ModusLink® Corporation, a subsidiary of CMGI®, 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.?
