DMX Standardizes on Stardraw


DMX MUSIC has standardized all system design and documentation on Stardraw. The premier provider of professionally programmed music, imaging and message marketing has begun to roll out Stardraw AV across many of its 26 national offices in the US.

DMX MUSIC carried out extensive research and testing of available products before they opted to standardize on Stardraw. Tim Dorwart, VP of Commercial Division for the Eastern US cited the need for quality over and above other requirements. "After our evaluation process Stardraw came through as the clear winner for us in all categories, but certain areas stood out. The key factor was the quality of the symbols and the fact they all conform to the same standard, and the protection that this affords the database. There is far less likelihood of corrupt data or a virus sneaking into the software than in programs that do not levy some form of qualitative standard. It was also the product that the sales guys felt the most comfortable with in terms of ease of use and the ability to produce professional designs quickly, and that of course is extremely important."

President of Stardraw.com, Randell Green agreed. "We have always stressed the short learning curve as one of the key assets of Stardraw. Most people can be productive within as little as half an hour. Not only does this save an enormous amount of time at the design stage, but the ability to produce professional quality presentations quickly and easily plays a very important role in closing the sale."



New Marketing Director

Rob Robinson
promoted to
Marketing Director

Software provider Stardraw.com is pleased to announce that Rob Robinson has been promoted to the position of marketing director with immediate effect. According to managing director David Snipp, Robinson's appointment was "a natural progression of his  duties, and reinforces an already strong management team at Stardraw.com"

"Rob has been doing a great job over the last year," continued Snipp, "and it was a  logical step to have executive representation of the marketing function at board level.  As well as many years experience in this field, Rob also has comprehensive knowledge of the company, our products and the markets in which we operate, so it gave me great pleasure to be able to offer him the post of marketing director."

"Marketing is a key element in the strategic plans we have for Stardraw.com" adds Robinson "so this is an  entirely appropriate move.  In addition to building on the established successes of our existing design and documentation products, I'll be growing the new business sectors which arise from our introduction of new internet-enabled tools and the custom development services that have already proved so popular.  I also anticipate imminent entry into the software component market so all in all this is a very exciting time, my only concern is that there may not be enough hours in the day."
