(OTCBB:CBQI) announced today that it has established a software development consortium in China to provide a wider range of strategic software outsourcing services for clients in the United States and China. This initiative will increase CBQ's ability to fill large outsourcing software-development orders. In addition, this consortium will allow CBQ to complete large commercial outsourcing IT projects by assembling expert teams to meet the requirements of each project, manage projects from start-up to marketing, and link professionals with expertise, capital and other resources. Participants in the consortium, which will serve as a resource for the new CBQ Soft division, include companies in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xi'an and Beijing--Topsoft, Inc. in Shanghai, one of the three largest software companies in China with 20 branch offices throughout China; Sinosun Technology in Shenzhen; Xi'an Digital Communication Co., Ltd. in Xi'an; and Datang Software Technologies, Co., Ltd. in Beijing. Datang has over 400 software programmers, is a leader in telecommunications application software in China, and has obtained the ISO 9001-quality system certification. Its strategic partners include IBM, HP, Sun, Oracle, Cisco, Sybase, and Informix. In a separate agreement, Topsoft, Inc. agreed to sell software products from the United States made available by CBQ using its distribution channels (and, if needed, to convert such U.S. products into Chinese before marketing them.) The CBQ consortium will supplement the resources of EasySoft International, a CBQ subsidiary in Beijing that has performed outsourcing services for Daimler Chrysler, state governments, and other clients. "We are extremely excited about having access to the large and talented pool of Chinese IT professionals in several large cities in China. The software development market in China is exploding, and will serve not only as a resource for U.S. clients but as a rich target of opportunity for CBQ," said Bart S.

"The CBQ consortium, which we will be continually expanding, will allow the company to duplicate successful outsourcing business models such as Infosys that have used India as a base for software outsourcing."
