Brad Davis
Brad Davis is the founder, main principle, president & CEO of Document Management Incorporated. Document Management Incorporated is a business process outsourcing company that specializes in document and information management, as well as transaction and regulatory compliance processing. Following his entrepreneurial drive, Brad resigned from the Lexis-Nexis corporation, relocated his family back to Springfield, IL and boot strap financed the company.
Since 2002 DMI serves as a strategic partner with its customers. Currently, it provides back office services for one key client’s motor vehicle title management and transaction compliance processing offering, as well as its corporate minute book management product line. These services directly support the largest lenders, law firms and corporations in the country.
Brad began his professional experience during his last year of undergraduate school. While obtaining his B.A. in Management from the University of Illinois at Springfield, he served in a temporary clerical support role for the Lexis-Nexis organization. He was offered a human resources paid internship the last semester of his studies and offered a full-time human resources administrative position prior to graduating.
Brad achieved a progressive professional work experience during his tenure with Lexis-Nexis Document Solutions. His role began in human resources, but soon expanded to include managing the facilities and switchboard departments, as well as other administrative functions of the $65 million organization. Brad successfully facilitated several company-wide initiative teams including: the reorganization of the processing department from a functional segregation to a multi-functional team structure; the development and implementation of the organization’s first disaster recovery and business resumption plan; sizing and bid solicitation of a second $6.5 million facility; and the development & implementation of a shared flex team initiative to shift processing staff across functional departments as required to manage volume fluctuations experienced by each business line.
During his tenure with Lexis-Nexis Document Solutions Brad experienced and successfully managed his functions through a growth of revenues of $30 million, a divestiture from Mead Corporation to Reed-Elsevier, 2 major staff reductions, 5 leadership changes, several corporate reorganizations, 2 major branding initiatives and actively served on several corporate wide initiative teams. Brad continued his graduate studies earning 19 credit hours prior to his transfer and relocation to the Washington D.C. area.
While managing its integration into LNDS during a corporate reorganization, Brad was offered the opportunity to lead ReedFax, an intellectual property service company. ReedFax provides electronic versions of patent and trademark documents, as well as onsite services at the United States Patent and Trademark Office directly to legal and research organizations. During his tenure he led the organization to its greatest levels of success.  Prior to joining the organization ReedFax experienced a 5% decline in revenues with a respectable 21.2% contribution rate the previous year.  In 2001 it experienced 16% organic growth in revenues, 30% growth of its average monthly users and increased its contribution margin to 27.7%. Departing the organization in 2002 ReedFax was on pace to grow its revenues another 21% over 2001 for total revenue growth of 37% during his tenure.
Throughout his career Brad has proven he can successfully lead and manage through challenges and change. During his 2 year tenure with ReedFax alone, the organization experienced 5 reporting and 3 organizational changes. This level of instability posed great challenges in securing needed investment and resource support to significantly grow the business. However, by developing and communicating a clear strategy, focusing on issues that could directly be controlled and leveraging informal channels for needed resources and support, he was able to successfully strengthen the organization and lead it to its greatest levels of performance in its 10 year history.
