     We have acted as counsel for Manhattan Associates, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Registrant”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8, of a proposed offering of 2,516,737 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Shares”), issuable pursuant to the Manhattan Associates, Inc.

Very truly yours,
