Morristown, NJ (PRWEB) November 17, 2006 -- Global Consultants, Inc. (GCI) received the Supplier of the Year Award (Class IV) at the NY & NJ Minority Supplier Development Council's Partnership Awards Gala on November 10th at the Marriott Marquis in New York City, NY.
"The Council's status as a pioneer in paving the way for minority businesses in the New York/New Jersey area makes this honor a particularly proud moment for GCI," said Hiten Patel, chairman and chief executive officer of GCI. "Our mission from the start has always been to provide the highest level of services to our clients on a worldwide basis.

As a minority-owned company, GCI was formed with the idea of supporting supplier diversity at all levels: local, state, national, and international. Through its remarkable success and continued community involvement, GCI has been able to consistently spur the growth of supplier diversity.
This growth can be attributed to its client-centric approach and BestShore™ model, a unique proposition in the IT services domain that is tailored to the customers' economic, technology, cultural, and strategic needs. Following a thorough analysis of a host of factors including the nature of the assignment, the customer's key business drivers, and the overall cost-benefit advantages, GCI proposes a delivery approach that is most appropriate for each client. This could be purely onsite, offsite or offshore or a combination, best-of-breed model.
"The Council has been impressed with GCI's very healthy growth through the years, having gone from local, startup status to international success in a very short time," said Lynda Ireland, President, New York & New Jersey Minority Supplier Development Council. "They are a model minority company, showing how prosperity and diversity can work hand in hand."
The Supplier of the Year Awards were presented to exceptional council-certified minority business in a variety of different industries, with revenues ranging from under one million to billions of dollars. Class IV companies have a revenue of over $50 million.
