CDC Software to Showcase CRM Solution at Housebuilding 2006 Event in London

ATLANTA & NORTHAMPTON, U.K. -- Pivotal Corporation, a leading customer relationship management (CRM) solutions provider and a division of CDC Software, a subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), will launch its award-winning CRM for Homebuilders in the U.K. at this years' Housebuilding 2006 event at the Business Design Centre, London, October 10 - 11. Leveraging its success in North America, Pivotal CRM for Homebuilders is bringing its best-in-class relationship management application software to the U.K. market in October 2006.

"Pivotal is recognised as a leading supplier of relationship management software to homebuilders in North America and we are delighted to introduce Pivotal CRM to the U.K. homebuilder market," said Mark Carlile, U.K. managing director, CDC Software. "We want to work with U.K. home builders to help them gain the business benefits and competitive edge already being achieved by leading homebuilders in North America. They have improved their business performance during the recent market downturn by using Pivotal CRM to centralise customer information to gain a single consistent view of the customer across the company. Better knowledge of customers and potential customers has helped them run better more targeted marketing campaigns; and automate the sales process to improve qualification rates and timescales, identify up-sell and cross-sell opportunities and increase the overall efficiency and productivity of the sales team," he concluded.

From the first indication of interest on a homebuilder's Website, to the handling of a service request years after a home purchase, the Pivotal CRM software application helps homebuilders to become more competitive in selling, marketing and service delivery, to stay ahead of the competition and increase revenue and profit margins. "As competitive pressures increase in the homebuilding industry, the need to provide differentiating services and unlock maximum value possible with each client also increases. Doing this quickly and effective is one of the key challenges facing the homebuilding sector today," said Carlile.

Voted IT Product of the Year and Best Sales, Marketing and Customer Service Automation product at the International Builder's Show 2006 in Florida, Pivotal CRM has achieved a number of awards in recognition of product excellence including being named as one of the "Top 15" CRM software packages for 2006 by ISM Inc., a premier CRM consulting firm. Pivotal includes many leading U.S. homebuilders among its customers, including Beazer Homes, Centex Homes and Wayne Homes.
