Impact:ECS™, announced today an enterprise software license,
maintenance, and professional services agreement with

Sioux City, Iowa. The agreement allows any business entity
under the Smithfield Foods' umbrella to replace existing
cost and performance measuring systems with the more robust

disassembly and reassembly processes found at Smithfield",

manufacturing processes by placing system management control
