ROCKVILLE, Md. -- Manugistics Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MANU), a leading global provider of synchronized supply chain and revenue management solutions, today announced it has appointed Peter Shearer as Director of Solution Consulting. As an expert in the development, implementation and delivery of information technology systems for the transportation sector, Shearer will focus on enhancing Manugistics' market-leading Revenue Management solutions.

Shearer brings more than two decades of travel and transportation experience to Manugistics, with particular expertise in delivering sophisticated revenue management solutions and tools that have delivered significant business value to customers. During his career, he has worked with train operators and rail systems throughout Europe, North America and Asia providing revenue management and yield management systems. He will report to Manugistics Vice President of Revenue Management Operations Andy Archer.

"I look forward to applying my knowledge of the fast-paced and dynamic transportation industry to help deliver and support the best-of-breed revenue management solutions provided to Manugistics clients," said Shearer. "I'm thrilled with the company's renewed focus on the Travel, Transportation and Hospitality industries, and I look forward to serving the needs and meeting the challenges that our clients face today."

Prior to joining Manugistics, Shearer served as client delivery executive for EDS (Electronic Data Systems), a leading provider of business and technology solutions.

He was responsible for managing relationships with a number of leading rail and tour operator customers in the United Kingdom and in France, including SNCF, France's national railway, and Club Mediterranee. Shearer also led presentations, demonstrations and training sessions for leading train operators in Europe, North America and Asia.

As Account Director with Sabre, a provider of retail travel products and travel technology solutions, Shearer led a number of projects with rail operators in Europe and in North America to identify innovative solutions to assist customers in optimizing revenues and improving their bottom line. In particular, he oversaw the successful implementation of the revenue management system at Virgin Trains, the first deployment of revenue management in the United Kingdom's rail industry.

Shearer began his career at British Rail Business Systems where he led the design and development of various projects that included the enhancement of Seat Assignment and Sleeper Berth packages, which vastly improved customer service for rail passengers while modernizing the industry and increasing revenues for rail companies.

"Changes in the way airlines, railroads and cargo operators manage capacity and book and sell their products have fundamentally transformed these businesses," said Archer.
