ICG Commerce Awarded For Exceptional, Global Strategic Sourcing For Global Consumer Products Giant

Procurement Services Provider Featured in Global Logistics & Supply Chain Strategies Top 100 for Third Consecutive Year

PHILADELPHIA - Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - Global Logistics & Supply Chain Strategies (GL&SCS) magazine, a 
leading industry periodical for senior-level supply-chain management executives, recently honored the strategic 
sourcing work procurement services provider ICG Commerce has performed for a global consumer products customer. 
The publication singled out the partnership as one of only seven premier case studies as part of this year's GL&SCS 
Top 100, a listing of the supply chain industry's top 100 vendors.

The GL&SCS publication has stated that to make supply chains truly successful, companies need to rely on trusted 
partners. The Top 100 award was created to allow companies to nominate those partners whose day-to-day activities 
genuinely demonstrate the tenants of collaborative supply-chain management. The final listing of the GL&SCS Top 
100 was developed with assistance from more than 20 consultants, industry analysts and users who have broad 
expertise in the solutions available. Those solution providers that made a significant impact on their customer's 
efficiency, customer service and overall supply-chain performance exemplify this year's list of leading-edge supply 
chain vendors. For the third consecutive year, ICG Commerce was nominated by one of its Fortune 100 procurement 
services customers. 

The nomination cited ICG Commerce's unique blend of quality e-sourcing tools, strategic sourcing methodologies and 
excellent knowledge of the diverse categories sourced including third-party containerized ocean transportation, LTL, 
MRO, tin-plated steel and personal computers. The customer also made note of ICG Commerce's exceptional reach, 
with the sourcing process taking place on a global scale involving initiatives and teams in North America, Latin 
America and Asia. 

As a leading procurement service provider, ICG Commerce has earned a reputation for its ability to help companies 
lower costs, achieve spend visibility and improve process efficiencies. ICG Commerce solutions identify savings 
through strategic sourcing solutions, realize savings through comprehensive implementation and transaction 
management and drive continuous improvement through category management.

Overall, ICG Commerce was selected for the GL&SCS Top 100 for its extensive category expertise, sourcing 
capabilities and its ability to achieve adoption within the customer's internal stakeholder community. The nominating 
party explained: "They are pragmatic; they are aggressive; and most important of all, they get their hands dirty. ICG 
Commerce truly functions as part of the team."
