As I have mentioned before, every year Supply & Demand Chain Executive publishes a "Executive 100 list" and recognizes supply chain solution and service providers that are at the forefront of enabling the 21st century supply chain. Based on submissions from end-users and solution providers, the "Executive 100" list is determined by the editorial staff of the magazine in conjunction with its advisory board.

This year a number of companies could keep their position in the list which is quite admirable. These are companies which you might not know because they have a relatively small size but they are good at what they do. To mention a few, I can refer to the following ones:

- Servigistics, the strategic service management solution provider, which has made it for the fifth consecutive year.
- Plexus Systems, Inc., providers of Plexus Online on-demand software for the manufacturing enterprise
- Deacom, Inc. , ERP software vendor, which specializes in simplifying and managing the complex business process issues of mid-sized building component, manufactured building, batch process, and mixed-mode manufacturers.
- Technology Group International (TGI), the ERP software solution provider
