Dr. Charles Krieger/Krieger Health Solutions

Krieger Health Solutions grew from a family chiropractic practice that was begun in 1959 in NYC by his father Dr. Arthur Krieger. Today they are in Roswell, GA and they provide chiropractic care for children and adults, functional nutrition and detoxification protocols. Dr. Krieger graduated Life Chiropractic School in 1984 and began practice with his father in 1985. Over the years the practice grew to include nutrition and other holistic practices which were incorporated to enhance their chiropractic adjustments which were and remain the core of their practice. Another aspect of their practice has been to help businesses save money by educating employees about health and wellness. It is not commonly known but companies, big and small, lose lots of revenue through lost work time, medication costs and lost production. Krieger Health Solutions can provide businesses with employee workshops on a number of health and safety topics that can help decrease or prevent lost production and prescription costs.

SIMON SAYS, LET’S TALK BUSINESS: John Schweizer with GDP Technologies

John Schweizer/GDP Technologies

With a consistent client commitment for 39 years, GDP Technologies started delivering office automation to its clients in 1977 as Georgia Duplicating Products. Since its inception, GDP has focused on empowering its Georgia workforce with the ability to increase client Gross Domestic Product, their real output, one client at a time. GDP was acquired by Global Imaging Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Xerox Corporation, in 2010 and continues to fulfill its mission of unparalleled customer service.

While the portfolio of offerings has exploded since the acquisition, GDP has continually developed its tenured Georgia workforce and expanded their presence throughout Georgia. The expanded offering led to a re-branding opportunity in 2014, retiring the Georgia Duplicating Products legacy to make way for a more robust organization with a more appropriate name, GDP Technologies. The exclusive GDP 360 Workflow Assessment and associated tool sets allow experienced GDP professionals to carefully evaluate your IT, business processes and document workflow and not only recommend improvements, but document and implement previously elusive efficiencies.

Six years after joining the Global Imaging/Xerox families of companies, all of the GDP decisions are still indigenous to their Georgia roots. GDP boasts the financial security, advanced technology, and sophisticated processes of their parent company and purposely overlays 100% autonomous and local decision-making. Their employee-centric approach towards client satisfaction encourages each employee to use their vast resources and hometown knowledge and act for the benefit of client and community.
