About Data Services Inc.
Built in Tucson since 1985 - maintaining title technology in-house, for title professionals nationwide.
Built in Tucson. Trusted Nationwide.
Data Services Inc. (DSI) was founded in Tucson, Arizona, in 1985 with a single mission: maintain the Pima County shared title plant with accuracy and reliability. Nearly four decades later, that commitment to data quality and in-house expertise has grown into a full-spectrum title technology company serving independent title agencies, settlement companies, and real estate law firms nationwide.
Today, we provide title plant software, electronic recording, data services, and managed IT infrastructure - all developed and maintained by our own engineering team in Tucson. We remain family-owned, Arizona-based, and dedicated exclusively to the title industry.
What Sets Us Apart
We build everything in-house. Our engineers write the code. Our data team keys the instruments. Our IT staff manages your servers. When you call DSI, you reach the people who designed your solution - not a help desk on the other side of the country or world.
Why It Matters
- Faster response times - no waiting on third-party vendors to troubleshoot
- Custom solutions built around your workflow, not forced into rigid templates
- Deep title industry knowledge - chain-of-title, recording requirements, and escrow operations
- Data security - your client information never leaves our controlled infrastructure
Four Decades of Title Industry Focus
Since 1985, DSI has specialized exclusively in title and settlement technology. We understand the pressures title professionals face - month-end volume spikes, wire fraud risks, county recorder variations, and underwriter audit requirements. This focus lets us anticipate your needs before you ask: when county recording specifications change, Recording Express is already updated, and when Operating System releases new features, our integration is ready.

Our Commitment to the Title Industry
We Solve Real Problems
Every feature in Alphamax 3 and Recording Express started as a title professional's description of a workflow bottleneck. We don't build technology for technology's sake - we build solutions that eliminate duplicate data entry, cut recording rejections by 60%, and free your staff to focus on complex title issues instead of manual rework.

Expanding to a new office? Our managed IT team handles the infrastructure. Merger or acquisition? We integrate disparate title plants into a single Alphamax system.
We Answer the Phone
When you call DSI between 7 AM and 5 PM MST, a real person answers - not a voicemail system or an overseas call center - with direct access to our engineering, data, and IT teams. Critical issues are escalated immediately, with transparent updates until resolution.
