2. LETTER FROM THE CDP EXECUTIVE
SPONSOR
As the largest African-American
technology firm in the U.S., World Wide
Technology, Inc. (WWT) understands the
commitment needed to ensure diverse
suppliers are included in an overall
procurement strategy.
WWT celebrates 25 years of business and having grown
from a small, disadvantaged business, when we understood
that if given the opportunity we would be able to
demonstrate value and competitive advantage.
Now, as a proud member of FORTUNE’s 100 Best
Companies to Work For® list for four years in a row, we
shape our supplier diversity program, known internally as
our Corporate Development Program (CDP), to provide
support for minority-owned, women-owned and small
businesses, and we strive to ensure these organizations are
given opportunities to showcase their value in support of
our customers.
Our program actively seeks new opportunities for diverse
supplier engagements, launches internal advocacy
campaigns and develops networking events with external
resources to foster the exploration of new diverse suppliers.
WWT’s CDP also attends outreach programs across the
country as part of our commitment to increasing the
sustainability of minority, women and small businesses. We
view the growth of our diversity procurement opportunities
as a top goal each and every year.
For more information about our program, please read
ahead.
Ann Marr
VP, Human Resources & CDP Executive Sponsor
The CDP Vision is to partner
with value added diverse
organizations to provide our
customers with revolutionary
products and services around
the globe while supporting
community outreach initiatives.
The CDP Mission is to help
develop and sustain diverse
businesses, one contract at a
time.

4. SUMMIT WRITE UP
Last fall, WWT hosted the first
Corporate Development Program
(CDP) Supplier Summit for small
business, minority and woman-
owned suppliers.
The summit was a one-day educational forum on WWT’s
go-to-market strategy and also covered how small and
diverse companies can create opportunities to grow and
possibly work with WWT. The day included an overview of
WWT’s capabilities, partner qualifications and requirements,
compliance and financial information. The small businesses
were segmented based on core capabilities and spent one-
on-one time with decision makers of each commodity.
The group also toured WWT’s Advanced Technology Center
(ATC) and Integration Technology Center (ITC). The ATC
is a collaborative ecosystem to design, build, educate,
demonstrate and deploy innovative technology products and
integrated architectural solutions. Using the latest data center,
collaboration, security and networking technology, WWT
engineers design and integrate systems to solve business and
technical challenges
facing large
public and private
organizations.
The guests were
able to interact with
WWT’s engineers
for a briefing on the
ATC’s capabilities.
The ITC offers a
complete array of
configuration and integration services along with a full suite
of advanced logistics solutions enabled by sophisticated
supply chain management infrastructure.
The summit also included a keynote speaker, Kenyatta Wesley,
from the Department of Defense, Office of Small Business
Programs. To conclude the summit, David Steward, Chairman
of WWT and Ann Marr, VP of HR and Executive Sponsor of the
program had a candid conversation about the history of WWT
and Dave’s recipe for success. In addition, Dave and Ann and
took questions from the audience. Several small businesses
are now working on new opportunities stemming from the
event. We hope to have those listed as success stories in next
year’s report!
MBE TOP AWARD
WWT’s Corporate Development
Program received the top award
for MBE to MBE (Minority Business
Enterprise) spend
at the Mid-States
Minority Supplier
Development
Council’s (MMSDC)
annual gala.
The award was in recognition of WWT’s procurement of
services with other MMSDC minority-owned businesses. This
is the first program award for WWT’s Corporate Development
Program.
“When the program started back in 2011, our minority
spend was a little over $5 million. Today, that spend exceeds
$31 million. It was a goal we set and I am proud to say, we
achieved it tenfold,” stated Shay Gillespie, CDP program
manager.
GEORGIA MINORITY SUPPLIER
DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
WWT was invited to be a part
of the Georgia Minority Supplier
Development Council’s (GMSDC)
annual business opportunity expo
in May.
WWT hosted a group of MBEs as part of an hour long
presentation on the history of the company and provided
insights on how to do business with WWT and what a
successful partnership looks
like. The forum highlighted a
few successful MBE suppliers
that have partnered with WWT
to support their rapid growth
during the last ten years.

5. MID-STATES MSDC
“The Future of Supplier Diversity”
was the topic of discussion at the
annual business opportunity fair
hosted by the Mid-States Minority
Supplier Development Council
(MMSDC) in April.
The panel led by
a moderator with
thought leaders in
the areas of supplier
diversity, economic
development and small
business advocacy had
a thought provoking
conversation about
these topics. Shay
Gillespie represented
WWT and offered her knowledge around inclusion and
participation in the supplier diversity world. This two-hour
discussion featured a questions and answers session with the
audience plus one-on-one time with the MBE’s of the council.
TGS SUCCESSFUL MPP
RELATIONSHIP
Last year, we highlighted
Technology Group Solutions (TGS)
as the first official protégé in CDP’s
formal Mentor Protégé Program
(MPP).
This year the CDP is highlighting their successful partnership
with WWT in their federal sector. TGS was awarded a contract
with one of WWT’s largest federal defense customers
resulting in over $1 million in procurement of Cisco products
in 2014.
2014 BEYA
WWT hosted its first of what hopes
to be many more executive forums
at the Black Engineer of the Year
Award (BEYA) Conference.
The theme was “Are You Ready to Expand Your Business?”
The focus was to empower minority business owners
in hopes of helping them grow their network and build
relationships with leading executives in the field of IT. The
panelists included, Andre Gudger, Director of Office of Small
Business Programs, Ron Busby, President of Black Chamber
of Commerce and WWT’s Chairman and co-founder David
Steward. The panelists shared
background information and
experience relevant to small
business contracting. David
Steward also included an
extensive history of WWT and
some things he attributes
to the substantial growth of
the company over the years.
The forum was a complete
success with attendance at
capacity.
SECOND-TIER REPORTING
As WWT continues to grow, the
commitment to growing minority,
woman and small businesses is a
key component
to our growth.
Showcasing and highlighting
how much WWT procures
from those suppliers is a
competitive advantage. More
and more, WWT is providing
spend reports to customers
in both the private and public
sector.
CDP ANNUAL REVIEW | 5

