Manhattan Associates to Speak at DoD RFID Summit for Industry

EVP Strategy and Business Development, Eric Peters, to Speak on Lessons Learned in Radio Frequency Identification Implementations

ATLANTA - April 7, 2004 - Manhattan Associates®, Inc. (NASDAQ: MANH), the global leader in providing supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, announced that Eric Peters, executive vice president, strategy and business development, will speak at the 2004 Department of Defense (DoD) RFID Summit for Industry, April 6 - 8, 2004, in Washington, D.C. The summit is being hosted by the Office of the Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Supply Chain Integration) and the DoD Logistics AIT Office. The DoD RFID Summit for Industry brings together leaders in the field of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to discuss RFID technology and strategies for taking advantage of the asset management efficiencies that can be realized through the integration of RFID throughout the DoD and commercial partners. This is the second year the summit has been held and Manhattan Associates has participated in both.

Mr. Peters will participate in the "Lessons Learned on Implementation" panel on Thursday, April 8, from 8:45 a.m.- 10:45 a.m. EDT. This panel, moderated by Alan Estevez, assistant deputy under secretary of defense, supply chain integration, will explore the expectations, limitations and lessons to be learned from real-world RFID implementations. In his role at Manhattan Associates, Mr. Peters has gained intimate knowledge of the steps companies are taking to meet RFID mandates, including those issued by the DoD as well as several major retailers. Other participants in the panel include: Simon Langford, RFID strategy, Wal-Mart; Tom Torre, associate director, B2B supply chain innovation, Proctor & Gamble; Stav Prodromou, CEO, Alien; Larry Blue, vice president of engineering development, Matrics; and David Cass, transportation systems analyst, Fleet & Industrial Supply Center, Norfolk Ocean Terminal Division.

"Organizations are thirsting for guidance on RFID. We've been at the forefront of the RFID movement and as a result understand the challenges associated with implementing RFID into logistics operations," said Mr. Peters. " We have invested a great deal of time and effort in delivering world-class RFID-enabled solutions, working closely with our customers to address their RFID needs and partnering with other leading RFID technology vendors. I look forward to sharing what we've learned at this important summit."

In October 2003, the Department of Defense announced that it is requiring its suppliers to be RFID-compliant by January 2005. This edict solidified the DoD's place as an early adopter and true pioneer in supply chain and logistics operations. The DoD RFID Summit for Industry will bring together suppliers, supply chain personnel, DoD personnel, Acquisition & Logistics Program Managers from the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Marines and representatives from USTRANSCOM, the Defense Logistics Agency and other industry associations to educate and discuss the DoD's RFID policies, requirements, business processes and pilot programs that are already underway.
