PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The  following  information   heretofore  filed  with  the  Securities  Exchange
Commission  ("Commission")  pursuant to the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), is incorporated herein by reference:

(a)  The registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1998, File No. 000-23459.

(b)  The  description  of  the  registrant's   Common  Stock  and  the  Specimen
     Certificate  for  shares  of Common  Stock  contained  in the  registrant's
     Registration  Statement on Form S-1,  dated  November  24,  1997,  File No.
     333-38177.

In addition,  all documents filed by the registrant or the Made2Manage  Systems,
Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Sections 13(a),  13(c), 14,
and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after  December 31, 1998,  and prior to the filing
of a  post-effective  amendment  indicating  that all of the securities  offered
hereby have been sold or deregistering all such securities then remaining unsold
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this  Registration  Statement
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of those documents.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Indiana  Business  Corporation Law ("IBCL"),  the provisions of which govern
the Registrant,  empowers an Indiana corporation to indemnify present and former
directors,  officers,  employees, or agents or any person who may have served at
the request of the  corporation as a director,  officer,  employee,  or agent of
another  corporation  ("Eligible  Persons")  against  liability  incurred in any
proceeding,  civil or criminal,  in which the Eligible Person is made a party by
reason of being or  having  been in any such  capacity,  or  arising  out of his
status as such, if the individual  acted in good faith and  reasonably  believed
that (a) the individual was acting in the best interests of the corporation,  or
(b) if the challenged  action was taken other than in the individual's  official
capacity as an officer,  director,  employee, or agent, the individual's conduct
was at least not opposed to the  corporation's  best  interests,  or (c) if in a
criminal  proceeding,  either the individual had reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.


<PAGE>

The IBCL  further  empowers a  corporation  to pay or reimburse  the  reasonable
expenses  incurred by an Eligible  Person in connection  with the defense of any
such claim,  including  counsel  fees;  and,  unless  limited by its Articles of
Incorporation,  the  corporation  is required to  indemnify  an Eligible  Person
against  reasonable  expenses if he is wholly successful in any such proceeding,
on the merits or otherwise.  Under certain circumstances,  a corporation may pay
or  reimburse  an  Eligible  Person  for  reasonable  expenses  prior  to  final
disposition  of the matter.  Unless a  corporation's  Articles of  Incorporation
otherwise provide,  an Eligible Person may apply for  indemnification to a court
which may order indemnification upon a determination that the Eligible Person is
entitled  to  mandatory  indemnification  for  reasonable  expenses  or that the
Eligible Person is fairly and reasonably  entitled to indemnification in view of
all the relevant  circumstances  without regard to whether his actions satisfied
the appropriate standard of conduct.

Before a  corporation  may indemnify any Eligible  Person  against  liability or
reasonable expenses under the IBCL, a quorum consisting of directors who are not
parties to the proceeding must (1) determine that indemnification is permissible
in the  specific  circumstances  because the Eligible  Person met the  requisite
standard of conduct,  (2)  authorize the  corporation  to indemnify the Eligible
Person and (3) if appropriate, evaluate the reasonableness of expenses for which
indemnification  is  sought.  If it is  not  possible  to  obtain  a  quorum  of
uninvolved directors, the foregoing action may be taken by a committee of two or
more  directors  who are not parties to the  proceeding,  special  legal counsel
selected  by the  Board  or  such a  committee,  or by the  shareholders  of the
corporation.

In  addition to the  foregoing,  the IBCL  states  that the  indemnification  it
provides  shall  not be deemed  exclusive  of any  other  rights to which  those
indemnified may be entitled under any provision of the Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws,  resolution of the board of directors or  shareholders,  or any other
authorization  adopted  after notice by a majority vote of all the voting shares
then issued and  outstanding.  The IBCL also empowers an Indiana  corporation to
purchase and maintain  insurance  on behalf of any Eligible  Person  against any
liability  asserted  against or  incurred  by him in any  capacity  as such,  or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have had
the power to indemnify him against such liability.

