Supply Chain Industry Veteran Brings Experience from Manugistics, Computer Associates and WebPlan to Drive Sales and Marketing Initiatives

PLANO, Texas (July 24, 2002) A. T. Kearney, the global management consulting subsidiary of EDS (NYSE:EDS), today announced Michael Sorensen has been appointed vice president, sales and marketing, of A.T. Kearney Procurement Solutions, the company's eSourcing unit.

With an extensive background spanning nearly 20 years in executive sales and marketing positions at companies including Manugistics and Computer Associates, Sorensen has a proven record of surpassing performance goals, strengthening sales capabilities and leading revenue growth for

Most recently, he more than doubled revenue in two years as vice president of worldwide sales at WebPLAN, a provider of Web-based supply chain planning and execution solutions.

“Mike's solid understanding of supply chain technologies and services and the value they offer to reduce costs, save time and streamline enterprise-level supplier relationships makes him uniquely suited to lead us in achieving our goals for the next two years,” said Joe Raudabaugh, head of A.T. Kearney Procurement Solutions. “Masterminding effective campaigns targeted to large and mid-market companies, leading a worldwide sales force, and inspiring C-level executives to implement world-class resources requires the top-caliber marketing skills and solid relationships that Mike brings as we
continue to invest in our leadership in the eSourcing software and services market.”

“By offering best-of-breed sourcing services and technology, A.T. Kearney Procurement Solutions allows companies to effectively aggregate and better manage their spend for comprehensive supply management,” said Sorensen. “I'm looking forward to leading the charge to help the world's best companies drive significant value for themselves and ultimately their customers by keeping their own costs low and their supply chains efficient.”
