ATLANTA, BIRMINGHAM UK, October 9, 2006 – CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and a provider of enterprise software applications, today announced that it has acquired MVI Technology, a leading provider of Real-Time Performance Management (RPM) solutions and services specialized for the unique requirements of the food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and chemicals industries.

The acquisition of MVI expands CDC Software’s customer-base in strategic industries and broadens the company’s overall offerings with highly complementary applications and services that are proven in the mid-market and with larger, tier-1 companies. The acquisition is structured with a 3-year earn-out for the MVI management team which will remain with CDC Software.

The MVI system is the first RPM solution specifically designed for food & beverage and consumer products industries. This innovative solution enables manufacturers to merge automated shop floor data, quality process control and manufacturing performance dashboards as part of improved visibility and continuous improvement campaigns supported by a Six Sigma process. These applications directly complement CDC Software’s Ross ERP (enterprise resource planning), Ross SCM (supply chain management) and Ross EPM (enterprise performance management) solutions. MVI has more than 80 customers including: Allied Bakeries, Bio Product Laboratories, Calypso Soft Drinks, Coors Breweries, Heinz, Genentech, Marsan Foods, Premiere Foods and Tetley GB. Three MVI customers, more than those of any other vendors of plant and factory software solutions, were recently recognized for excellent operations during the 2006 Best of British Manufacturing IT Awards ceremony. Mutual MVI and CDC Software customers include: Abbyland Foods, Berner Foods, Weetabix and other food processors around the globe. With the MVI solution, these companies have reported significant increases in production capacity and responsiveness to customers, as well as reductions in overhead and waste.

“This positively accretive acquisition creates immediate benefits to the bottom-line for CDC Software, as well as adding products and industry expertise for the benefit of our global customers,” said Eric Musser, president of CDC Software. “These proven solutions are a natural fit with our current enterprise applications and can deliver near-immediate value for our customers. By expanding the market reach for MVI through our global network of direct sales channels and franchise partners, we will also open the doors to many new sales opportunities, including large tier-1 companies. This acquisition will further strengthen our position as a leading global provider of industry solutions designed to address the evolving needs of process manufacturers.”

“We are very proud of the unique, innovative solutions we’ve created for process manufacturers and the value our customers have measured,” said Mark Sutcliffe, CEO of MVI. “The synergy of this acquisition is compelling because it addresses the major critical areas of process manufacturing. We are excited about the opportunity to join a global company that is such a major player in the enterprise software markets. I’m confident that our combined solutions will create one of the most cost-effective and comprehensive alternatives for our target industries.”

“As a customer of both CDC Software and MVI, we are very happy to see this combination take place,” said Gary Gold, corporate vice president of Berner Foods. “The Ross ERP and SCM applications from CDC Software and the RPM applications from MVI have enabled us to set new marks in terms of operational visibility, control and efficiency, as well as customer service and satisfaction. With these applications we have the tools needed to complete our projects and measure and monitor our improvements. These vendors have each demonstrated a profound understanding of the challenges we face as a food and beverage processor, and a strong commitment to our success. This seems like a match just waiting to happen.”
