Over 2000 blue chip companies in 30 countries rely on Message Director at the core of their
messaging strategy.

Message Director is the most reliable business communications package available. It has to be as clients who send up to 3000 messages per day cannot survive otherwise. Many other software companies choose MDS for their application engine knowing the need for reliability.

Message Director was first developed by Colin Brown in 1982 and was known then as Microtelex. Colin, working in conjunction with Paul Cawthorne, developed the system from just single user telex to become multi-user with fax, leased line and email via a modem to Bimcom, Comtext and Multi Message.
The system has had many other names such as Protelex, Messenger and Enhanced Messaging System over the years.
Any customer with these older versions should contact P&G Associates to discuss a possible system upgrade.
P&G estimate that there are now over three thousand installed sites throughout the world.
