GlobalWise Announces Channel Sales Partnership With ImageSoft

COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - Apr 3, 2012) - GlobalWise Investments, Inc. (OTCBB: GWIV) (OTCQB: GWIV) (www.GlobalWiseInvestments.com) and its wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, Inc., a leading-edge technology company focused on the design, implementation and management of cloud-based Enterprise Content Management ("ECM") systems in both the public and private sectors, today announce a Channel Sales Partnership contract has been executed with ImageSoft, Inc.

ImageSoft (www.imagesoftinc.com) provides innovative content management solutions that enable organizations to operate more efficiently and effectively. Founded in 1996, ImageSoft provides high-end ECM software products to serve state and county governments, insurance, healthcare, court systems and educational institutions. ImageSoft has ECM clients within the United States, Canada and Mexico.

"We are very pleased to announce the addition of the Intellivue™ ECM Solution to our technology offering," said Scott Bade, ImageSoft President. "Intellivue will help us expand in several key markets where we already have a presence." Since 2000 ImageSoft, Inc. has been a Platinum partner of one of Gartner Magic Quadrant's top ECM companies. "Intellivue has focused on tight integration with key line-of-business applications, with an aggressive pricing strategy that fits a wide range of customers," concluded Mr. Bade.

"By partnering with Intellinetics, ImageSoft now has an affordable, cloud-based ECM solution for the small-to-mid sized client," stated William J. "BJ" Santiago, CEO of GlobalWise. "We expect this relationship will open many new doors for Intellinetics. In fact, even before contract signing we were already jointly working on client proposals. The Intellivue™ platform fills a void in the market for those clients who can only afford to spend under $100,000 for an ECM solution. I expect to see multiple client relationships as a result of this exciting new Channel Partner."