Reference  is  made  to  Article  8 of  the  Articles  of  Incorporation  of the
registrant  concerning  indemnification  of directors,  officers,  employees and
agents. Such Article indemnifies the directors,  officers,  employees and agents
to the fullest extent permitted by the IBCL.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

See Index to Exhibits, page 8.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)  To file,  during  any  period in which  offers or sales are being  made,  a
     post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

     (i)  To  include  any  prospectus  required  by  section  10(a)(3)  of  the
          Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii) To reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising  after the
          effective  date of the  registration  statement  (or the  most  recent
          post-effective  amendment  thereof)  which,  individually  or  in  the
          aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
          in the registration statement;

     (iii)To  include  any  material  information  with  respect  to the plan of
          distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
          any material change to such information in the registration statement.

     Provided,  however,  that paragraphs  (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if
     the information  required to be included in a  post-effective  amendment by
     those  paragraphs is contained in periodic  reports filed with or furnished
     to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
     of the Exchange Act that are  incorporated by reference in the registration
     statement.

(2)  That for the purpose of determining  any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933,  each such  post-effective  amendment  shall be deemed to be a new
     registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
     offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.

(3)  To remove from  registration by means of a post-effective  amendment any of
     the securities  being  registered which remain unsold at the termination of
     the offering.

(4)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
     1933,  each filing of the  registrant's  annual report  pursuant to Section
     13(a) or Section  15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,  where  applicable,  each
     filing of an employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report  pursuant to Section
     15(d)  of the  Exchange  Act)  that is  incorporated  by  reference  in the
     registration  statement shall be deemed to be a new registration  statement
     relating  to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the  offering  of such
     securities  at that  time  shall be  deemed  to be the  initial  bona  fide
     offering thereof.


<PAGE>

Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such  indemnification  is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,  unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for  indemnification  against such liabilities  (other
than the payment by the  registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by  controlling
precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the question whether
such  indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 5.01



August 19, 1999



Board of Directors
Made2Manage Systems, Inc.
9002 Purdue Road
Indianapolis, Indiana 46268

Gentlemen:

     We  have  acted  as  counsel  to  Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc.,  an  Indiana
corporation  (the  "Company"),  in connection  with the filing of a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the  "Registration  Statement"),  with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for the purposes of registering under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), 200,000 shares of the
Company's  authorized but unissued  Common Stock,  no par value,  (the "Shares")
issuable  upon  exercise  of  stock  options  which  may be  granted  under  the
Made2Manage, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").

     In connection therewith,  we have investigated those questions of law as we
have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.  We also have
examined  originals,   or  copies  certified  or  otherwise  identified  to  our
satisfaction,  of those documents,  corporate or other records, certificates and
other papers that we deemed  necessary to examine for purposes of this  opinion,
including:

1.   Minutes for Board of Directors Meetings held on January 26, 1999,  relating
     to the approval of the Plan and  reserving  shares for  issuance  under the
     Plan (the "Resolutions");

2.   The Registration Statement;

3.   The Plan; and

4.   A certified copy of the Company's  Articles of Amendment of the Articles of
     Incorporation, file-stamp dated December 22, 1997.

We have also relied,  without  investigation as to the accuracy thereof, on oral
and written  communications  from public  officials and officers of the Company.
For  purposes  of this  opinion,  we have  assumed  (i) the  genuineness  of all
signatures of all parties other than the Company;  (ii) the  authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic originals
of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies;  (iii) that
the Resolutions will not be amended, altered or superseded prior to the issuance
of the Shares;  and (iv) that no changes will occur in the applicable law or the
pertinent facts prior to the issuance of the Shares.

     Based upon the  foregoing  and subject to the  qualifications  set forth in
this letter, we are of the opinion that the Shares are validly  authorized,  and
when (a) the pertinent  provisions of the  Securities Act and all relevant state
securities  laws have been complied with and (b) the Shares have been  delivered
against payment therefor as contemplated by the Plan, the Shares will be legally
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We hereby  consent  to the  filing of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement.  In giving  this  consent,  we do not admit that we are
within the category of persons whose consent is required  under Section 7 of the
Securities Act or under the rules and  regulations  of the  Commission  relating
thereto.

                                             Very truly yours,

                                             /s/

                                             ICE MILLER DONADIO & RYAN


Exhibit 23.01



Consent of Independent Accountants


We  hereby  consent  to the  incorporation  by  reference  in this  Registration
Statement on Form S-8  (pursuant to the  Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc.  1999 Stock
Option  Plan) of our report  dated March 1, 1999  relating  to the  consolidated
financial  statements and financial statement schedules of Made2Manage  Systems,
Inc.,  which appears in Made2Manage  Systems,  Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
