Flexible PCB Manufacturer Adopting Best-In-Class Practices

Downers Grove, Illinois – May 20, 2004. Cimnet Systems, Inc., the leading provider of innovative information technology solutions to the global interconnect industry, announces a sale of its Paradigm® S/ERP (specialized enterprise resource planning) software to Toronto based StrataFLEX Corporation.
