Presidio Technology Capital Provides Leasing and Financing Customers Access to Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Funding

     Move enables customers seeking new IT infrastructure to thrive by

                    supporting minority-owned businesses



    NORCROSS, Ga., Aug. 14 /EMWNews/ -- Presidio Technology

Capital, the financial solutions subsidiary of Presidio, Inc., has

announced that it now provides customers the option of leasing with a

Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) funding source. Presidio Technology

Capital will offer the MBE funding through a relationship with Specie

Capital of Johnston, Iowa. The nationally approved MBE designation helps

government, educational and healthcare organizations, as well as

corporations, to identify minority businesses that can help them meet their

charters to support such diverse businesses.



    "We are pleased to offer our customers this alternative when they seek

financing for their IT and communications infrastructures," said Bob

Necessary, President of Presidio Technology Capital. "Offering funding

through Specie Capital demonstrates that we support minority-owned

enterprises, a must in today's diverse business environments."



    According to Desmund Adams, President of Specie Capital, each company

brings its own strengths to the relationship. "Specie Capital is excited

for the opportunity to work with Presidio Technology Capital. Presidio

Technology Capital is a recognized leader in technology financing. They are

a solid company that understands the importance of diversity. Their

commitment to supporting diversity in their community and with their

customers will allow our relationship to grow."



    Presidio Technology Capital focuses exclusively on information

technology leasing and financing, and has deep domain expertise and

understanding of technology lifecycles. It offers midsize to large

enterprises the advantages inherent in leasing network equipment and

associated services, and in financing solutions encompassing IT

infrastructure and managed outsourcing, both of which are offered by

Presidio Networked Solutions.



    Many large companies have internal supplier diversity initiatives as a

part of their corporate governance. These initiatives are often tied to

annual expenditure percentages. In addition, corporations, healthcare firms

and universities are often mandated to implement diversity initiatives as

part of their government contracts. However, many of these organizations

report challenges in meeting these goals. Presidio Technology Capital's new

offering provides an immediate and significant means to impact diversity

spending goals.



    Firms who attain MBE certification must pass a rigorous approval

process and undergo an investigation by MBE agents, which examines a

company's operations, management and finances. Firms must also demonstrate

proof of past contracts, as evidence of expertise, strong business

operations and effective management decisions.
