DMI TECHNOLOGY GROUP

In 1986 Desktop Micros (renamed DMi Technology Group) was started as a PC integration company in the home of Doug and Nina Sharp. We ran a small but well connected 4 line bulletin board system that tied to Fidonet interest groups and eventually reached the Internet backbone via modems. Time marched on and Internet mail and connectivity and something called the World Wide Web became popular. Networking was in its infancy and companies like Novell and Artisoft Lantastic ruled the networking scene. Can you say coax ?!?!? Times changed and businesses adapt. We were a Microsoft shop producing clones and fast outgrew being in the home, then our original four person office, then our rented space on Empire St. to finally move into our present location in Normal. Windows was introduced as were upstart systems from IBM and other providers. We built partnerships with Ameritech Data Services and Compaq which evolved into some of the things we do today such as Hewlett Packard servers and systems..
