schrittweise erfolgt....

It goes on later to say that there are some Office 2000 users already in operation, but some Office 97 users still exist.

Because of this I hesitate to use the passive "With the introduction of W2K, Office 2000 *IS PROVIDED* on all computers. (or something to that effect). Should I say "Office 2000 will be made available on all computers"??? Any ideas?!

Explanation:
"With the implementation/introduction of W2K all computers will be provided with Office 2000."

OR [better]

"During the implementation/introduction of W2K Office 2000 will be installed on all computers." (this is not as literal but sounds better)

... and if I would have read your question properly I would not have to write this now ...

Anyway - my second proposal should solve your \"problem\" ...
