Manhattan Associates becomes leader in the Russian market

Filed in archive Market Overview on October 18, 2008

In the recent market share report prepared by Gartner regarding supply chain software applications in Russia, Manhattan Associates has been ranked No. 1.

Manhattan, which according to Globenewswire, already is one of the longest established pure play vendors in Russia, has more than twice the market share of its nearest pure play rival. Its growth has been achieved through the rapid adoption of its distribution management solutions by many of Russia's leading companies, as well as more recent sales of its collaborative commerce solution Extended Enterprise Management. Extended Enterprise Management helps companies improve supply chain connectivity with trading partners and streamlines processes across a company's extended supply chain.

It is believed that the reason behind the Market penetration of Manhattan is because of the local partnership model the company is pursuing. An important part of Manhattan's success in Russia is attributable to the strength of the partnership it enjoys with Korus Consulting, a systems integrator to retailers, suppliers and distributors in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Korus and Manhattan have worked together on many of the implementation projects that have contributed to Manhattan's growth in Russia.
