Panjiva Lauded as One of the Year's Best Data Products by Leading Research Firm

NEW YORK, NY, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
Earlier today, Panjiva, the leading source of objective information on
global suppliers, announced that the company received the 2009 Model of
Excellence Award from InfoCommerce Group, a consulting and research firm
focused on the business information publishing industry and organizers of
DataContent09. Panjiva was selected for its innovative data products and
robust supplier intelligence platform which, according to event
organizers, is "blazing new trails" in the area of global sourcing and
supplier management.

Distinguishing Panjiva's supplier intelligence platform is the company's
commitment to integrating new, diverse data sources. Through the
onPanjiva program, organizations with information about global suppliers
can apply to publish this information via Panjiva Search, the most
comprehensive search engine for global trade. onPanjiva is part of
Panjiva's broader strategy to continually build its data sources as a
means of providing clients with the robust information they need to make
strategic supply chain decisions.

"Winning this award from an organization that knows our industry so well
is an enormous accomplishment and a reflection of the hard work and
dedication of the entire Panjiva team," noted Panjiva CEO Josh Green.
"We've made tremendous strides in the last year -- evolving our
technology and products, integrating new data sources through the
onPanjiva program and on-boarding new customers. This award provides an
opportunity to celebrate our success and thank everyone who has
contributed."

Winners of the 2009 Model of Excellence awards were selected from a group
of ten finalists and announced Wednesday at the Data Content09 Conference
in Philadelphia.

"With so much innovation coming out of the data industry, tracking it is
hard, and making sense of it is even harder," said Russell Perkins,
Founder and Managing Director of InfoCommerce Group. "The impetus behind
the Models of Excellence was to answer the one question our firm is
constantly asked -- Who's doing it right?"