6. SUPPLIER DIVERSITY
The Supplier Diversity component
of our CDP is designed to help
train and integrate qualified and
certified minority suppliers into
the provisioning of products and
services for our commercial and
telecommunications customers.
WWT’s Supplier Diversity is designed to strengthen minority,
woman and disabled veteran-owned businesses and provide
knowledge-sharing opportunities and support. Our goals are
simple:
• Provide direct referrals to our customer-base for non-
competitive service/product offerings
• Mentor relationships aimed at strengthening and enabling
MBE/WBE companies
• Develop collaborative business ventures with WWT
CDP AND THE NMSDC
The CDP works closely with the National Minority Supplier
Development Council (NMSDC) and its affiliate regional
councils located throughout the country to achieve their
diversity goals.
The NMSDC affiliate regional councils located throughout the
country are responsible for certifying businesses owned by
Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American business owners
using guidelines established by the NMSDC.
The NMSDC presented WWT with the National Supplier of the
Year award at a black-tie awards banquet in the fall of 2014.
The National Supplier of the Year award recognizes firms for
their business acumen and excellence in community service.
WWT was nominated by a customer.
In 1998, WWT became a corporate plus member of the
NMSDC. This honor recognizes WWT because of their proven
capacity to handle national contracts for major corporations.
WWT’s home council is the Mid-States Minority Business
Development Council (Mid-States MSDC). CDP is actively
involved in the Mid-States MSDC’s annual business
opportunity and networking events. The CDP attends more
than 75 events hosted by the 24 NMSDC affiliated councils.
These events include sponsoring business conferences,
hosting and sponsoring meetings, volunteering at annual
events and active board participation.
The CDP is also members of the home council’s Minority
Business Enterprise Input Committee (MBEIC). The MBEIC is
comprised of Mid-States MSDC certified minority business
owners representing diverse industry groups. The purpose
and mission of the MBEIC is to work in conjunction with the
Mid-States MSDC and the NMSDC to provide advice and
input regarding the programs operating under the Mid-States
MSDC.
As members of the many regional councils, the CDP is able
to find the best diverse suppliers each of the councils have
to offer. As the CDP works closely with the councils, they are
able to evaluate and retain the top talented diverse firms to
ensure its goal of customer satisfaction is never compromised.

7. SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
As a successful graduate of the
Small Business Administration
(SBA) 8(a) Business Development
Program and the largest African
American-owned technology firm in
the country, WWT has a profound
appreciation for the assistance
provided to small disadvantaged
companies during their formative
and early growth years.
With support from the SBA and mentoring support from
larger companies, WWT is now recognized as one of the
top 100 federal contractors. This experience has encouraged
WWT to offer similar support to small business firms.
WWT realizes its good business as well as good corporate
citizenship. Therefore, the CDP has made the following
specific requirements a part of its goals:
• Participation in Business Opportunity Workshops, Federal
Trade Fairs, Federal Procurement conferences and
meetings
• Ensure WWT subcontracting procurement “packages” are
well-designed to be compact and simplified to encourage
the maximum possible participation of firms on the list
• Ensure small businesses are made aware of subcontracting
opportunities and how to prepare responsive bids to
WWT
• Provide assistance and counsel to small business concerns
regarding subcontracting opportunities and procurement
procedures
• Provide adequate and timely consideration of potential
small business concerns
CDP ANNUAL REVIEW | 7
CDP AND SMALL BUSINESS
WWT has over $1 billion in federal multi-year contracts
which require small business goals. WWT federal team works
closely with the CDP to find the best suppliers to support
these contracts. This includes evaluating their capabilities,
investigating their sustainability and ensuring proper
documentation is completed.
In 2014, WWT procured more than $130 million with small
business partners across the U.S. in support of federal
contracts. WWT is currently doing business with more than
200 small business suppliers.
The CDP works closely with small businesses in partnering
opportunities with specific contract requirements. The
government agencies will submit contracting opportunities
known as set asides. The set asides are small business
specific; however the small business may not have the
infrastructure and financial strength to support these
contracts on their own therefore they look to WWT to assist
in handling these efforts. As a result, in 2014, this partnership
created more than $100 million in revenue.
