Headquartered in Hilton Head, South Carolina, Data Publishing Inc. was established in 1986 by Hargray Communications Group, a local telecommunications services provider located on Hilton Head Island, SC and providing communications services to the “Lowcountry” area of South Carolina. Our original charter was to publish the Hargray Phone Directory, offering a comprehensive suite of professional services including advertising sales of yellow pages, the book’s design, and layout and in-market distribution. The goal was quite simple; to produce a best-in-class book of valuable information focusing on quality, content and customer usability.

As a result of tremendous increases in revenue and continuous quality improvements for the Hargray directory, Data Publishing quickly expanded its business scope and began partnering with other regional, rural telephone companies to publish their traditional phone books. Today, we currently publish twelve directories in four southeastern states - mostly working with rural and independent phones companies, although we publish several directories for private residential, mixed-use communities.

The directory publishing business has seen many changes in the way consumers search for local businesses and service providers. We have adapted by incorporating on-line media such as Internet yellow pages and local search options with tools that are designed for today’s lifestyle. In addition to traditional computer-based technology, we have built our local search sites to work cooperatively with PDA’s and mobile phones like Blackberrys, iPhones and Android phone.
