By Art Pugach, Global Chief Technology Officer, Queue Associates

At Queue Associates, we are proud to carry forward the legacy of a trailblazer whose vision shaped our organization and the future of technology itself. We are honored to announce the 2025 Toni Savage Innovation in Business and Technology Scholarship—a $1,000 award designed to empower the next generation of innovators at the intersection of business and technology.

Honoring a Pioneer

Toni Savage was more than a tech visionary—she was a force of nature. In the early 1980s, she founded TS Systems, becoming one of the first to embrace what would become the Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem. Her foresight, grit, and leadership led to the company’s merger with Queue Associates in the early ’90s, laying the foundation for our global expansion. I had the privilege of learning directly from Toni during my early years at Queue. Her mentorship was transformative. She taught me to approach technology with imagination, to treat customers like partners, and always to be prepared—plan for the worst and hope for the best, she would say with a smile. She had a remarkable gift for identifying talent and nurturing potential, and her spirit continues to inspire how we lead, grow, and innovate.
