Brain. Trust.

It turns out that trust isn’t just a feeling. There’s actual neuroscience behind the tendency to trust (or not trust) someone, technology providers included. We’ll expand on that later, but the point is this: Expertise builds credibility, and credibility influences trust. Welcome to the Datamax Brain Trust, a group of expert advisors and support staff skilled in helping customers navigate the technology maze.

Celebrating the Children's Tumor Foundation's Expertise in Ending NF.

The Stars aligned perfectly for the Dancing With Our Stars Gala in Little Rock last month, with a stellar Salsa performance from President Barry Simon (and a group of Datamax supporters to cheer him on)! The Gala raised nearly $300,000, supporting the Children's Tumor Foundation's mission to end Neurofibromatosis (NF). NF affects more than 125,000 people around the U.S., and events like these enable critical research, awareness, information, and care for those living with the disease.
