CDC Software's Ross Systems to Host Web Events on Effective Strategies to Compete in Today's Chemical Industry.

Experts to Discuss Ways for Chemical Manufacturers to Gain and Grow Customer Relationships Through the Use of Enterprise Software Solutions

WHAT:   From specialty chemicals to plastics, the last decade has
        brought a growing number of challenges for chemical
        manufacturers, including increasing global and local
        competition, rising costs and meeting customer demands.
        Increasingly, chemical manufacturers are looking to enterprise
        software solutions to better enable them to address these
        challenges, but reaping the benefits these systems have to
        offer requires selecting a solution that can effectively
        address the unique needs of the chemicals industry.
        Ultimately, chemicals manufacturers must solve these
        challenges to gain new customers and grow existing customer
        relationships. Registration for these webcasts is free of
        charge.

WHO:    Ross Systems, a global provider of enterprise software
        solutions and a division of CDC Software, a subsidiary of CDC
        Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), and Microsoft (MSFT) will co-host
        the live Web events and industry expert, Olin Thompson,
        principal of Process ERP Partners, will discuss effective
        strategies to compete in today's chemical industry.  All
