    DETROIT, MI, March 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Information Systems Resources (ISR), a minority-owned Information Technology sales, service, security and recycling and remarketing company, has received the prestigious "Diverse Supplier Achievement Award - Minority Business Enterprise" from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM). The award honors women and minority-owned businesses who supply products and services to the Blues as well as employee efforts to diversify business procurement.

ISR's achievements were highlighted their annual award event held at BCBSM's downtown Detroit headquarters. ISR was one of only 11 companies or individuals that were recognized for their accomplishments. Luther Elliott, ISR President and CEO, accepted the award. "It is a tremendous honor to be recognized by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan as a diversity supplier for our efforts in Information Technology," said Elliott. "We are proud to be a diversity supplier helping clients such as BCBSM and others deliver quality services to their customers.
As we expand our capabilities nationally, we will continue our commitment to excellence while working to deliver the products and services our clients want and value."

The Diverse Supplier Achievement Award is presented to a diverse supplier who demonstrates excellent customer loyalty through the delivery of products or services; proactively keeps BCBSM informed of all industry developments; supports cost savings initiatives, and contributes to BCBSM's corporate goals and objectives.

"Our Diverse Supplier Achievement Award winner exemplifies the passion and innovativeness of entrepreneurship, which is the key to our economic advantage," said Donna Strickland, of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's Supplier Diversity Program. This marks the fifth year that BCBSM has honored world-class suppliers for extraordinary contributions that directly impact the Blues customer satisfaction. ISR received the award because they not only achieve the highest levels of quality, cost and delivery, but recognize the diverse cultures, values, and ideas of the individuals they employ.

"BCBSM initially reached out to ISR to help locate reconditioned HP NC 6400 Laptops with the current chip set that is in their standard configuration," said Strickland. "The ISR team was able to guarantee the chip set and configuration recommended by BCBSM's Engineering Team. After testing the configuration, we found it was a perfect match for the BCBSM system."
