(1888PressRelease) August 18, 2011 - CDC Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCS), a global provider of hybrid enterprise software applications and services, today announced that CDC CRM Solutions Pvt. Ltd., exclusive partner of CDC Software in India, and its customer, one of the leading banks in India, have won the "Best CRM Project" in the Fifth Asian Banker Technology Implementation Awards 2011 for CDC CRM Solutions' deployment of Pivotal CRM at one of India's largest banks.

Both companies received the award at The Hong Kong Jockey Club earlier this month in conjunction with the Asian Banker Summit 2011, one of the foremost annual meetings for decision makers in the financial services industry in the Asia Pacific region. The awards program was managed by the Asian Banker, a leading provider of strategic intelligence on the financial services industry, and moderated by prominent global bankers, consultants and academics.

The award, one of the most prestigious of its kind in the financial services market in Asia, was won on the basis of implementing Pivotal CRM, which features flexible architecture that allows multiple users to access the bank's network. Pivotal CRM is also integrated with the bank's SMS gateway, the telephony systems and the bank's email server for a multi-channel approach to CRM communication. The solution leverages on the existing customer base and provides the relationship managers with a 360 degree view of the customer. The system makes suggestions on possible additional revenue areas and disseminates the information to interested parties and other business lines that may be better equipped to service them.

According to Nagaraja Prakasam, managing director, South and Southeast Asia for CDC Software, "We are honored for Pivotal CRM and its customer implementation to be recognized by this prestigious financial services award organization. Pivotal CRM is built on a highly flexible, Microsoft.net-based architecture, with a rich set of CRM capabilities that support best-in-class mobile sales functionality and multi-language, global sales and marketing campaigns. This award not only validates our commitment to product innovation but also illustrates how Pivotal CRM adds value to our customer's success."

"We are happy that efforts in enabling our customer's customer-centric vision have been recognized at this prestigious Pan Asia forum," said Vineet Kalucha, executive director at CDC CRM Solutions.
