Long Beach, Calif. - Nien-Ling Wacker, CEO and founder of Laserfiche, a leading provider of document management solutions, has been named the 2005 national Luminary of the Year.

The Luminary honors working mothers who have achieved greatness in their field. Given by the The Mom’s In Business Network™, this award is intended to inspire other women who balance both career and motherhood.

The gala event and ceremony was held May 7, 2005, at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas.

In acknowledging the award, Nien-Ling Wacker said, “It is such an honor to be named Luminary of the Year by my peers – other women who have made a difference in the board room and in the home. This distinction comes at a wonderful point in my career. It is a true testament to Laserfiche’s employees, my mentors, friends, and family who provided the support to achieve such an honor.”

Ms. Wacker founded the certified minority business, Compulink Management Center, Inc., in 1974. Her success with the award-winning Laserfiche document management software is the culmination of nearly three decades of work with computer systems, information management and office automation. The company has more than 22,000 clients worldwide.

In 2001, Ms. Wacker won the Association for Information and Image Management’s Pioneer Award, which described her as a “visionary” and cited Laserfiche as “consistently among the leaders in developing solutions to international challenges.”

Ms. Wacker’s accomplishments have been chronicled in The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times and other major newspapers and industry publications. The Los Angeles Times described her integration of document imaging and full-text retrieval as “a big step closer to the paperless office.

Ms. Wacker was born in China and educated in Hong Kong, Australia and the United States. She is the mother of two sons.
