Program overview
We have various solutions to meet our customers' needs.
Diversity One. We've formed strategic alliances with independently owned and operated diverse resellers to help make these businesses more accessible. Customers are able to buy directly from diverse suppliers to achieve their diversity spend requirements.
Diversity Two. We include diverse suppliers in our product and service sourcing, helping these organizations grow while offering our customers a wide selection of high-quality goods. Meaning when a customer has a diversity spend requirement, we work with them to find the right vendors to fulfill their needs.
