DMD has a history of being great at pinpointing unique IT challenges, and simply solving them.
Click here to read the Business Focus article, "DMD Named 2010 Overall Small Business"DMD Data Systems provides information technology sales and services throughout Kentucky and in some nearby states. The company has earned Premier Partner status with IBM and distributes Oracle products. Customers include the University of Louisville, Kentucky Lottery, public school districts throughout the state, Department of Juvenile Justice, Commonwealth Office of Technology, Office of Secretary of State and many others.
DMD Data Systems’s most outstanding qualities can be summarized into four categories: exceptional revenue growth; service excellence; an innovative, employee-friendly business model; and its corporate social responsibility practices.
Exceptional Revenue Growth: DMD has grown revenues from $245,000 in 1996 to $10.4 million in 2009 and $14.3 million in 2010. Most of the growth began after DMD expanded in 2002 from a one-person shop to four, and eventually 16 personnel to date. DMD has added several new partnerships over the last year including CISCO, Rimini Street, the KY Center for Rural Development, Dell and Samsung to name a few. The company has made the Inc. 5000 list (www.inc5000.com) of fastest growing private companies three times, and the CRN (Computer Reseller News) Fast Growth 100 (www.crn.com) three times, which annually lists the nation’s fastest growing private and technology companies respectively. DMD was also most recently awarded the Overall Small Business of the Year by Commerce Lexington, the Kentucky Small Business Development Center Pacesetter Award, and president Dave Sevigny was awarded the KY Small Business Person of the Year by the Small Business Administration.
Service Excellence: DMD Data System’s policy is to work through customers’ concerns to achieve mutual satisfaction. The company gives sales executives the authority and support they need to accomplish this. In its 15-year history, DMD Data Systems has never lost a client due to a problem or failure of service, has had no known complaints filed against it for unethical behavior through the BBB and no lawsuits filed against it for customer claims. In fact, in a 2010 customer satisfaction survey administered by a third-party resource, customers were overwhelmingly very satisfied with DMD overall, highlighting DMD’s representative’s knowledge and understanding of their business.
DMD’s investment in the multimillion dollar Commonwealth of Kentucky Technology Innovation Center offers a “try before you buy” opportunity not found elsewhere in the Commonwealth as well as providing for client testing, training, education and customized workshops.
An Innovative, Employee-Friendly Business Model: Dave Sevigny believes an entrepreneurial environment that minimizes fixed costs and rewards employees for performance is the key to long-term success. By giving successful employees the option of becoming shareholders, he has created a high-performance team. The company invites employee/shareholders to develop new approaches and services and shares generously in each success. Employees are welcome to set their own schedules and perform work in the hours they choose.
Corporate Social Responsibility Practices: DMD Data Systems contributes at least 5% of its profits annually to charitable programs and encourages employees to volunteer and take leadership roles in the community. DMD also allows employees to choose the organizations the company supports, take time off work, and matches their personal contributions to those groups. Contributions of $1000 or greater have been made annually in recent years to the International Book Project, Eastern KY Reading Camp, March of Dimes, Go Red for Women, Lexington Children's Theatre, and the Red Cross.
