Company Background
Melissa DATA Corp. was established in 1985 by Raymond Melissa in Orange County, Calif. The company began with a single product based on the practical idea to provide a database of postal ZIP Codes™ on floppy disks for use on a PC. Next was the development of USPS certified mailing software that can save mailers postage and printing costs and help them comply with all USPS regulations for discounted mailings.

Company Structure
Over the past 25 years, a team of programming and technical experts have developed more than 30 products and services, providing the greatest possible value in technology, reliability and cost-effectiveness. The company’s five progressive divisions provide their customers with data hygiene software, databases, developer tools, Web services, list enhancement services, mailing lists, and direct marketing agency services.

The company has developed an international reseller network, a nationally recognized catalog, and a dynamic website that averages over 70,000 unique visitors a day. Melissa DATA was named by DM Review Magazine as a Top 100 Company.
