c360 Exceeds Key Business Objectives Since Acquisition by CDC Software

ATLANTA--c360 Solutions, a leading Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management Independent Software Vendor (ISV) and a division of CDC Software, a subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), announced today that it has exceeded key business objectives during the five months since it was acquired by CDC Software. Since the completion of the acquisition of c360 by CDC Software in April 2006, c360 has:

  • Added 95 new channel partners bringing the total to over 600 worldwide
  • Reached total cumulative c360 licenses of over 190,000
  • Achieved maintenance renewal rates above 90%
  • Added 5 new products through licensing and acquisition
  • Estimated revenues for third quarter ended September 30, 2006 at 30% above budgeted revenues

c360 was consistently reporting growth in many key business metrics when they joined us in April, said Eric Musser, president of CDC Software. Leveraging the global capabilities of CDC Software, were amplifying that growth trend as we take c360 into new markets. In addition, the release of Dynamics CRM 3.0 in December of 2005 by Microsoft has created a noticeable uptake in the CRM industry in general, and in the c360 applications in particular. We see this strong demand for c360 add-on applications for Microsoft Dynamics CRM continuing well into the future.

The financial leverage that CDC Software has brought to c360 along with the market strength of Microsoft CRM has enabled excellent sales growth and performance, said John Gravely, vice president, Operations of c360. Our partnership with Microsoft has helped us grow our base of channel partners and sales both domestically and internationally as we penetrate more markets together.
