E-COMMERCE TECHNOLOGY FLORIDA
CERTIFIED AS WOMAN-OWNED BUSINESS

E-Commerce Technology Florida, a provider of e-commerce solutions and search engine optimization and internet marketing services, has been certified as a business owned and controlled by a woman by the National Women Business Owners Corporation (NWBOC). The goal of the certification program is to streamline the certification process and increase the ability of women business owners to compete for contacts at a national level.

Certification provides a marketing opportunity for women business enterprises to participate in outreach programs," says Susan Rhein, CEO of E-Commerce Technology Florida. In addition, this program will enable us to develop relationships with larger companies and create opportunities for future partnerships with them and public and private companies."

As a sister organization to the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and the Center for Womens Business Research (CWBR), NWBOC seeks to increase the ability to women business owners to compete for corporate and government contracts," says Janet Harris-Lange, president of NWBOC. At the same time NWBOC also hopes to decrease the number of front operations participating in corporate and government outreach programs."

About NWBOC
NWBOC, a national 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation, was created in response to needs identified by the Procurement Special Interest Group of NAWBO. The study revealed that the public and private sector had not received nor recognized the benefits of contracting with women suppliers. This has prevented purchasers from obtaining the best value in their procurements and it has limited women business owners from penetrating these markets, which has stymied their growth. NWBOC seeks to provide more corporations with the opportunity to better their procurement practices and to women suppliers the opportunity to compete.
