Gerhard Lindenmayer, Information Security Officer

DialAmerica is a telemarketing company. It originated with the establishment of the first-ever call center by the Life Circulation Company in 1957. In 1963, the company developed a sales campaign to support local sports teams and not-for-profit organizations. Time Inc. magazine spun off and sold their telephone subscription unit to Life Circulation Co. in 1976, forming DialAmerica Marketing. Time Inc. had developed a model of magazine sales using the telephone.

Since 1976, the company has expanded with services extending to areas including banking (GE Capital Bank, U.S. Bank, Fifth Third Bank, etc.) and internet services (including America Online and Compuserve). DialAmerica also extends services for over 300 magazine publications,{{cite web
