ICG Commerce Executive Honored by Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine As Top Sourcing Thought Leader

Keith Hausmann Selected as ‘Pro to Know’ in Supply & Demand Chain Management, Scheduled to Present at Leading Industry Conference in April

PHILADELPHIA - Tuesday, March 16, 2004 - Leading procurement services provider ICG Commerce today announced 
that Keith Hausmann, vice president of sourcing and category management, has been recognized as a "2004 Provider Pro 
to Know" by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine (formerly iSource Business). As further testament to his role as 
a thought leader in the industry, Hausmann also is set to serve as a speaker at the upcoming 89th Annual Institute of 
Supply Management (ISM) national conference.

According to the publication, the Supply & Demand Chain Executive  "Pros to Know" issue recognizes individuals 
who "demonstrate outstanding thought leadership in the supply chain industry, influencing the way companies do 
business". Supply & Demand Chain Executive's editorial team and advisory board developed the list after evaluating 
hundreds of nominations. Solution providers were chosen based on their ability to equip supply chain management 
professionals with the proper tools and services they need to improve the efficiency of their supply and demand chains. 
Hausmann is ICG Commerce's second "Pro to Know," following Senior Vice President David Clary's recognition in 
2003.

A 14-year veteran in the supply chain industry, Hausmann has helped develop ICG Commerce's integrated 
procurement services program that includes sourcing, savings implementation, purchase-to-pay automation and 
ongoing category management – the cornerstone of the company's rapidly growing success. In addition, Hausmann has 
been instrumental in evolving ICG Commerce from the procurement consulting firm it originated as in the early 1990s, 
to the full technology-enabled procurement and outsourcing services provider it has become today.

"I'm honored to be named a Supply & Demand Chain Executive 'Pro to Know'," Hausmann said. "Procurement and 
category specific knowledge is a fundamental element of ICG Commerce's services. I view this recognition as a tribute 
to the breadth and depth of expertise that exists throughout the entire company." 

This April, at the ISM national conference, Hausmann will discuss successful sourcing strategies and approaches. In his 
presentation, "One Sourcing Strategy Does Not Fit All", he will educate attendees on how categories with different 
supply base characteristics, diverse levels of strategic importance and varying degrees of customization are best 
addressed with various sourcing approaches. Drawing on examples from his work with over 50 Fortune 500 companies, 
Hausmann will outline the primary factors that companies need to consider when determining which sourcing strategy 
is best suited for maximum results.
