Dorian Business Systems, Inc. was founded in 2001 to create the Charms Music Office Assistant (as it was then known). Charms was conceived to fill a need - music teachers needed a better way to manage and organize their libraries, student records, inventory, and parent communication. After a full year of development, Charms was beta tested in the fall of 2001 and released to the public at the Texas Music Educators Association conference in February 2002.

Interest in and adoption of Charms grew and development continued. Today the Charms Office Assistant(renamed in 2009) is recognized nationally as the premiere web-based software for all fine arts teachers, with over 7000 active schools, nearly 15,000 active users, and nearly 800,000 student records.

Dorian developed the Uilforms.com program in 2004 to help the UIL Region Secretaries organize, schedule, and manage their UIL events as well as enter ratings and prepare state reports. Today, every secondary music teacher in Texas either uses the Uilforms.com program or Charms to prepare and submit their contest entries.

Success with the Texas UIL system led to interest from other state organizations. In 2005, Dorian developed the Illinois RNS (Registration, Nomination, Selection) system. Every participating music teacher in Illinois uses this system to register their students for All-District auditions. Each of the nine District Presidents uses this system to record audition results and select members for the All-District performing ensembles. The state administrator uses this system to select students for the All-State Ensembles and process payments from each of the member schools.

We also provide management systems for counties in New York State and contest management systems for the NYSSMA festival process.

Dorian is also the author and host for the VisitTracker Web software - the leading software for managing family visits. Endorsed by the national Parents as Teachers organization!
