"We believe 2004 was a successful year for Manhattan Associates as we expanded our market penetration well beyond Warehouse Management and into the full suite of supply chain execution solutions," said Pete Sinisgalli, Manhattan Associates' president and CEO. "We continued to take market share in our strongest market, warehouse management. Our Warehouse Management license revenue grew by about 11% in 2004, which is about three times faster than analysts believe the overall warehouse management market expanded. Our non- warehouse solutions grew even faster in 2004 climbing 19% over 2003. We believe the market is looking for a provider to establish a strong position in the $4 billion supply chain execution market and are confident we are well positioned to be that company," commented Sinisgalli.
