Meister Software is a division of Myriad Data Corporation, which is a software development company specializing in the design, development and sale of print and imaging software. Meister Software also manufactures and sells printing supplies such as perforated stock and laminating pouches that support our software. 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 an arbitrage-like, corporate bond database 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 and used by financial institutions in major cities 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. We continued to work with financial institutions in the database management field through 1995.


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.

The Funeral Industry - MemorialMaster, PrayerCard PRO and YahrzeitPrint

Our entrance into the funeral service industry began in 1986 with a funeral management and accounting program known as CaseMaster. One of the modules of CaseMaster was a memorial printing segment that developed into a product of its own and became known as CasePrinter. In time, CasePrinter became our main focus in the funeral industry but, in July 2005, was replaced by MemorialMaster. (CasePrinter is no longer available for sale to new customers, although we continue to service and provide free technical support to all CasePrinter users.)

MemorialMaster is a stand-alone, printing program for all memorial stationery including prayer cards, service folders, acknowledgment cards, memorial bookmarks, personalized calendars, memorial programs, register book pages, post cards, grave markers and funeral home directional signs. Visit www.memorialmaster.com for more information and free downloads.

In January, 2007, the prayer card printing segment of MemorialMaster was extracted and enhanced as a separate stand alone software program now known and offered as PrayerCard PRO. Visit www.prayercardpro.com for more information and free downloads.

In August, 2007, we introduced our new Yahrzeit Calendar printing program called YahrzeitPrint. YahrzeitPrint allows you to print 20 year Yahrzeit calendars displaying both English and Hebrew dates, in numerous formats and designs. Visit www.yahrzeitprint.com for more information and free downloads.


Raffle Tickets and Chinese Auction Cards

We soon discovered that funeral homes wanted a quality program that was capable of printing and numbering raffle tickets. Initially, it was unclear to us why a funeral director would want this kind of software. Now it is very clear. Throughout the United States, it is the local funeral director to whom numerous local non-profit organizations (such as religious and fraternal organizations) go in an effort to get financial help to pay for raffle tickets for fund raising activities. Where providing tickets once required writing a check to a local printer, funeral homes can now provide their own raffle tickets for local organizations using their own computer and printer. This idea evolved into TicketMeister, our stand alone raffle ticket printing program now offered to the general public in its next generation form of TicketMeister PRO. Visit www.meistersoftware.com for more information and free downloads.

Using TicketMeister PRO, anyone can print professional quality raffle tickets. Using our pre-perforated stock, it is now possible to print raffle tickets costing less than a penny apiece! At less than a penny a ticket, TicketMeister PRO has - arguably - evolved into one of the least expensive and most effective advertising tools available for any fund raising group. TicketMeister PRO users can also print reserved theater tickets and the wildly popular Chinese auction cards.


European Distributor

Our European customers can now purchase all of our currently offered software and perforated paper - as well as ticket printing sevices and their wristband line of products - directly from our UK affiliate Ticket-Print. You can visit them at www.ticket-print.co.uk.


Unique Printing Solutions in one Package - PrintMeister

To be introduced in the first quarter of 2008, Printmeister will serve as the premier tool for printing those unique - and sometimes common - items such as perpetual wallet size calendars, door hangers, raffle tickets, bingo cards, bookmarks, tent signs and myriad other products not generally found in one place. Visit www.printmeister.com for more information and free downloads.


Custom Perforating

Myriad Data - through www.customperforating.com - also offers complete paper perforating and die printing services. In addition to perforating all formats unique to our own software products - what we refer to as our "off the shelf items" - we offer no-nonsense quotes for all your perforating jobs.


Third Party Vendors

In addition to designing our own proprietary software, Myriad Data also develops products for third party suppliers and manufacturers. That is, companies contract us to design and develop software to sell their proprietary products. For example, the Gerffert Company, a New York supplier to religious goods stores all over the world, hired us to develop their Gerffert Quik-Print software program. Quik-Print, which Gerffert "package sells" to its customers along with its Bonella line of Holy Cards and Folders, provides their customers with a simple yet elegant tool to print directly onto perforated sheets of cards and folders which display the renowned Italian design artwork on its memorial cards.
