ATLANTA, Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Tatum, a Randstad company and leading professional and interim services firm offering hands-on strategic, financial and technology solutions that measurably improve business performance, today announced that Debbie Rieger, interim CIO for Tatum client Alameda Alliance for Health, has been named by IDG's Computerworld as a 2016 Premier 100 Technology Leaders honoree. This year's Premier 100 spotlights 100 talented IT professionals and business leaders for their exceptional leadership and innovative approaches to solving business challenges through technology.

Throughout her career, Rieger has led IT operations for many large-scale companies, introducing the processes, plans and solutions to deliver successful and sustainable results.  As a Tatum partner on engagement with Alameda, she now provides the critical input and direction to optimize the organization's IT strategies and ensure an effective roadmap for the future.

Upon stepping into the interim CIO role with Alameda, Rieger immediately assembled a team of IT professionals who could deliver on organizational needs. Leveraging best practices and industry standards, she has been crucial in updating Alameda's network security while managing compliance. Over the past year, she has improved order for IT operations and introduced new processes and procedures to drive efficiencies. Through her leadership, the organization is able to better support the needs of 254,000 low-income families who rely on Alameda for their healthcare.

"Debbie was instrumental in the planning and implementation of the new claims system, ICD-10, upgrading the core infrastructure, and meeting state and federal compliance regulations," said Scott Coffin, CEO of Alameda. "Her executive and team leadership skills have led to the improvement of outcomes at the Alliance, and she has developed a strategic roadmap for the organization to support our future growth and expansion."

Rieger will be honored at The Premier 100 awards ceremony at the AGENDA16 Conference held March 21 - 23, 2016, at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort in Amelia Island, Florida.  

"An effective IT team is often the lifeblood of any organization; my goal is to develop the strategies that help organizations adopt the technology and processes that lead to continued improvement," said Rieger. "I am proud to be a member of Tatum's distinguished CIO partner network, and I am honored to be named among Computerworld's prestigious list of technology leaders."

"The Premier 100 awards program showcases the strategic thinking of an elite group of IT leaders who are using technology to digitally transform their organizations," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "These dedicated executives are creating nimble IT organizations to respond quickly to today's business needs, and to the influx of technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, social media, mobile and wearables. They are actively recruiting talented IT pros for their departments and grooming them to take on new roles. They're also constantly adjusting their risk management strategies to align with the evolving security landscape.

"These 100 men and women are working hand in hand with their business colleagues to give their organizations a competitive edge, while giving their employees a place to grow their careers. We're pleased to recognize their leadership and honor their achievements."
