Solution Tailored for the Reseller Channel

SHANGHAI, ATLANTA, June 15, 2010 - CDC Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCS),
a hybrid enterprise software provider of on-premise and cloud deployments,
today announced the availability of CDC Pivotal CRM for Small and Mid-size
Business (SMB), its customer relationship management (CRM) solution
specifically tailored for organizations with fewer than 40 users.

With Pivotal CRM for SMB, companies can gain a complete view of their
customers across sales, marketing and customer service that can help them
win new business, build customer loyalty, improve insight, reduce costs, and
increase revenue. Pivotal CRM for SMB, which is sold through
reseller/partner channels, offers a complete out-of-the-box CRM solution
with all the functionality required to meet the needs of small and mid-size
businesses, with a fast implementation and low total cost of ownership.
Pivotal CRM for SMB's functionality includes contact management, sales force
automation, customer service and self-service, and partner management, as
well as marketing automation, all provided in a modular fashion for maximum
flexibility.

Pivotal CRM for SMB is based on the powerful Pivotal CRM 6 platform, which
features embedded Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft Outlook,
Microsoft Office, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Visual Studio's forms
designer. Based on the Microsoft.NET framework 3.5, Pivotal CRM 6 was
recognized by Microsoft for delivering one of the most innovative Microsoft
Office-based applications, when it was recognized as a Microsoft Worldwide
Partner Conference Award winner in Information Worker Solutions, Office
Solutions Development in 2009.

Pivotal CRM 6 is CDC Software's customer relationship management solution,
which combines a suite of modular applications and an agile business
application development platform that helps companies make the best use of
Microsoft tools and technologies. It runs on Microsoft Windows Servers,
Windows 7 and Microsoft's SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, as well as
the Microsoft SMB editions of these servers. Pivotal CRM for SMB is
architected for high user adoption, ease of use and maintenance, and low
total cost of ownership with SMBs in mind; it provides personalized and
dynamic task-based navigation, rich personalized dashboards to push relevant
content, easy configuration and customization, and an intuitive and familiar
Microsoft-style customizable and familiar smart client user interface.

Pivotal CRM for SMB offers a seamless and elegant user experience that
integrates CRM with the Microsoft technologies most SMBs have invested in
and are familiar with. With Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Visual
Studio Form Designer embedded in Pivotal CRM for SMB's Toolkit, the CRM
system can become a hub for all business activities and collaborations,
allowing users to complete much of their daily work without having to switch
back and forth between multiple applications. With Microsoft Outlook 2007
embedded, users don't have to worry about data synchronization issues
between their CRM and Outlook inbox, and they can complete their
calendaring, task, or e-mail activities in either application. Pivotal CRM
for SMB also features easier customization, enhanced searching and
reporting, ease of use, and the flexibility to conform to each SMB's unique
way of doing business, all of which help increase user adoption and lead to
overall higher worker productivity.

"We believe the SMB market offers significant opportunities for our CDC
Pivotal CRM solution," said Arash Asli, Global vice president of CRM
solutions, CDC Software. "SMBs require all the benefits that an enterprise
CRM solution offers while fitting within their limited budget and resources.
We believe that our Microsoft-centric solution for SMBs is an ideal match
for small and mid-sized businesses, offering the big benefits of rich CRM
functionality, consistent customer experience management, fast
implementation, easy configuration and personalization, and low maintenance,
all with the ease of use and affordability required by them."

resellers and custom application developer shops, since the solution is
affordable and provides true low total cost of ownership, and its high
flexibility allows them to easily customize it to best fit the industry and
business needs of their customers. We believe that Pivotal CRM for SMB is a
very compelling solution for a growing market segment that will not only
