Launch of MPS Multiplier Program℠ for Supplier Diversity 2.0℠

Rochester, NY - July 6, 2010 - D.A. Smith & Associates announce the immediate availability of their MPS Multiplier Program ℠.

The MPS Multiplier Program ℠ transforms traditional supplier diversity programs to Supplier Diversity 2.0 ℠ by significantly increasing utilization of minority professional service firms, without compromising cost and quality of service. Supplier Diversity 2.0 ℠ extends existing corporate commitment to supplier diversity by encompassing a broader spectrum of corporate spending, creating greater accountability within business units, and building more sustainable, value-based relationships with diverse suppliers.

"The MPS Multiplier Program is the first offering from our portfolio of innovative, product-based solutions that address specific customer needs", said Del Smith, President & CEO. "Rather than simply providing a set of services, we’ve leveraged our experience integrating business processes, people and technology to develop solutions that provide immediate value to customers."

Corporate CEOs and supplier diversity officers can assess the value of the MPS Multiplier Program ℠ by asking three qualifying questions:

(1) What is your corporate spend on professional services?

(2) What percentage is with quality, minority professional service firms?

(3) Is this acceptable to you and your corporate stakeholders?
