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."
