Jaguar Land Rover Signs B2B Outsourcing Agreement With GXS

GAITHERSBURG, MD and LONDON, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
GXS, a leading provider of business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce
solutions, today announced that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has signed an
agreement for GXS Managed Services. A subsidiary of Tata Motors Limited,
India's largest vehicle manufacturer, JLR was seeking a B2B provider that
could provide a flexible and scalable infrastructure, enabling the
company to continue working with more than 850

electronic data interchange (EDI)-based suppliers around the world. GXS
Managed Services is a comprehensive suite of B2B outsourcing services that
provides the on-going management and maintenance of a company's global B2B
e-commerce network and transactions.

After being divested from Ford Motor Company and sold to Tata Motors
Limited in 2008, JLR sought to quickly and cost effectively re-establish
its EDI-based, B2B e-commerce operations with no delays in production or
supply chain operations. With suppliers throughout North America as well
as Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), JLR supports a variety of
global EDI standards including VDA, ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, along with its
own proprietary messaging standard. Outsourcing the management of their
supplier EDI environment to GXS gives JLR access to cutting-edge B2B
capabilities quickly and easily without requiring major investments in
hardware, software or human resources. GXS is focused on establishing
JLR's B2B environment quickly, ensuring business continuity and enabling
JLR to remain focused on its core competency of manufacturing luxury cars.

"Maximizing cost savings is part of the picture for nearly every company
in Europe right now," said Jon Keating, vice-president of GXS EMEA. "But
that is not the whole story. There is an increased interest in B2B
outsourcing as companies review how best to harness their IT and supply
chain infrastructures. GXS Managed Services enables businesses like
Jaguar Land Rover to be ready to tap into new market opportunities
whenever and wherever they emerge across the globe."

GXS' B2B outsourcing services enable JLR to automate the movement,
translation and validation of messages with its suppliers. GXS Managed
Services is GXS' fastest growing product segment with clients from a
variety of vertical industries including automotive, manufacturing, high
tech, retail, consumer products, financial services and logistics.

With more than 40 years of automotive industry experience, GXS has one of
the largest B2B networks in the world, supporting an unmatched automotive
customer base that includes eight of the top ten global OEMs, 70 percent
of the world's Top 100 suppliers and 85 percent of the top 20 suppliers
in EMEA. GXS participates in a number of automotive industry bodies
around the world including North America's Automotive Industry Action
Group (AIAG) and Europe's Odette and Galia associations. GXS offers
localized sales, consulting and technical support throughout the United
States, EMEA and Asia.

"Savvier manufacturers are now going beyond cost cutting. The automotive
industry leaders, for example, are actively restructuring and streamlining
to be prepared for what comes next," said Mark Morley, director of
automotive industry marketing at GXS. "The current environment, with its
emphasis on shrinking capital expenditure, favors the sort of business
process outsourcing that only a global company like GXS is able to offer."
