“I got a feeling of a strong connection with Deborah on our first one-on-one when I was telling her about the way our Android and Engineering team works. We quickly found a common vision on what worked well and what could be improved. During our time working together Deborah offered a lot of leadership lessons even though I wasn't her direct report. She helped me to grow in the fields I was interested in, such as Data Analytics, Contract Negotiation and Team Motivation. Deborah is always learning, promoting the same culture within the company. Deborah led our Book Club and organized Lunch and Learn sessions. Also, she was the person who always found time to listen to you and help you to find next steps in any project. I'd definitely recommend Deborah as an empathetic leader. She cares about building strong people and teams that get results.”

Innovation Award - Web/Mobile Initiative
Alok Tyagi, VP of Research and Development at Sage
Just in the last 3-4 week this team took the innovation process to a new height. You started from scratch and pulled together two functional web/mobile demos and progressed on other innovation initiative like Sage Advisor. You delivered on these without missing a beat or delaying on other efforts happening in the organization. It just speaks to what a committed and talented team can accomplish in the short time. This Summit will rock and it will be a defining moment as we share our Cloud/Mobile…

Agility Award - Extraordinary Customer Experience
Erik Kaas on behalf of Shari Eckersley, Financial Systems Consultant at ICS
Adding the right ACH functionality in a Product Update is making a big difference with customers. I recently upgraded a client to v4.40 with the new AP ACH functionality. Their bank required that they break their payments into the two files for PPD and CCD type vendors. AP-1063 did not have the ability to do this. With the new ACH functionality the ability was added to designate between PPD and CCD files. They are very happy and excited to have that new functionality and it has made their job…
