      CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: 
      CHINA) and a provider of enterprise software applications and consulting 
      services, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of 
      Dynamic Business Consultants (DBC), a leading and award-winning software 
      systems integrator based in Melbourne, Australia.
    
    
      DBC is expected to market and sell CDC Software’s 
      Process Manufacturing solutions that include CDC Factory and Ross 
      Enterprise. The acquisition of DBC is intended not only to expand CDC 
      Software’s market presence in Australia, but 
      also to expand the solutions and services footprint for CDC Software’s 
      Australia-based Praxa services business in this rapidly growing region. 
      CDC Software also believes that DBC’s 
      offerings complement its process manufacturing focus and also broaden 
      the company’s solution and services offerings 
      in vertical industries such as in the discrete manufacturing, 
      construction, and services industries.
    
    
      Founded in 1994, DBC specializes in Enterprise Resource System and 
      Manufacturing Resource Planning, and currently provides IT solutions and 
      services to more than 90 clients in the financial services, 
      distribution, manufacturing, non-profit, professional services and 
      construction industries.
    
    
      “We are excited to add DBC’s 
      award-winning solutions and services to our global product and services 
      portfolio,” said Peter Yip, executive chairman 
      of CDC Software. “DBC’s 
      solutions and services highly complement our vertically-rich process 
      manufacturing solutions and we look forward to further expanding our 
      market presence for our Ross Enterprise and CDC Factory solutions there.”
