The Ideal People Profile:
Lynn Gaddis, Support Manager, Financial Services Division

As Ideal Software continues to grow, new challenges create the need for continuous additions and changes to our staff. With a focus on superior customer service, innovative product development and world-class performance, staff members are integral to the Ideal Mission of customer satisfaction. The Ideal People Profile provides a glimpse into the lives of our valued staff.

In this issue we are pleased to feature Lynn Gaddis, Support Manager. Lynn has been with Ideal for over six years and has become an integral part of our Support Department, working specifically with the Financial Services Division (FSD).

As part of her primary responsibility, Lynn provides management and supervision to a large contingent of FSG Support Technicians, ensuring performance and maximum customer satisfaction. In addition to supervision, Lynn is active in client communications making certain that support issues are satisfactorily performed and the client is operational.

Like a lot of Ideal staffers, Lynn wears a lot of hats. Because Ideal is in a continuous growth mode, managers and supervisors must “roll with the punches” to ensure that customer service is consistently maintained while internal structures adjust to market demands. Lynn is an integral component of this dynamic as she is constantly working toward higher efficiency and maximum performance.

Lynn comes to Ideal from Comcast, where she was Director of Marketing & Operations for the Primestar South Central Region. While at Comcast, Lynn was an active member of the marketing group, providing supervision of the field sales group and ensuring client satisfaction from active follow-up. In addition, Lynn was integral to the Comcast creative team, coordinating print and electronic media advertising for regional Comcast advertising and marketing efforts.

A native of Meridian, Lynn holds an Associate in Arts from Meridian Community College and has completed extensive coursework at the University of Southern Mississippi and the Mississippi College for Women. With an interest in sports medicine, Lynn has studied extensively at the university level with an emphasis in teaching, coaching and therapeutic recreation.

When Lynn isn’t at Ideal, she enjoys swimming, gardening and a large array of animals including a horse, dogs and associated farm animals including some very friendly cows. In addition, Lynn is a Lay Minister for the United Methodist Church where her talent as a writer and public speaker are integral to the local church. As the first-call Lay Minister, Lynn composes, writes and edits speeches and sermon presentations for her local church and other United Methodist services and events.

Lynn is married with three daughters, one grandson and has a new granddaughter on the way. Next time you call the Ideal Support department, ask for Lynn and say hello. We’re sure that you will find Lynn’s positive outlook, friendly personality and warm humor a key reason why our clients consider the Ideal Support Department “world-class”.
