CDC Software Acquires Email Marketing Solution.

Syndmail, Built on Pivotal CRM Platform, Provides Integrated Solution for Sales and Marketing Lead Generation

HONG KONG & ATLANTA -- CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software applications and consulting services, today announced the acquisition of Syndmail, an email marketing and communication solution, from Red Clay Consulting, entirely built using the Pivotal CRM tool set.

This add-on product is designed for companies wanting to execute simple, targeted and effective email campaigns with their Pivotal CRM solution. Customers looking for a solution to manage more complex, multi-channel enterprise marketing campaigns can utilize CDC MarketFirst, an adaptive marketing automation and lead management solution that is sold as a stand-alone solution and is also fully integrated with Pivotal CRM.

Syndmail is seamlessly integrated with Pivotal CRM and features web-based customer preferences and opt-in/out administration, response tracking including read, click-through and bounce backs, a bounce-back engine to monitor and report bad emails and analysis and reporting on customer responses and interaction. Approximately 25 customers in North America are currently using Syndmail with their Pivotal CRM systems.

"We are very glad to learn that Syndmail is now part of the standard Pivotal CRM product line," said Steve Roch, vice president of Marketing and Operational Excellence at ITT Visual Information Solutions. "This is good news for all Syndmail and Pivotal CRM customers. We have been using Syndmail since 2003 to support our electronic direct mail campaigns. Syndmail offers a fast and easy way to execute email campaigns from within Pivotal CRM. The offering will fill a niche for users that don't yet require the power of CDC MarketFirst. We are now in the process of upgrading to CDC MarketFirst to add sophistication to our multi-channel marketing programs such as the ability to use granular segmentation, automation and recurrence capabilities."

"Syndmail provides Pivotal customers with a cost-effective option for managing their discrete lead generation activities with simple, highly effective email campaigns," said Bruce Cameron, senior vice president of CDC Software's CRM Solutions. "The solution is built entirely within the Pivotal CRM tool set, providing out of the box integration with the Pivotal CRM applications."
