ERP

Press Release Body = According to Thomas R. Cutler, a manufacturing journalist who
profiled Systematix and its selection of Encompix ETO ERP in Canadian Machine Tool
Dealer Magazine, "It seems the only constant in the manufacturing sector is change,
and Systematix has seen major changes in the past two years."

Waterloo, Ontario-based Systematix, a world class designer and manufacturer of
factory automation machinery, including specialty robotic assembly and test systems
for the plastics, electronics, window and door, and automotive industries, has seen
tighter margins and shorter lead times. In the absence of good cost control and
financial reporting, the company began a search for enterprise resource planning
(ERP) software.

"I was pretty much helpless. I decided the highest priority was to put in place
tools that could get us accurate and timely financial information, and we quickly
zeroed in on Encompix," said Richard Neidert, president of Systematix. The firm went
live in June, 2005, and reports having greater data visibility than in the past.
The company also has seen significantly improved accountability. With more timely
financial information, Niedert is able to hold his product managers more accountable
for keeping their bids up-to-date and tracking estimate-to-complete information.
According to Cutler, managing to the bottom line is absolutely critical. "With
margins as thin as they are today, any company that doesn't carefully manage its
resources will not be successful," he said.
