VIP Recognized in the Business World Media!!

On Thursday, August 12, 2004 the Daily Court Review (DCR) — Houston’s daily business newspaper since 1889, published an article featuring Virtual Intelligence Providers, LLC titled: “Small Businesses Using Technology To Level Playing Field” by Lisa Ray — Reporter.

The article highlighted VIP’s as a perfect virtual business model that could be the trend that turns small businesses into the David that knocks Goliath corporations off the playing field. During the faltering business climate that followed the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Sonia Clayton - founder and CEO of Houston-based Virtual Intelligence Providers - created her own business model based on the elements of virtual technology.

When the corporation that Clayton worked for downsized in 2001, she and many of her fellow workers lost their jobs. That was the jolt Clayton needed to realize that the business world was changing. She decided to create a new kind of company.

“America got very used to a traditional business model,” Clayton said. “After 9/11 took place the traditional business model wasn’t working.”
