ModusLink e-Business General Manager named “Pro to Know” by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine

Christie Eykelkamp honored for development of ModusLink’s e-Business Suite of Solutions

WALTHAM, Mass. — March 24, 2009 —  ModusLink Global Solutions™, 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.
