Systems Integrations, a security integration firm headquartered in Mullica Hill, New Jersey, announced its certification as a Disability-Owned Business Enterprise (DOBE) through Disability:IN's Supplier Inclusion program. The certification, granted on April 21, 2026, recognizes the company as a for-profit business at least 51% owned, managed, and controlled by a person with a disability.
David Schulze, President of Systems Integrations, expressed enthusiasm about the designation. "We are thrilled to officially be recognized as a certified DOBE," Schulze said. "Our clients already know the dedication, expertise, and innovative thinking we bring to every project. This certification provides yet another avenue for us to seamlessly align with their supplier diversity goals while continuing to deliver top-tier results."
The certification holds significant implications for both Systems Integrations and its clients. Disability:IN's Supplier Inclusion program links certified DOBEs with organizations seeking to enhance their supply chains. According to Disability:IN, DOBEs employ people with disabilities at six to seven times the rate of non-DOBE peers, and they are recognized nationally by The Billion Dollar Roundtable. This certification allows Systems Integrations to help corporate clients meet supplier diversity objectives while potentially increasing employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Systems Integrations specializes in commercial-grade, cloud-based physical security solutions, including video surveillance and access control for high-security environments. The company operates with a "Cybercentric" approach, integrating cybersecurity principles into physical security systems. "We believe that physical security and cybersecurity are inextricably linked," the company states, ensuring every installed system is hardened as a network endpoint.
The DOBE certification adds to Systems Integrations' credentials, potentially opening doors to new contracts with corporations that prioritize diverse suppliers. As more companies adopt supplier diversity programs, certified businesses like Systems Integrations can gain a competitive edge. The certification also underscores the company's commitment to inclusion, aligning with its mission to deliver innovative solutions while fostering an inclusive workforce. For HR vendors, this trend signals a growing market for diversity-certified suppliers, and they may need to adapt their own procurement and partnership strategies to accommodate such certifications.
Disability:IN, the nonprofit organization behind the certification, is a leading resource for business disability inclusion worldwide. It partners with major companies to drive progress through initiatives and tools that deliver long-term business impact.

For Systems Integrations, the DOBE certification represents more than a label—it is a strategic asset. By aligning with corporate diversity goals, the company can expand its reach while promoting economic inclusion for people with disabilities. As Schulze noted, the certification complements the firm's existing reputation for expertise and innovation, positioning it for continued growth in the security integration market. HR vendors should take note: as companies increasingly prioritize supplier diversity, certifications like DOBE can become key differentiators in winning contracts and fostering inclusive supply chains.
