ScanSource Diversity Partner Program

Changing the industry in a positive way.

The ScanSource Diversity Partner Program (DPP) identifies, learns from, and supports Partner businesses owned by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and contributes to their long-term success.

This program is another avenue to inspire and revolutionize our industry by providing business resources and opportunities not often seen for Sales Partners that are specifically in underrepresented groups.

Assistance and guidance around financial support, marketing, business operations, business networking, and relationship building serve as the foundations of the program.

To cultivate a tightknit community of committed entrepreneurs and to provide the utmost support for all our members, the Diversity Partner Program admits new members on an annual basis. Check out our program at a glance to see if this exciting program is for you.

"The Intelisys Diversity Partner Program is so incredibly important for partners like myself."

“Three core benefits of the DPP that have significantly contributed to my company’s growth have been my dedicated DPP internal Intelisys team, the marketing funds to help grow my business and the facilitation of bridging a strong community with my DPP counterparts to share best practices and to support each other in our growth.”
