History

Established in 1983.

After Data Source Media’s fifth year in business we started winning some honors for our growth. For three years in a row we were members of the INC Magazine 500, the fastest growing private companies in the country. We also were named IBM Supplies Dealer of the Year.

Over the years the products have changed. Diskettes and ribbons, once the heart of our business, have faded into the past to be replaced by toners, ink cartridges and high density computer tapes. What hasn’t changed is the company’s reliance on talented, knowledgeable friendly people. For years we treated business like a series of transactional sales. We sold on price and service. We stocked more than others, specialized so we could answer questions and were price competitive so that we could grow volume. The price, service and specialization remain but our sales people have been transitioning to consultative selling to help you save money and run your printing and information technology business more efficiently.

Meet the Business Owner

Mark T.

Business Owner

Thirty years ago I read a want ad in the newspaper offering a part ownership in a computer supply company. I dialed the number and found myself talking with Evan Moffit. We went and looked at the company in which he owned a minority stake. I didn’t like the deal because it was a minority ownership in a company that really didn’t want another partner. I’m not sure exactly why but on the way back from Omaha I said, «Ev, what I’d like is to be your partner.» It wasn’t long before we were working out of the Moffit basement. I figured out how to incorporate a company and write by-​laws. The next tasks were finding a new larger location and getting set up direct with some of the manufacturers. Our original magnetic media manufacturer was Verbatim who said that without proven volume we would have to buy through another dealer. Within a year we were buying direct from Verbatim and the dealer that we had been buying from was buying from us. We found our niche and became the specialists.
