ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Feb 29, 2016) - Elemica, the leading Supply Chain Operating Network for the process industries, announces their selection as a Top 10 Innovative Technology Company in Georgia from The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), the state's leading association dedicated to the promotion and economic advancement of Georgia's technology industry. The "Top 10" most innovative technology companies are chosen from among TAG's "Top 40" 2016 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 & CEO of TAG. "We applaud each of these companies for standing out as leaders in Georgia's technology community and look forward to showcasing them at our annual Georgia Technology Summit."

"The competition for Top 10 recognition was so fierce that, for the first time, we had no choice but to select 11 winners!" said Dennis Zakas, a partner and founder of Zakas & Leonard, LLP, CEO of zinc., and chairperson of the Top 40 Selection Committee. "These companies, which represent a number of verticals, demonstrate the strength of Georgia's technology industry. Their innovations will continue to have a significant impact for many years to come."

Elemica, recently honored with three patents for its game changing technology, was selected for its Supply Chain Operating Network which improves message translation, facilitates more reliable interenterprise communications, speeds up partner on-boarding and fosters end-to-end visibility. The network automates processes across procurement, order fulfillment, and logistics -- capturing data along the way. This enables their global industrial manufacturing clients to analyze trends and information across product, demand, and supply networks improving their ability to respond faster and more effectively to real-time market events. Right-sized inventory and improved working capital are just some of the resulting benefits gained by companies connected to the Elemica network.

"Elemica has been laser focused on delivering the outside-in supply chain network, enabling trading partners to more easily conduct commerce with fast, secure connections and deeper business insights," said Rich Katz, CTO of Elemica. "This recognition is a testament to Elemica's ongoing commitment to bringing greater value to clients and their supply chains with process automation and powerful, scalable solutions."

TAG will recognize this prestigious group at the 2016 Georgia Technology Summit (GTS) on March 17, 2016, at the Cobb Galleria Centre.
