San Francisco, CA. October 16, 2001.

"We are excited to align ourselves with a leading provider of IBM midrange solutions," said Marc Herman, President and CEO of Varsity. "Our partnership is perfectly positioned to enable VAI, and their distribution network, to offer a best-of-breed supply chain solution to mid-market customers."

"The ability for VAI customers to have a multi-carrier shipping solution that is integrated real time with their ERP solution, all on the same platform, is a winning combination."
