Commitment to Minority- and Woman-Owned Organizations
Being a minority- and woman-owned company (MBE/WBE), Rose International is aware of the difficulty small minority companies' face in becoming successful in the saturated world of IT consulting. We encourage all minority companies who are not certified Minority, Woman or Disabled to attain certification from either a Minority Business Council or their city, county or state government. To find out more about getting certified, go to www.sba.gov or www.nmsdc.org . Many of Rose International's customer's have their own MBE/WBE/DVBE goals, which may afford our certified suppliers many opportunities that may otherwise be missed.

Rose is able to pass along many opportunities that we receive from our clients. These opportunities include those from Fortune 500 companies, as well as numerous government agencies and smaller firms.
