Houston Chronicle Article

Sonia Clayton, Virtual Intelligence Providers’ (VIP) CEO, was selected as "The Hispanic Female Entrepreneur of the Year". This is one of 3 distinctions with which she has been awarded lately. The two others are Fox 26’s Hispanic Heritage Month TV segment, aired through September/October, where her story has been featured on a daily commercial, and Continental Airlines’ choosing her to be their keynote speaker and co-host, along with Mr. Larry Kellner, Continental’s Chairman and CEO, at the recently held Hispanic Heritage Fair. On her October 1st address, Sonia said: “I think of America as a very generous nation and I am thankful for the brilliance of our founding fathers who reflected deeply on the nature of government and humanity and who debated the pros and cons of various options before writing our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Together they produced a document that is much better than the product of one mind alone. Together they dreamed of a world in which the Rights of Man were widely respected including the rights of foreigners and the Latino Population in America. There is no other constitution in the world ever written with those principles. This very same principle is what gave me the right to be here and be successful in America and for that and I deeply thankful.

As we celebrate our Latino Heritage Day, here at Continental Airlines…We must be proud of our country for we are a unique nation. We're a strong and blessed country and we must keep it that way. But our strength isn't really found in our military, or our pocketbooks. The true strength of America is found in the character and values of the American people, in the creativity of our people, in the diversity of our people and in the compassion and values of our people. I want to thank you all for coming to celebrate these gifts today. God bless America!

“Sonia and VIP’s story are our constant inspiration. She represents the hard working spirit of the Latin Immigrants in America. In her work we take pride, for she is one that emerged through the ranks to where she is today.” – VIP Employees.

HOUSTON – Virtual Intelligence Providers, L.L.C. (www.vip-global.com) and the North Harris College Center for Corporate Training and Development (CCTD) have agreed on the establishment of a partnership intended for VIP to support or enhance the CCTD’s Corporate Training offer. Areas to be included as part of this agreement are primarily the same comprising VIP’s expertise, namely Enterprise Resource Planning System’s Education/Training, and ancillary areas such as Organizational Change Management, Organizational Development and Technical or Human Resources Training Support. The North Harris College Center for Corporate Training and Development, just as VIP does since the time of its business inception, has traditionally supported the educational initiatives of both corporations and government entities in Houston’s north side.

VIP’s strength as a Business Technology Services Provider resides in the specialized knowledge, maturity and poise of professionals in its force. Although the constant and dizzying push of science and technology is an intimidating fact of life in business, or any other human endeavor, the reality of it is that organizations can successfully overcome this hurdle by investing in up-to-date training and methodologies that will leverage their acquisitions of cutting–edge equipment and systems.

We at *VIP welcome this latest partnership as a hallmark of our continuous commitment to quality, expediency and simplicity. This has been made possible by our assertive, forward-looking, management, more specifically in the person of our CEO Sonia Clayton. Clayton’s savvy in the Technology Services arena, plus her personable and rather positive approach towards business development, have positioned VIP as a small though rather reliable and comprehensive provider of Business Technology services, whether in a direct or indirect capacity.
VIP’s service offer includes ERP Project Management, Implementation Support, Change Communications Advisory, Business Technology Training, Performance Improvement and e-Learning Services.

*VIP is certified as a minority, women-owned/operated, equal employment organization qualified to provide services at various levels, both for private and governmental organizations. Also, the firm is registered with the Houston Minority Business Council, and with the Better Business Bureau.
