CDC Software Adds Six New Strategic Resellers As Part of Expansion Plans in India
BANGALORE, May 25, 2010 - CDC Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCS), a global provider of hybrid enterprise software applications and services, today announced it added six resellers from India and surrounding countries as part of its plans to expand sales significantly in India.
The new resellers are expected to help CDC Software expand its geographic footprint in India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Nepal. CDC Software’s Pivotal CRM solutions are already used by some of the leading brands in India including, Bharti AXA, CIBIL, Max New York Life Insurance, and TTK Services.
The new resellers for CDC Software’s solutions are:
• Datasisar will resell CDC eCommerce in India;
• EZone International will resell CDC Pivotal CRM and CDC Ross ERP in Bhutan and Nepal;
• Nector Consultancy Services will resell CDC Ross ERP in India to the process manufacturing markets;
• Providence Network and Solutions will resell CDC Pivotal CRM in Sri Lanka;
• Sunbridge Software Services will resell Ross ERP in India to its primary market in pharmaceutical manufacturing; and
• UMG will resell CDC Ross ERP in India to its primary market in government.

CDC Software is also in negotiations with Ranal Software to establish a reseller relationship for CDC Factory, a manufacturing operations management system, to the manufacturing markets including automotive, in India.
As part of its Strategic Cloud Investment Partner Program (SCIPP), CDC Software recently announced its investment in eBizNET, a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) supply chain execution solutions, and its strategic partnership where both companies are expected to resell each other’s products. eBizNET and its 7Hills consulting affiliate have a significant presence in India already. Under SCIPP, CDC Software plans to make minority investments in, and form strategic reselling partnerships with, companies offering cloud-based or point solutions which complement its enterprise solutions portfolio.
“We believe India holds dynamic growth opportunity for the enterprise software market and we expect these new strategic resellers and our partnership with eBizNET will make a significant impact to our sales goals there in the next few years,” said Nagaraja Prakasam, managing director for South and Southeast Asia, CDC Software. “These new partners are expected to help open up new markets for our products in India and surrounding countries. Given our success with our Pivotal CRM products in India, we expect our other products to have similar success as we believe they meet the needs of this region. We also are interested in investing in innovative cloud companies located in India or that have a strong presence here, as we did with our SCIPP investment in e-BizNET. With our sales strategy, along with our formidable product engineering operations in this country, we expect India will become a source for significant revenue-generation in the years ahead."
