Procurement Experts to Share Strategies and Best Practices for Gaining Year-over-Year Savings and Measuring Results Effectively

PHILADELPHIA - Monday, May 02, 2005 - Leading procurement services provider ICG Commerce today announced that 
Keith Hausmann, vice president of sourcing and category management, and David Clary, senior vice president of U.S. 
service delivery, will speak at the International Supply Management Conference taking place May 8-11 at the Henry B. 
Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Mr. Hausmann's session, "Beyond Sourcing: How to Drive Additional Total Cost Savings Year After Year," will 
discuss how companies can identify opportunities to improve value in supplier agreements and continue to reduce costs 
on an ongoing basis by engaging in regular market analysis and benchmarking.

As part of this discussion, Mr. Hausmann will review several proven strategies and case study examples that illustrate 
how attendees can become equipped with the forward-looking cost/supply trend information needed to determine the 
value and relevance of pricing in the months ahead and ensure that they achieve the year-over-year cost improvements 
demanded by senior management.

Mr. Clary's session, "Elevating Procurement Within the Enterprise: How to Raise Your Organization's Strategic 
Importance," will outline how attendees can make procurement a strategic priority within their organizations based on 
examples of successes achieved at leading companies.

The discussion will cater to senior-level purchasing professionals who would like a better understanding of how to gain 
broader control over company spend, set optimization priorities, measure results and then reinforce procurement's 
position as a strategic priority by effectively communicating results.

"Keith and I look forward to providing a glimpse into the best practices that have helped many procurement 
professionals achieve cost savings and significantly impact on company performance," said Clary. "ISM provides a 
unique opportunity to address the procurement industry by bringing together leaders from across the nation to share 
their proven, real-world solutions, and we are honored to be a part of the speaker line up."
