CDC, c360 and MVI

c360 Solutions, now a division of CDC Software, has made its adopted parent company very happy indeed, just five months after its acquisition. CDC representative released figures today showing that c360 had exceeded key business objectives set for the firm.

Since April 2006, c360 has reportedly succeeded in

• adding 95 new channel partners;

• reaching total cumulative c360 licenses of over 190,000;

• achieving maintenance renewal rates of over ninety percent;

• adding five new products through licensing and acquisition; and

• achieving revenues of thirty percent above budgeted figures for third quarter 2006.

In fact, the proud parent company was also able to announce last week that CDC acquired MVI Technology as well. This acquisition is structured with a three-year earn-out for the MVI management team; the team will remain with CDC Software.

MVI Technology bills itself as “a leading provider of Real-Time Performance Management solutions and services specialized for the unique requirements of the food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and chemicals industries.” The MVI system seeks to enable manufacturers to merge automated shop floor data, quality process control and manufacturing performance dashboards.

CDC sees this move as an expansion of the firm’s customer base into strategic industries while generally broadening company offerings with complementary applications and services. CDC PR has it that the MVI applications will directly complement CDC Software’s Ross ERP, Ross supply chain management and Ross menterprise performance management solutions.

MVI Technology, an enterprise software company with offices in the US and UK, has been in the consumer products manufacturing sector for fifteen years. Among MVI’s clientele of more than eighty are Allied Bakeries, Bio Product Laboratories, Calypso Soft Drinks, Coors Breweries, Heinz, Genentech, Marsan Foods, Premiere Foods and Tetley GB.
