Eric Clark, President and CEO of Manhattan Associates, discussed the company's approach to artificial intelligence in a September 2026 interview. He stated that while AI can reduce coding costs, it can increase runtime costs, and criticized companies that adopt a "probabilistic AI for everything" approach as both expensive and inefficient. Clark attributed the high failure rate of AI projects to customers acting out of "fear of missing out" without clear objectives. He described Manhattan Associates as the only unified supply chain platform that is both cloud-native and AI-native. Clark also highlighted the company's technical practices, including nightly code regeneration to avoid technical debt and versionless design that enables automated updates every 90 days without downtime. He noted that Manhattan Associates has been the leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for warehouse management for 18 consecutive years.
