ATLANTA, Dec. 11, 2007 – Metasys Technologies, Inc. (MTI), a leading provider of business and technology solutions, received the National “Supplier of the Year” award from the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) at its 35th anniversary Awards Gala.

The award, given to the nation’s top minority-owned business, recognizes MTI’s outstanding achievements in business and its contributions to the community.

“It is a blessing to be acknowledged by our clients, peers and the NMSDC for our services and growth,” said Sandeep Gauba, CEO of MTI. “This award recognizes the strategic services and customer focus we have been providing to leading global companies and the services we procure from our diversity partners.”

MTI provides business process outsourcing, services procurement management, IT consulting and professional staffing solutions to numerous FORTUNE 500 and mid-market companies.

“By providing high quality, creative and innovative solutions, MTI is a valued strategic supplier to The Home Depot,” said Michelle Johnson, director of supplier diversity at The Home Depot. “MTI has demonstrated a deep understanding of our objectives to drive out cost while improving visibility, quality and compliance in our procurement organization. A key differentiator that our management experiences with MTI is the attention to detail, professionalism and value-driven approach of its representatives.”

In conjunction with improving service levels, The Home Depot has realized savings of more than 40 percent by leveraging the unique combination of MTI’s service offerings. In 2006, The Home Depot honored and endorsed MTI as one of its top minority suppliers.

According to Gauba, MTI owes its success to the supplier diversity managers for offering opportunities within their organizations. Gauba further attributes MTI’s accomplishments to its people who have embraced its “high performance and caring” culture.

“MTI has built a strong reputation with UPS, having provided high quality consultants to service us on several IT projects.” said James Mallard, vice president of procurement for UPS. UPS was also recognized at the NMSDC event, winning the prestigious “Corporation of the Year” award.
