BOSTON -- Digital Art Exchange, Inc. (DAX), today announced a four-city road show to launch DAX-IT, a secure service that allows businesses involved with large graphic files to reliably deliver information using a web browser. DAX-IT (secure Information Transfer) was developed through a strategic partnership with Hilgraeve, Inc., which was announced in December, and will be available for DAX clients at the end of February. The DAX-IT road show will kick off in Boston on Thursday, March 15th. The remaining dates are: -- New York City (March 22nd); -- Philadelphia (March 29th); and -- Chicago (April 5th).
