Global eXchange Services Named Top Supply and Demand Chain Vendor

GAITHERSBURG, Md.--June 23, 2004--Global eXchange Services, a leading provider of B2B integration solutions, announced today that it has been named to the Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100, the third-annual listing issued by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine of the top 100 supply chain solution providers.

Global eXchange Services earned this award as a result of its long-term commitment to providing innovative supply chain management and service offerings, and its industry knowledge and expertise, which has increased customer business intelligence and return on investments, while reducing supply chain inefficiencies.

"The Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 showcases Global eXchange Services' success in providing collaborative e-commerce solutions that include supply chain execution, logistics, B2B integration and data synchronization," said Bobby Patrick, Global eXchange Services chief marketing officer. "Global eXchange Services offers a diverse service portfolio that we continue to refine for customers faced with evolving supply chain standards and demands."

Supply & Demand Chain Executive based the criteria for the 2004 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 on the factors that its readers said mattered most in evaluations of solutions for enabling their supply and demand chains. The reader list is comprised of supply chain solution providers, consultants and other organizations that have helped lead the way in transforming companies' supply and demand chains.

"Clearly, much has changed since our original list appeared early in 2001," commented editor Andrew K. Reese. "With all the ups and downs of the past few years, we've seen any number of solution providers close their doors, get acquired or shift their focus in order to survive. But we've also seen a significant number of providers continue to build up their customer base, extend their offerings and solidify their reputations for offering effective solutions."

Reese added that it is these "supply and demand chain survivors" -- those that were not "booted off the island" by market forces -- that the magazine wanted to highlight with this year's Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100.

After receiving nomination forms, the Supply & Demand Chain Executive Editorial Team and Advisory Board culled through them to find the applicants that best fit the above criteria. Final recipients are featured in the cover story of the June/July 2004 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive, as well as online at www.SDCExec.com.
