Data Management Inc. (DMI) is an American corporation in San Angelo, Texas. It was founded by Jorge Ellis in 1988 and specializes in business software development, particularly for time and labor management. Its flagship product is TimeClock Plus, a computerized time and attendance system.
The company originally developed the "One Number Delivery System" software for food delivery services. This allowed orders to be placed at a call center where a representative would use the software to enter the order and send it to a location nearest to the customer.[1] Through his business with retailers, Ellis discovered a growing need to track time and attendance: "'No one could tell me at any given minute what the [labor] costs were. I decided to develop a software package that would give a 24-hour picture.'"[2]
The system developed by DMI, called TimeClock Plus, was written for companies as small as five employees or as large as 750 and larger.[3] In April 2011, the San Angelo Standard Times reported that about 50,000 companies were using the system including Boeing, Harley Davidson, Ford Motor Company, Dial, and Sara Lee.[4]
The company was listed among the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 in 2004, 2005, and 2006.[5]
