Celebrating the collective efforts and
achievements of the greater Datamax family.
- May 2018 -

Dear Datamax Family,

In 1983, I was working at Datamax in St. Louis. That year, the first “cellular mobile phone” was introduced by Motorola, measuring more than a foot long and weighing more than two pounds. Apple released its first personal computer, named Lisa, the first of its kind to feature a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The retail price for Lisa was $9,995.

I don’t have to tell you… technology has changed tremendously in the last 35 years.

Featured Datamax Thinking Blog — Go Vertical, Grow Vertical: 3 Rungs in the Vertical Market Ladder

Author Anthony T. Hinks is quoted as saying “it’s when you’re going vertical that you leave the other players standing.” The game of basketball, an athlete mid-dunk, may immediately come to mind. But these words very much apply to business.

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

Sherry Lee was with Datamax for 23 years before leaving. But while away, she didn’t realize how much she would miss fellow employees and clients she’d built relationships with. So she eventually made it back “home.”
