About DDS
How DDS is described by our employees: "No bs, no corporate politics, no dress code,
financially-secure company, flexible work schedules, objective-based approach, employees
all over the world, telecommuting is as normal as on-site, love what I do (at least most
days), ... what did you want me to say again?"
DDS is a small company with a close-knit employee group. We offer competitive
salary and benefit packages to smart, loyal, creative thinkers that excel at
problem solving.
DDS collects public record data (e.g., arrest, crash, judicial, etc.) directly
from thousands of governmental agencies. This information fuels a number of
unique services that are utilized nationally by large and small corporations, a
state risk pool, municipalities, educational institutions, hospital systems and
insurance underwriters. Our only publicly marketed service is Envision, a
comprehensive driver improvement platform. However, most of our growth during
the past several years has been driven by a set of predictive underwriting,
fraud prevention and claims management services that were created at the
request of our customers in the automotive and health care industries.
