In Focus.

Even through a historic winter storm, the Datamax organizational lens remains In Focus. “Focus on the Things that are Productive.” - Datamax Little Blue Book (Philosophy #11)

- March 2021 -

Dear Datamax Family,

When unprecedented events happen like the winter storm we witnessed last month, you really have to focus on the things that matter most – to our customers, to our employees, and to our families.

We received 20 inches of snow in Little Rock during the week-long storm, while Dallas and East Texas similarly got hit with historically low temperatures, heavy snow and ice.

Focus on the Finish.

When Longview technician Chris Hoefer and his daughter finish a race, it’s not just the joy of a journey completed. It’s the consummation of all the joy the journey has brought with it.

At Datamax, we've got even more to rave about.
