The most important part of any voice or data network is the cabling infrastructure. Statistics show that 70% to 80% of all system performance problems and failures are a result of poor installation practices. Exceeding pulling tension standards and twisting the cable can significantly reduce the performance of your voice and data networks. That's why DVS adheres to EIA/TIA 568A and 569 commercial building and structured cabling standards to insure system performance.

DVS is certified by the Small Business Administration in the following areas:

• 8a
• Service Disabled Veteran - owned
• Native American - owned
• Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB)
• HUBZone

8a certification is obtained through a lengthy application process and the company must meet the following criteria:

The applicant firm

• must be a small business,
• must be unconditionally owned and controlled by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals who are of good character and citizens of the United States, and
• must demonstrate potential for success.

The SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program is an initiative that helps small disadvantaged businesses compete in the American economy. Program participation is divided into two stages. The developmental stage is designed to help 8(a) certified firms overcome their economic disadvantage by providing personalized business assistance in expanding their business and fostering meaningful business relationships.

The Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Certification Program is designed to treat small companies equitably and empower them to pursue business in both the private and public sector contract arena.

The HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program is designed to stimulate economic development and create jobs in urban and rural communities. The program provides contracting opportunities to small businesses located in, and hiring employees from, Historically Underutilized Business Zones.
