Welcome to the heart of summer — and the heart of what makes Datamax feel different. While it's sweltering outside, inside these walls, and right back out there serving clients, there’s always a calming breeze of connection and transparency. The open-door mindset isn’t just a policy — it’s a part of our personality.
Come On In. "Our doors are always open for you." (Little Blue Book, pg. 2)
There’s a certain level of comfort in walking into a place where you feel seen, heard, and valued. The lights are on and the door’s already open.
At Datamax, we don’t just talk about being open. We live it by inviting honest feedback, bold ideas and always taking the best interests of the company at heart. “Always Open:” It’s a mindset we share collectively. That’s our culture.

In his Key Contact Interviews, Justin Huffaker mentions to people that if they ever have questions or need help, "feel free to stop by." Ted Roche, on the eve of his interview for the ASM role, took Justin up on that. The rest, as they say, is history.
As a bonus, hear other examples of how feedback + collaboration abound in the DFW Metroplex!

Hot Springs
If Clay Thomas has one overriding concern here at Datamax, it's simply a deep concern for the customer's well-being. That motivation manifests itself in many ways for a Rock Star technician in Hot Springs... one who appreciates the culture here greatly.
Robert O'Gorman
Dallas/Fort Worth
When Robert O'Gorman came to Datamax, two things struck him: "They do it right," and "They all LIKE each other!" He took that fuel and went full throttle into an inspiring career here. Most recently, he was promoted to Director of Sales in Dallas/Fort Worth.
