Manchester Software Enhances Web Portal Software
The Manchester Web Portal enables higher levels of business productivity with
features for team collaboration, web site management and Internet marketing 


ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 16  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Manchester Software
Development & Operations Consulting, a division of Manchester Technologies, Inc.
, announced today that its highly successful Manchester Web Portal has been
significantly enhanced and is now available to customers.

The Manchester Web Portal is a cost-effective platform for web technology that
enables higher levels of business productivity.  In addition, the web portal
includes features for web-based marketing and promotion to help increase company
sales and market awareness.

Targeted towards small and midsize companies, the Manchester Web Portal supports
company web sites, business extranets and a corporate intranet on a single
technology platform.  This approach greatly reduces the total cost and effort
required for creating and managing web applications and marketing via the Web.

  New features include:

   * More eMarketing tools. Enhanced support for email newsletters and
     multiple distribution lists allow users to easily create and manage
     email marketing campaigns.

   * Enhanced information sharing. The new portal supports multi-level
     libraries for posting white papers and articles, with more options to
     control user access. Options range from simple registration forms to
     full password protection.

   * Robust image management. Users can create libraries of images, and
     target individual images for rotation into specific web pages. This
     enables easy creation and control of dynamic, fresh image content.



"The Manchester Web Portal provides increasing utility for our clients who wish
to drive sales and service via the web," said Barry R. Steinberg, President and
CEO of Manchester Technologies, Inc. "The return on investment is typically less
than six months and the upside canbe tremendous."

PACE Electronics, (http://www.paceelectronics.com/) a global contract
manufacturing company with operations in the U.S. and China, has deployed the
latest version of the Manchester Web Portal.   "Our old web site was tired-
looking andwas not attracting new customers," said Pat Kehoe, President of PACE
Electronics.  "We are very happy with the professional look and the ease with
which we can work with the Manchester Web Portal.  Manchester people have
provided a lot of great advice and guidance as to how to generate sales leads
and create new business opportunities through the web."

The Manchester Software Web Site (http://www.manchestersoftware.com/) is also
built on this version of the Web Portal.  Manchester Software pilots every
feature on their own web site prior to release to clients.  This is one example
of the rigorous quality program that is required for all software projects and
products.

"With the Manchester Web Portal, clients can now keep content fresh, upgrade
their web site, and post news and articles with 10% of the effort of traditional
web sites," said Anthony Mazzullo, President of Manchester Software. "Manchester
Web Portal programs are all-inclusive for a worry-free and low-risk approach to
using the webto produce measurable business results: lower costs, higher
revenue and greater margins."

A Manchester Web Portal Program, including strategy, design, corporate site
license and deployment, starts at $15,000.
