Christie Eykelkamp honored for development of ModusLink`s e-Business Suite of
Solutions
WALTHAM, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
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.

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

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
