    Chain and Improve Service Levels

    ClearCross, the leading global provider of applications and intelligent content for cross-border trade compliance and security, announced today that it has won World Trade magazine's Outstanding Supply Chain Innovators Award in Global Trade Management Technology.
    The Supply Chain Technology Innovation Award recognizes major achievements throughout the past year. World Trade Magazine asked its writers, editors and contributors to examine the current marketplace and develop a series of awards, which resulted in a total of six category winners for 2002.
    ClearCross' Trade Compliance Solution was chosen for its integration with Oracle's E-Business Suite. Oracle and ClearCross developed an International Trade Management Adapter that works with the ClearCross Export Compliance Solution (ECS) to reduce time and cost from customers' international shipments.
    In addition, the solution assures that global distribution adheres to changing complex government regulations. "Our writers and contributing editors were impressed by the long-term results this company had established in this industry niche. The testimonial given by Oracle was another persuasive element in reaching this decision." World Trade is the market leader and primary source of information and analysis vital to U.S. manufacturers engaged in domestic or cross-border trade.
    "ClearCross is elated to receive the Supply Chain Technology Innovation Award for our Global Trade Management Technology," said Bruce E. Johnson, President and CEO of ClearCross, Inc. "This award is a great reflection on the success and value of our solutions."
