CDC Software Expands Presence in Australia with Acquisition of CRM and Business Intelligence Solutions Provider.

SYDNEY, Australia & ATLANTA -- CDC Software, the enterprise software company of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), today announced the acquisition of Brilliant Training and Consulting (Brilliant) in Australia. The acquisition provides a strategic fit into Praxa Australia, CDC Software's consulting services company in Australia, and significantly strengthens CDC Australia's position in the IT Software and Services market. Brilliant has built a reputation of success in Australia over the past 13 years for their CRM and business intelligence services, and have been providing these services to many large commercial clients as well as local and state governments.

"This agreement with Brilliant represents the third investment under our Franchise Partner Program - this one in the form of an outright acquisition," said Peter Yip, CEO of CDC Software. "The addition of Brilliant expands our distribution and adds value-added services and implementation skill sets to Praxa. Through this additional reach, we will accelerate sales of our Pivotal and c360 CRM products in the emerging Australia market which will serve as a springboard for further expansion in Southeast Asia."

"Brilliant has developed proven, specialized capabilities for the robust markets of CRM and business intelligence services in Australia," said John Clough, vice chairman of board for CDC Software and chairman of Praxa Limited. "Their expertise and services will be highly valued, both by our customers implementing commodity CRM solutions with the c360 add-on products for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform, as well as our customers deploying competitively-differentiating CRM solutions with our Pivotal CRM applications. At the same time, clients of Brilliant will be able to take advantage of the broader range of applications and development capabilities offered by Praxa and CDC Software."

"This is a highly complementary addition to Praxa and CDC Software in Australia. We have successfully worked together as partners for many years, and this business combination will be beneficial to both businesses and our combined family of customers," said Liz Poy, general manager Praxa NSW. "We bring a satisfied, loyal client base and a team of highly skilled, certified consultants and trainers that can be capitalized on from day-one. Brilliant has an excellent reputation in the Australian market for consulting and training in solutions for CRM and business intelligence, both of which are strategic solutions for CDC Software and their customers."
