Christie Eykelkamp honored for development of ModusLink's e-Business Suite of SolutionsWALTHAM, Mass., Mar 24, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ModusLink
Global Solutions(TM), Inc. (NASDAQ:MLNK), a leader in global
supply chain business process management, announced today that Supply
& Demand Chain Executive magazine named Christie Eykelkamp,
general manager, Global e-Business Group, a 2009 Provider Pro to Know in
recognition of spearheading and driving ModusLink's e-Business
initiative. Supply & Demand Chain Executive's annual Pros to
Know distinction honors supply chain executives that have implemented
new programs and initiatives to maximize performance, resources and
generate revenue.
Eykelkamp was instrumental in the creation of ModusLink's e-Business
Suite of Solutions -- designed to integrate e-commerce, customer care
and financial management with physical delivery and returns processes.
Clients can receive a fully customized online web store, returns or
recalls portal; opt to leverage ModusLink's robust global payment engine
to run behind an existing storefront; or a lower-cost, template-based
solution for rapid execution. The e-Business Suite enables ModusLink's
clients to build new revenue streams and provide their customers with an
improved online service and sales experience.
"This year's Provider Pros to Know have shown themselves to be
thought-leaders in their respective supply chain segments," said Andrew
K. Reese, editor, Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "Their
efforts in developing the tools and processes that enable companies to
weather risky economic conditions and place them in a position to surge
ahead in better times have earned them a place on this year's Provider
Pros listing."
"In our current economic environment, supply chain professionals need to
eliminate inefficiency within the supply chain to facilitate real-time
reaction to changes in demand," said Eykelkamp. "Similarly, identifying
new avenues for revenue growth is increasingly important as revenue
streams become strained in other areas. While efficient supply chain
processes are always an advantage, organizations that continue to push
innovation in their supply chain will be better positioned to grow when
the economy begins to recover."
In 2008, ModusLink's Lorcan Sheehan, senior vice president of marketing,
was a recipient of this award.
Now in its 9th year, Pros to Know is an annual award
competition run by Supply & Demand Chain Executive, a leading
monthly publication that provides a comprehensive overview of the supply
and demand chain industry. For the first time, the Pros to Know were
separated into three genres: Practitioner Pros to Know, Practitioner
Pros to Know Teams and Provider Pros to Know. Provider Pros to Know are
individuals from a software firm or service provider, consultancy, or
analyst or research firm; the Practitioner Pros to Know title was
awarded to corporate executives or teams at manufacturing and
non-manufacturing enterprises. All winners made significant
contributions to bringing change and innovation to supply chains by
implementing new programs and initiatives that helped maximize
performance, resources and revenue during trying economic times.

This release contains forward-looking statements, which address a
variety of subjects including, for example, the expected benefits of the
e-Business Suite of Solutions. The following important factors and
uncertainties, among others, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in these forward-looking statements:
ModusLink Global Solutions' success depends on its ability to execute on
its business strategy and the continued and increased demand for and
market acceptance of its solutions and services, including the
e-Business Suite of Solutions; ModusLink Global Solutions may not be
able to expand its operations and capabilities in accordance with its
business strategy; ModusLink Global Solutions may experience
difficulties integrating technologies, operations and personnel in
accordance with its business strategy; ModusLink Global Solutions
derives a significant portion of its revenue from a small number of
customers and the loss of any of those customers would significantly
damage its financial condition and results of operations; ModusLink
Global Solutions frequently sells to its supply chain management clients
on a purchase order basis rather than pursuant to contracts with minimum
purchase requirements, and therefore its revenues subject to demand
variability; increased competition and technological changes in the
markets in which ModusLink Global Solutions competes; and risks
associated with international operations. The occurrence of any of the
foregoing factors may have an adverse effect on ModusLink Global
Solutions' results of operations and financial results. For a
detailed discussion of cautionary statements that may affect ModusLink
Global Solutions' future results of operations and financial results,
please refer to ModusLink Global Solutions' filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements
represent management's current expectations and are inherently
uncertain. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking
statements made by us.
