Solution Updates Expand the Power of Manhattan SCOPE(tm)

ATLANTA, Jan. 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global supply chain optimization
provider Manhattan Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq:MANH) today announced the next
evolution of the Manhattan SCOPE(tm) (Supply Chain Optimization -- Planning
through Execution) portfolio, which now features the Extended Enterprise
Management X-Suite solution, the new Total Cost-to-Serve supply chain platform
application as well as the latest release of Manhattan Supply Chain
Intelligence. The new and updated additions to SCOPE give Manhattan customers a
clear view of the power of an optimized supply chain network.

"Our platform applications and X-Suite solutions help companies execute supply
chain strategies that optimize results across functions as a whole, rather than
taking a traditional 'siloed' approach, creating a significant advantage for our
customers," said Eddie Capel, executive vice president, Global Operations,
Manhattan Associates. "With these additions, customers will receive real-time
insight into supply chain events as they occur, along with key process analytics
and detailed cost breakdowns -- information that drives faster, more intelligent
decision-making on all supply chain issues."

Extended Enterprise Management, Supply Chain Intelligence and Total
Cost-to-Serve are browser-based solutions that deliver key analytics via
detailed reports to enable companies to optimize the functions of the entire
supply chain network.

* Extended Enterprise Management (EEM): The newest X-Suite solution
is designed to connect with trading partners and customers to
provide the overarching visibility and event management
capabilities required to successfully manage inventory through
global supply chains. EEM manages order fulfillment and automates
communications with customers with end-to-end visibility, tracking
and monitoring of orders, shipments and inventory from sourcing
to delivery.

* Manhattan Total Cost-To-Serve (TCS): TCS, a new supply chain
platform application, works with Manhattan SCI to provide detailed
reports and analysis to give a complete picture of the financial
supply chain and enable companies to make better sourcing, routing
and fulfillment decisions based on the total cost of serving each
customer. Manhattan TCS determines the total landed costs as they
happen -- how much it costs to get product from the supplier to the
warehouse -- and adds that to the cost of delivering the product
from the warehouse to the customer, providing the total direct and
indirect costs of serving customers.

* Manhattan Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI): The latest release of
SCI enables complete, consistent and integrated business
intelligence for companies by providing at-a-glance insight into
supply chain performance. With SCI's easy-to-read, customizable
reports, companies can monitor the performance of key elements of
their supply chain network from one intuitive workbench. The
reports contain hundreds of measures, key performance indicators
(KPIs) and analysis dimensions that enable companies to gain
insight into trends in the supply chain as they happen and make
both short and long-term decisions based on that information.
"Linking supply chain planning, optimization, and execution together in a
product where data and workflow are natively integrated between applications is
a rare accomplishment. With the exception of some technology companies serving
the wholesale distribution industry, none has come close to providing such
capability, including ERP vendors of any size." -- Greg Aimi, AMR Research*

With a common process platform and key visibility, predictive technologies,
advanced intelligence and adaptive functionality, Manhattan SCOPE leverages the
spectrum of people, tasks and events across the supply chain for the most
efficient, accurate performance possible. SCOPE's modular service-oriented
architecture facilitates the creation of cross-suite applications to address
specific requirements for the goals of each Manhattan customer.
