Our Beginnings...
DMI was founded in 1961 with the introduction of a simplified, high-quality bookkeeping system for small businesses called Management Controls. From that beginning, our focus has been to create record-keeping systems that importantly impact the day-to-day results of customers.

You will see that the "systems approach" characterizes all of the Data-Rite accounting and business check systems developed during the 1970's and 1980's. These systems remain popular today for small businesses of all types.

The 1990s...                                                       
The systems approach was central to DMI's successful product initiatives in the 1990's. The MediTape product group, which helps medical caregivers maintain patient records, was developed during this period. With thousands of medical facilities using this product, MediTape remains the most efficient, safest way to document critical patient information.

Gift Certificate Central was also developed during the 1990's to help retailers and restaurants have a successful, well-documented gift certificate program. Gift Certificate Central provides gift certificates and related record-keeping and promotion solutions to thousands of customers.

The 21st Century...                                  
In the year 2000 DMI acquired Accu-Rite, one of the largest providers of business checks and forms in the Northeast. Accu-Rite moved its headquarters from Wallingford to Farmington, Connecticut. It's associates, products, and customers are a tremendous addition to the DMI team.

DMI started developing the Visitor Pass 2 system in 2001. It provides facilities with a one-step sign-in process that creates a badge for visitors to wear while simultaneously creating a duplicate record on the sheet underneath. We started selling them to corporate customers, and from there offered them to schools and healthcare facilities.

In 2003, DMI developed the EZ Gift Card as a part of our Gift Certificate Central line of products. This new innovation provides a way for businesses to offer gift cards to their customers without the need for expensive point-of-sale equipment and charges. Since the introduction of the EZ Gift Card, our Gift Certificate Central product line has followed the trend set by MediTape and Visitor Pass 2 in quickly becoming one of DMI's most popular affordable business solutions.
