GlobalWise Announces Channel Sales Partnership With the eVero Corporation

COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - May 2, 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 has been executed with the eVero Corporation.

The eVero Corporation (www.evero.com) has been an information technology (IT) solutions provider exclusively to the Health and Human Services marketplace for over a decade. Their clients include government agencies, health care institutions, medical billing companies and large health service organizations that focus on developmentally disabled patients. The eVero objective is to provide their clients with the ability to obtain the same level of technology solutions that Fortune 500 companies receive, but at a fraction of the cost.

The eVero relationship is an expansion strategy within the developmentally disabled (DD) health care provider market, started with the previously announced Primary Solutions channel partnership. With this relationship, GlobalWise intends to replicate the success within the Ohio DD market into northeastern markets in which eVero serves, including New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Under the partnership, eVero will resell the Intellinetics flagship product, Intellivue™, as either a stand-alone system or as part of the company's current data management systems.

"We are very pleased to add Intellivue™ to our numerous data management solutions," said Christos G. Morris, CEO of eVero. "Intellivue™ is a natural extension of the data collection and management tools that eVero now offers to its clients. Intellivue™ takes information from scanned/archived paper or digital sources and renders it searchable and instantly accessible from virtually any Internet-capable device, including smartphones and tablets. The result is smarter documents creating smarter business. Intellinetics is a great partner with fantastic software and support which I see as a winning combination with eVero and our go-to-market strategy."

"We are excited to add the eVero Corporation to our Channel Partner program," stated William J. "BJ" Santiago, CEO of GlobalWise. "Evero has a proven, solid track record for providing low-cost IT solutions to the developmentally disabled health care providers in the northeast. The document-intensive nature of these service providers creates a myriad of opportunities for application of the Intellivue™ system. We are excited that eVero, a recognized subject matter expert in this industry, has chosen the Intellivue™ system as their overall document management solution."
