Contract negotiations underway with Concert Enterprise Management Systems
The National Minority Technology Council intends to contract out their enterprise systems to the Herndon based Concert EMS. This partnership will be the driving force behind the Council's launch of the joint venture - strategic alliance called NMTC USA. Concert EMS was born from the reality that there was not an integrated software system specifically designed to bidirectionally connect procurement opportunities to minority technology companies. The specific needs of this market require flexibility and trust. NMTC Chairman Karl Cureton explained, " None of the systems evaluated had everything we needed, so we had to partner with companies that could help us create our own system. Concert EMS will eventually be our pipeline to deal flow and new opportunities. I believe we have only scratched the surface as to how we connect to each other and to the markets we serve" . The contract negotiations are underway and will prove to transform the minority technology market as we know it today.
NMTC USA
Strategic Alliance
The NMTC USA Alliance is built on capability and trust. Our network represents the largest Strategic Alliance among Minority Technology companies. This partnership will be the nucleus for our Council Joint Venture initiative. This partner website nmtcusa.com was launched March 1st, 2010. Further site enhancements include an enterprise management system, and back-end connectivity with major buyers.
The National Minority Technology Council has spent over a decade studying the alliance feasibility, objectives and rational, focusing on the major issues and challenges and development of resources strategies for production, technology, and people. As announced in the Chairman&lsquo s message the Council has entered the " Dawn of a New Era ". This decade long initiative may transform minority procurement in the US and abroad.
We are currently analyzing potential partner strengths and weaknesses to better create strategies for accommodating all partners' management styles, preparing appropriate partner selection criteria, understanding a partner's motives for joining the alliance, and addressing resource capacity gaps that may exist for each partner.
