International Association of Outsourcing Professionals Highlights ICG Commerce Among Overall Outsourcing Leaders

Recognition Reaffirms Service Provider's Stronghold on the Procurement Outsourcing Market

PHILADELPHIA - Wednesday, May 03, 2006 - ICG Commerce, a leading procurement services
provider, today announced that it has been recognized by The International Association of Outsourcing
Professionals (IAOP) as one of the world's top outsourcing service providers for 2006. ICG Commerce
was recognized in the "Leaders" category and appeared along with other honorees in the April 3rd 
issue of Fortune Magazine.

"Selection to The Global Outsourcing 100 was based on a rigorous application process focused 
on the critical factors for long-term outsourcing success. As the global standard-setting 
organization and advocate for the outsourcing profession, IAOP is pleased to be able to recognize 
the industry's leading providers with this prestigious award," said Michael F. Corbett, Executive 
Director, IAOP.

ICG Commerce stands apart as the only procurement-specific vendor recognized among the 
IAOP Global Outsourcing 100, a distinction driven by the company's reputation for service 
excellence and continued market share leadership in the rapidly growing procurement 
outsourcing arena.  According to a recent 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."

The IAOP has found that growth in procurement outsourcing and other BPO categories is 
occurring while at the same time the overall employment rate for companies grew by 15% from 
2004 to 2005 -- a statistic that dispels the notion that outsourcing strategies must be pursued at the 
expense of existing jobs.  ICG Commerce is, in fact, enabling many of its customers to redeploy 
internal resources to focus on other strategic procurement activities while the service provider's 
team of experts focuses on managing key areas of indirect spend where significant bottom-line 
improvements can be made.

"It's a honor to be recognized by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals 
among the leading outsourcing providers in the world," said Edward H. West, chairman and CEO 
of ICG Commerce. "The recognition is indicative of the increasingly important role procurement 
outsourcing is playing within the overall business landscape as companies look to find new 
avenues for driving efficiencies and reducing costs."
