EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, June 29, 2007 -- Management Dynamics Inc., a leading provider of global trade management solutions, today announced the availability of a complimentary new research report from the Aberdeen Group entitled “Global Trade Management Strategies: Surviving Growing Complexities in 2007.” Aberdeen surveyed more than 200 enterprises for the study, according to which:

• Companies that currently have import or export compliance automation are 1.4 times more likely to have reported increased customs clearance speed over the past 2 years
  
  

• Companies that currently use a global supply chain visibility platform are twice as likely to have reduced total landed costs, lead times and lead time variability from international locations over the past 2 years
  

“Technology plays a critical role in providing the much-needed visibility into international orders and shipments and facilitating the management of all aspects of global trade. Based on this study’s findings, Best in Class companies have used a variety of technology enablers to support GTM,” - says Viktoriya Sadlovska, a research analyst at Aberdeen Group who authored the study. “These enablers have helped to better plan, execute, and track transactions while keeping global supply chain risks at bay.”

Management Dynamics addresses these automation initiatives by providing its global customers with a complete and integrated platform of GTM solutions including import management, a supplier portal, export compliance, trade agreement management, and global supply chain visibility. Best in Class companies in the current study are 3.7 times as likely as Laggards to be currently using a global supply chain visibility platform and twice as likely as Laggards to be currently using an export or import compliance automation. Management Dynamics remains on the forefront of automating global trade management processes to help global companies achieve Best in Class performance and lower their total landed costs.

“This latest report from Aberdeen underscores the importance of delivering solutions which address specific pain points in a complex global market and can be implemented faster at less cost,” says Jim Preuninger, Chief Executive Officer of Management Dynamics. “With our integrated platform and a ‘quick win’ implementation approach, our global customers are seeing a faster return on their investment for funding subsequent trade compliance initiatives that expand their GTM capabilities,” – adds Mr. Preuninger.
