We are upgrading our Consona / Axiom ERP system software to improve revision control, to streamline entry processes and to better manage foreign currencies. Axiom 5.2 is an ERP software platform tailored to the continuous-run processes of the metal wire and cable industry. C&M is currently going through intensive testing of the Axiom 5.2 upgrade prior to going "live" on the Labor Day '08 weekend. After this Axiom upgrade is complete, C&M will install Axiom's E-Suite package, which will allow C&M customers to check their own order status online, shipping details and delivery dates. This self-service tool will provide round-the-clock access to key information for our global customers.
