NORCROSS, Ga. -- Peachtree Telecommunications International, LLC (PTI), a world class DBE/WBE certified integrator of communications infrastructure products and services for wireless and fiber optic networks, announced today that it has recently been named as one of the top Women-Owned businesses in the United States by DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading multicultural B2B online portal.
The Div500 is the 5th annual listing of the Nation's top 500 Women-Owned businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $12 million to over $1 billion, the companies listed on the Div500 represent the Nation's top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is small or insignificant.
"Diversity businesses are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with," said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. "It's no longer only about the Fortune 5000. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs and valuable products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders of American business."
"This award is further validation that Peachtree Telecommunications has chosen the right strategy to be successful in a very challenging market environment," said Kay Stewart, owner and CEO of Peachtree Telecommunications. "Part of that strategy has been to remain flexible in order to accommodate changes in the volatile communications industry. For example, as a small company, we have built-in the ability to quickly and efficiently modify our business processes and upgrade our technical expertise in order to stay ahead of the curve, which translates directly into quality service for our customers."
The Div500 is a classification that represents the top 500 diversity-owned (women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Indian and other minority groups) businesses in the U.S., in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services. Large organizational buyers throughout the country that do business with multicultural and women-owned businesses use the list. The Div500 is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.
"The Div500 companies are the heroes of Women-Owned business in America," said Kenton Clarke. "While Fortune magazine lists the best companies for minorities to work for, we list the top businesses owned by minorities. These are the people that have conquered the hurdles and made the sacrifices, building and strengthening their communities, providing jobs and helping to keep the fabric of the U.S. economy together."
The winning companies will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com's 5th Annual Multicultural Business Conference, taking place March 30 - April 2, 2005 at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
