Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) "Top 10" Award, as one of

of Georgia's technology industry.
The “Top 10” most innovative technology companies are chosen from among
TAG’s "Top 40" 2014 list and were chosen based on a number of criteria,
including: degree of innovation; scope and financial impact of
innovation; likelihood of success; and promotion of Georgia's innovative
efforts nationally and internationally.
“The Top 10 Awards are given to an elite group of companies whose
products and solutions are not only changing their respective
industries, they are also putting Georgia on the map as a state where
technology innovation can thrive,” said Tino Mantella, president and CEO
of TAG. “We applaud each of these companies for standing out as leaders
in Georgia’s technology community and being showcased as such at our
annual Georgia Technology Summit.”
NCR was recognized for its innovation in designing and developing its
innovative NCR

consumers to take action instead of waiting. Restaurant patrons can
easily review an order, add to it, tip and pay, and take a survey – all
directly from their smartphone. NCR Mobile Pay transforms the guest
experience while also improving order accuracy, increasing speed of
service and reducing the potential of credit card fraud for restaurant
operators.
“The competition for Top 10 recognition was particularly fierce this
year,” said Dennis Zakas, a partner and founder of Zakas & Leaonard,
LLP, Chair of Group Office Buys, LLC, and chairperson of the Top 40
Selection Committee. “The Top 10 demonstrate the depth and breadth of
Georgia’s technology community. We are pleased to recognize this group
of companies and believe that the community will be just as impressed as
we are by their innovation and impact on Georgia’s technology industry.”
