Independent Information Dealers Association

Founded in 1984, IIMDA is a group of over 30 member-companies throughout the United States and Canada.  IIMDA is the oldest and largest dealer group dedicated to document management and its surrounding scanning, micrographic and data management technologies.  The independent nature of IIMDA members allow them to determine the best solutions for each client’s needs, regardless of the source of the solution.  Locally owned and operated, IIMDA dealers bring an unbiased assessment of technology and services to their clients.

Membership into IIMDA is by invitation only.  When a company is recognized in the industry as superior in its service, management and integrity, it may request admission to IIMDA.  The managing executive staff of IIMDA will process the request and submit it to the membership for a vote.  Once admitted, the company may enjoy the benefits of sharing resources, knowledge and technical skills that would not otherwise be available.  Benefiting all member-dealers in their pursuit of customer satisfaction is the goal of IIMDA.
