Axiom Systems Africa was formed in 1997 but its roots stretch a little further back to 1981 when Arnold Auer and Keith Davies formed Polygon Systems in Cape Town to provide computer related business services in the Western Cape and this business grew to cover the entire coastal region and had close ties with Johannesburg based companies then in 1989 Polygon Systems Cape was assimilated by ISM and in 1992 Arnold left ISM to form a new company named Peninsula Computer Services and in 1993 Keith left ISM to form Davies and Esseiva then these two companies amalgamated in 1997 to form the present day Axiom Systems Africa thereby completing the circle and many of the staff have shadowed these mergers and attainments and have up to 30 years of service
