Press Release Summary = Encompix ERP Software Selected by Prodomax

Press Release Body = According to Bob Steppe, vice president of operations, Prodomax
believes in supporting its customers by continually investing in new technologies
and manufacturing capabilities aimed at reducing costs and ultimately improving each
client's automation system. Striving to reduce delivery time and costs, Steppe
recognized that Prodomax's existing information systems were a limiting factor. "We
suffer from the classic 'islands of information' problems such as duplicate data
entry, errors, late and partial information," he said. "We spend far too much time
chasing and validating data instead of making decisions based on accurate
information."

Located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, Prodomax Automation, Inc., employs over 200
employees and operates from two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities totaling
150,000 square feet.Prodomax provides automated manufacturing solutions for
assembly, welding, machining, laser, and material handling applications. Providing
more than just machines, Prodomax offers total project management, engineering,
manufacturing, installation, equipment start-up, and continuous service for all
manufacturing processes.

To integrate all areas of the business, Prodomax recently purchased a 50-user
Encompix ERP system to replace a series of software packages and homegrown systems.

Steppe explained the reasons why Prodomax selected Encompix: "The Encompix system
seemed to be designed with us in mind. A perfect hand-in-glove fit to match our
operations, such that we won't have to change our business processes to use the
software. Because it is so tailored to the way we do business, there aren't a lot of
the 'bells and whistles' that you find in some of the more generic ERP packages that
ultimately just confuse the user. We want a system that is easy to use and meets our
requirements, and that's what Encompix offers."
