ModusLink Earns Platinum Supplier Award from Novell
ModusLink(R) Corporation, a subsidiary of CMGI(R), Inc. (NASDAQ:
CMGI) and leading provider of global supply chain management
solutions, today announced one of its European Solution Centers has
earned the Platinum Supplier Award from Novell, a leading provider of
enterprise-wide operating systems based on Linux and open source.
ModusLink's Kildare, Ireland Solution Center received the honor due to
its consistently outstanding performance in facilitating Novell's
complex global supply chain with fulfillment, kitting and
vendor-managed inventory (VMI) processes during the last two years.
Novell awards three levels of achievement to its vendors on a
yearly basis: Bronze, Silver and Gold. To reach the Platinum status, a
vendor must receive the Gold Award with a high level of performance
scoring on its "report card" for two consecutive years. ModusLink's
Kildare Solution Center was the only vendor to receive the prestigious
Platinum Award this year.
"The Platinum Supplier Award is rarely given and recipients
clearly must manage their business exceptionally well," said Scott
Alanis, senior buyer for Novell. "ModusLink is very deserving of this
award as it has played a critical role in the success of our supply
chain operations. By leveraging ModusLink's expertise, Novell has been
able to optimize and streamline our supply chain to provide better
service to our clients."
ModusLink has incurred much of the planning functionality for
Novell's supply chain and uses its insights into actual customer
demand to better optimize inventory levels to maintain Novell's
stringent customer service requirements. Combined with a targeted use
of on-demand manufacturing and distribution, ModusLink is able to
speed up order turnaround on a wide range of products with highly
variable demand.
"ModusLink is honored to receive this award," said Sean Murray,
general manager of ModusLink's Ireland Operations. "It is especially
rewarding when we are recognized for outstanding achievement by our
clients, who expect only the highest standards of service. This award
is a testament to the effectiveness of ModusLink's team in Kildare
that superbly manages the day-to-day execution of Novell's supply
chain."
