The Power Grid.

When employees plug into the company’s (and their coworkers’!) knowledge, they light up the customer experience with efficiency and innovation. Ready to “shock” your clients with everything that encompasses Team Datamax? Time to hook up to the Datamax Power Grid.

Dear Datamax Family,

I think it’s important to note the salutation that opens this letter every month. The word “family” is put there very intentionally. From the moment a recruit steps into our office for an interview, we want him or her to feel that family atmosphere.

Fostering a family-like atmosphere rather than operating in isolated silos is crucial for long-term success. When employees and departments function independently, valuable knowledge, skills, and resources are left unused. When we embrace our family-oriented culture, it encourages communication, trust, and support.

Our admin teams are anything but your average admin department. They power through so much more than just traditional job duties, tapping into multiple alternative "energy" sources.  This is certainly the case in The Natural State!

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

Stephen can turn a simple paper jam fix into a Raving Fan experience. That's because he's thorough, he's approachable, and he's downright friendly. As he says, no matter the size of the client, he "treats them all like they're my most important customer."
