Daycos’ Technology Subject of Magazine Article

Recently, Daycos was asked to submit an article highlighting our use of technology for an edition of The Portal magazine, the journal of the International Association of Movers. The article was recently published in the July/August 2010 copy of The Portal, which focused on technology in the moving industry.

The article offers an look at how technology has been an instrumental part of our company’s success throughout our 31 year history, from our first use of personal computers up to our use of Twitter and Facebook.  Below is the opening of that article:

“After about a day of working there, word got out about my computer. and the file room where I was working became a popular destination for the van lines’ employees,” said John Day, founder of Daycos. ‘They were amazed that I had a computer that small, which could do more than the company’s mainframe computer that took up a whole room.”
