Another NGLCC Success Story: Columbia Consulting Group & KPMG
In an increasingly competitive IT services market and with a lackluster economy, IT staffing and consulting companies like Columbia Consulting Group, LLC (CCG) might find it challenging to land deals with corporate clients.
Luckily for CCG, the company's certification as an LGBT business from the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) was just the ticket to connect with the widely respected professional audit, tax and advisory services firm, KPMG.
Double Platinum Reaps the Benefits of Certification
When Double Platinum got its NGLCC certification as an LGBT-owned firm, it was able to bring its innovative style to a whole new level after it won a contract to help IBM break into the European LGBT market.
Relationship Blooms from Certification
Washington, D.C. design firm OmniStudio, helmed by owner Eileen Kessler, won a contract to rebrand NGLCC sponsor Printing Methods, Inc., a contract that would never have happened if it weren't for a chance meeting of committed LGBT and allied business advocates at a regional NGLCC conference.
