CDC Software Ranks as One of the Top-20 Enterprise Software Companies on Manufacturing Business Technology's 2006 Global 100 List; CDC Software Advances Based on Organic Growth and High Customer Satisfaction in 2005.

ATLANTA -- CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and a provider of enterprise software applications, today announced that it ranked in the 18th position on Manufacturing Business Technology's 2006 Global 100 List of Enterprise and Supply Chain Management Application vendors, a ranking determined by total company revenues for 2005. The results were published in the July, 2006 issue of Manufacturing Business Technology magazine and online at http://www.mbtmag.com/global100/default.asp.

During 2005, CDC Software grew organically through increased software sales to new customers, expanded implementations with current customers and broadened services offerings. Much of this growth is attributed to new customers which accounted for approximately 40 percent of total software license revenue. This ratio is among the highest in the enterprise software industry and indicates continued healthy expansion of the business and strong demand for industry-specific applications. Additionally, maintenance retention rates exceeded 90 percent, indicating a high degree of customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction was also reflected by repeat business in the form of expanding deployments of successful software implementations worldwide.

"We are very proud, and not at all surprised by our advancement into the elite Top-20 list of global enterprise vendors," said Peter Yip, executive chairman of the board and CEO of CDC Software. "This is especially satisfying because our growth during 2005 was driven based on our consistent ability to deliver measurable value to our customers. It is also important to note that we are the only vendor of Asian origin to be included in the Top-20 list. Looking ahead, we believe our positioning will improve even further as we continue to grow through our global Franchise Partner Program and targeted acquisitions of complementary companies."
