Douglas R. Williams, vice president and chief information officer of JDR Solutions, was elected to the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association’s Business Council Steering Committee.

Williams will serve a two-year term on the council’s service providers subcommittee, which represents companies like JDR Solutions that provide support services to equipment finance firms.

“I’m honored to have been selected by my peers to serve on the steering committee,” Williams said. “The committee plays an important advisory role to the ELFA.”

Williams and three others founded JDR in 2001. He leads a staff of database administrators and IT professionals and is responsible for JDR’s technology maintenance and data security. Williams has created IT infrastructure, e-commerce websites and international application service provider solutions.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, JDR Solutions offers services ranging from lease portfolio management and database administration to hosting, software and custom web portal development, among others. Its clients include banks, manufacturer captives and independent financial institutions, representing more than $8.2 billion under management.
