ATLANTA (February 16, 2005) – Christine M. Timme, CEO of Atlanta-based FinListics
Solutions, has been nominated by Microsoft for the 2004 Woman of the Year in Technology
Award. Sponsored by the Technology Association of Georgia, the prestigious WOTY award
recognizes a woman who has excelled and contributed to the success of the technology
industry in Georgia. To be eligible for this award, nominees must be currently active
in the technology industry in a business, leadership or scientific role with a
Georgia-based organization.
It’s not unusual that Christine Timme’s focus is on technology. It’s her approach to
technology that sets her apart. “Under the leadership of Timme, FinListics Solutions
has made broad and significant contributions to the community of technology professionals
and vendors,” said Tad Parker, a Microsoft director and client of FinListics. “As a
company with a history of success, FinListics serves as an enabler for the technology
industry. In this capacity, FinListics’ endeavors revolve around a core objective:
aligning technology to business drivers and financial performance.”
FinListics also addresses one of the most important questions asked by executives today,
according to Parker: “How does investment in IT add to the bottom line?” Timme’s company’s
offerings to answer this question demonstrate its innovation and unwavering commitment to
leveraging technology as a powerful enabler of better understanding business issues,
motivating the need for change and showing how investment in technology solves critical
business issues.
Timme’s leadership and use of technology in the manner it has always been intended is
evident in FinListics Solutions’ and CFOEd's customer list – a list that includes some
of the world's most preeminent technology solution providers like Microsoft, IBM and SAS
as well as other global brand names.
According to Parker, “Part of being a good leader is having a clear vision of where things
need to go and working with others to turn that vision into reality. Christine Timme has
not only helped Microsoft understand the here and now, but is working with the
organization to better define how FinListics Solutions sells and engages with its clients
in the future.”
The innovative software and educational services of FinListics Solutions enable sales
professionals to demonstrate a tangible return on investment and effectively communicate
