Axis says its system, which runs on a Hewlett-Packard Unix server and a network of Windows PCs, provides support for all key aspects of the business from sales, production quality and financial management, to integrated we-based customer service, advanced planning and scheduling, and decision support.

Champlain Cable has used an early version of Axis software since 1989, but says the latest version has new cable-specific enterprise resource planning (ERP) functionality.

The manufacturer will implement the ERP system as well as the Axiom eSuite web-based customer service application and financial reporting and analysis capabilities.
