At Microsoft, we see no limits to the potential we all might realize. We believe in creating opportunities for people to succeed—in our products, in our workplace, and among our suppliers. For that reason, Microsoft is committed to building a strong, diverse supplier base. If you would like to become a Microsoft vendor, we encourage you to review the information on this Web site and to register your interest with us.

If you are a woman-owned, minority-owned, or disabled/veteran-owned business, we encourage you to take a closer look at Microsoft.

Together with our suppliers, we are continually innovating to lower the cost of technology—making it accessible to all and showing leadership in supporting the communities in which we work and live.

However, another significant goal of these measures is to ensure that suppliers to Microsoft have the most positive experience possible. No surprises. No hang-ups. No confusion. We appreciate the opportunity to work with your company—and we want you to enjoy and benefit from working with Microsoft.

"Microsoft serves diverse markets globally," says Fernando Hernandez, director of supplier diversity at Microsoft, "and we are convinced that our supplier diversity initiatives are a key competitive advantage, helping us win new business, retain customers, and reinforce the Microsoft brand."
