Diversity

CDS works diligently to promote diversity in every facet of our business. Through diversified employment and partnerships with fellow Minority/Women Business entities (MWBEs), we have created an environment that thrives on this concept.

We are highly accomplished in the Supplier Diversity world, we possess the necessary certifications, and we are ready work with you on projects requiring a certified and qualified minority/woman-owned firm to secure a contract.

CDS aligns with your Diversity Team, Executives, and Procurement department to establish a smooth working relationship with your Business and Technology divisions. Our goal is to provide added value to your organization through your Diversity Supplier Program with our innovative Information Technology solutions delivered nationally, and in some cases, globally.

“Diversity:  the art of thinking independently together.” – Malcom Forbes

Diversity at Home

After achieving MWBE Certification, CDS has been committed to maximizing its own diversity, partnering with clients nationwide that encourage MWBEs. This has allowed CDS to establish a strong presence, while also increasing revenue. In fact, since opening in 2007, our revenue has grown by 800%.

“Opportunities are abundant for businesses who offer diversity. We are in the market to capitalize on those opportunities and to push our business to the next level,” says Anitha Sakamuri, President & CEO of CDS. “In fact, companies are approaching us to help them put diversity into their business model.”

To embrace complexity is to treasure diversity. To eliminate uncertainties is to limit possibilities. Be ready to walk out of your comfort zone for sustainability.” – Kelvin Chau
