DigiDyne Inc Information

DigiDyne, Mobile-based company focuses on innovative application services. What began as a college student's love for computer games developed into a young man's story of entrepreneurial success. Lee Wallace founded DigiDyne, located in Mobile, in 1996 as an information management solutions company. He first gained experience in computer repair and maintenance while a student at Birmingham-Southern College. With his self-taught computer expertise, and the experience he gained working in the information technology department at Springhill Memorial Hospital, Wallace saw the need to help businesses maintain their information systems. At 22 years of age, he created DigiDyne to fill that need. DigiDyne grew to employ 44 people full-time by 1997. Wallace says he now has about 30 employees. "In mid-2000, we changed our focus completely and decided to reduce our work force," he explains. "We are no longer a network management and hardware maintenance firm. Our focus is on the web-based software products we have created, which requires less labor than network and hardware maintenance. In addition, we also have an Internet service, Yellowhammer." While the company reduced its work force, its annual revenue has continued to increase. DigiDyne has seen an overall annualized increase in revenue of 104 percent since the company began.
