Ryla Gains National Recognition

April 11, 2006

Atlanta, GA - Ryla Teleservices, Inc., a leading provider of customer contact solutions and business process outsourcing, was recently named as one of the top 100 diversity-owned businesses in the United States (Div100) by DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading multicultural internet site.

The Div100 is the 6th annual listing of the Nation's top 100 diversity-owned businesses. The companies listed on the Div100 represent the Nation's top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is small or insignificant. Div100 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with diversity owned companies.

The Impact of Diversity Business
Major corporations wishing to increase market share realize it is no longer just 'the right thing' to do business with diversity owned companies. Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, corporations throughout the country have recognized that buying products and services from diversity owned companies positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.

"Diversity businesses and consumers are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with," said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. "It's no longer only about the Fortune 1000. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders in American business."

"This is the second year in a row that Ryla has been included in the DiversityBusiness.com listing and we are honored to be in the company of some very respected companies," said Mark Wilson, Founder, President and CEO of Ryla.

The Div100
The Div100 is a classification that represents the top 100 diversity-owned (women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Indian and other minority groups) businesses in the U.S., in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services. Large organizational buyers throughout the country that do business with multicultural and women-owned businesses use the list. The Div100 is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.

Ryla and other winning companies were honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com's 6thh Annual Multicultural Business Conference on March 31, 2006 at the MGM Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"The Div100 companies are the heroes of diversity-owned business in America," said Kenton Clarke. "While Fortune magazine lists the best companies for minorities to work for, we list the top businesses owned by minorities. These are the people that have conquered the hurdles and made the sacrifices, building and strengthening their communities, providing jobs and helping to keep the fabric of the U.S. economy together."
