Meister Software

Perforated Paper Online is a division of Myriad Data Corporation, a provider of perforated paper products as well as a software company specializing in the design, development and sale of print and imaging software.
We manufacture perforated paper products in support of our software products, all of which are designed to print onto our unique paper formats such as raffle tickets, door hangers, prayer cards, bookmarks, wallet calendars and more.

Our first major experience in product development was in the early 1980’s when Michael Scharf, our founder, designed a corporate bond arbitrage and 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 financial institutions 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.

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.

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.)
