Perforated Paper Online

Perforated Paper Online is a division of Myriad Data Corporation, a provider of perforated paper products as well as a software company specializing in the design, development and sale of print and imaging software.

We manufacture perforated paper products in support of our software products, all of which are designed to print onto our unique paper formats such as raffle tickets, door hangers, prayer cards, bookmarks, wallet calendars and more.

We have been a member of Hewlett Packard's Peripherals Developer Group since 1987 and the Hewlett Packard Print and Imaging Group since 1998.

Our Start
Our first major experience in product development was in the early 1980's when Michael Scharf, our founder, designed a corporate bond arbitrage and retrieval system for Standard & Poor's Corporation, New York. The product, known as "F.I.R.S.T." (an acronym for Fixed Income Research Software Technology) was sold to financial institutions throughout the United States and Canada. Subsequently, we developed a database entry and error trapping system that was used by major institutions and securities firms in the maintenance of their securities portfolios.

Niche Marketing
While still maintaining contact with the financial community, we decided to design software for specific industries in what is often referred to as "vertical" or "niche" markets. That is, businesses with needs too specific to be satisfied by general, off-the-shelf software. This was also during a time when, comparatively speaking, very little commercial software was available. In addition to financially oriented products, we chose to enter the funeral service and real estate industries.
