CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation and a provider of industry-specific enterprise software products and services, and Hitachi Joho, a 51 percent majority held subsidiary of Hitachi Corporation, Japan, announce that Hitachi Joho intends to resell Ross Enterprise products in Japan. This is the latest move in CDC Software's plan to expand its operations in Japan, the world's second largest economy.

CDC Software and Hitachi Joho expect to complete a definitive agreement with respect to the implementation of this strategic alliance during the second quarter of 2008. Under this agreement, the parties intend that Hitachi Joho will resell Ross Enterprise solutions in Japan and the overseas subsidiaries of Japanese companies targeting the Food and Beverage, Chemical and Life Sciences industry segments. CDC Software has been marketing Ross Enterprise applications in the Japanese market for more than 10 years.
