MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct 18, 2016) - AXON-ID, a leader in development and quality software, is proud to announce that it is changing its corporate name to Askida. The name change is intended to better reflect the distinctive traits such as service quality, performance and trust that have traditionally characterized the organization.
