Doswell Productions / PhotoShips

Doswell Productions was formed in 1971 to produce industrial shows, videos & film and events of all kinds. Its clients included IBM, Heublein, Shaklee and many others, and events were produce all over the USA and in other countries.

In the late 1980, Doswell Productions shifted into software development, which grew out of programming for shows, but eventually led to development of business software, including product demo software and order entry validation for complex products.
