Forbes Reaffirms ICG Commerce's Leadership in Procurement Business Process Outsourcing

Recognition Highlights Continued Strong Company and Market Growth, Market Share Leadership and Singular Focus on Procurement Industry Highlighted in Fourth Consecutive "Best of the Web" Recognition

PHILADELPHIA - Thursday, November 10, 2005 - ICG Commerce, a leading procurement 
services provider, today announced that it has been recognized for the fourth consecutive year in 
Forbes' "Best of the Web" ranking of business-to-business companies. ICG Commerce was 
selected for two categories this year, as one of four leaders in the overall Procurement market and 
one of 12 companies to be featured in the business process outsourcing (BPO) category. ICG 
Commerce was the only procurement-focused provider to be chosen in the BPO category.

ICG Commerce's selection was based on a number of compelling factors, including its expanding 
blue chip customer base. The company's latest publicly announced customer signings include 
Rent-A-Center, Cooper Cameron, Greif and Universal Packaging Systems.
  
"For ICG Commerce, its expertise is in the BPO-procurement industry and according to a 
research report from Nelson Hall, ICG Commerce is the market share leader in the area of 
procurement-BPO services," noted Forbes. 

Highlighting the company's vast potential, Forbes notes, "According to a report from IDC 
Research, procurement is the fastest growing BPO field with an estimated compound annual 
growth rate of 34.6 percent through 2008 and ICG Commerce is experiencing this growth first 
hand."

Forbes' 2005 Best of the Web guide showcases 100 best-in-class B2B companies in 13 different 
categories. Companies were judged on several criteria, including strategy, execution, innovation 
and financial staying power. 

"It's a privilege to again be recognized by Forbes as the leading procurement BPO provider," 
said Edward H. West, chairman and CEO of ICG Commerce. "By placing ICG Commerce 
alongside more broadly-focused providers such as IBM Global Services and Accenture, Forbes 
validates the demand for specialized providers. Our focus on procurement and history of 
delivering procurement related performance improvements and results to our customers is what 
drives our success in the market."
