ICON-SCM Named as Finalist for Supply Chain Innovation Award

ICON-SCM's Supply Chain Management Solution Helps Customers Cut Planning Time
from Weeks to Minutes, Reduce Inventory and Increase Flexibility

CAMPBELL, Calif., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- ICON-SCM, a global leader in supply
chain planning and collaboration software, today announced that its supply
chain planning solution has been named as a finalist for the 2009 Supply Chain
Innovation Award by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals
(CSCMP). The Supply Chain Innovation Award recognizes the most innovative
solutions and ideas in the supply chain profession. CSCMP is the leading
worldwide professional association dedicated to education, research, and the
advancement of the supply chain management profession. Award finalists are
selected for their innovative technology, implementation strategy and their
overall fiscal and operational impact.

"At ICON-SCM, we collaborate strategically with our customers to produce
measurable and valuable improvements to their supply chain and more
importantly, their bottom line," said Spencer Miller, CEO of ICON-SCM. "Our
suite of supply chain planning tools helps customers turn the inherent
challenges of outsourced manufacturing into a business advantage. We are
honored to be recognized by CSCMP for our work, and privileged to have such
visionary customers."

Many companies today are outsourcing 100% of their supply chain. While
outsourcing can reduce infrastructure costs, it can also reduce a company's
visibility and control as critical information needed to manage excess costs
and provide timely response to customers becomes fragmented across multiple
vendors and suppliers. ICON-SCM is nominated for helping its customers gain
visibility into disparate supply chains and respond with more accuracy and
speed to customer needs and demand.

For many companies, the supply chain planning process involves gathering data
from each supplier and vendor. This process usually takes weeks to complete,
and by the time the data is gathered, market conditions may have shifted and
made much of the plan obsolete. With the ICON-SCM solution, planning time goes
from weeks to minutes because ICON-SCM creates a common framework for
gathering data from all vendors and suppliers, making it easy to have
visibility into supply chain conditions at all times.

ICON-SCM will present its solution in detail at the CSCMP conference in
Chicago on September 21, 2009 at 1:45pm. For more information on ICON-SCM's
