GlobalWise Launches Intelli-Cloud(TM), a New Cloud-Based Service Offering

COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwired - Jul 22, 2013) - GlobalWise Investments, Inc. (OTCQB: GWIV) (OTCBB: GWIV) (the "Company") (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, is proud to announce the launch of their new Intelli-Cloud™ service offering.

Intelli-Cloud™ is powered by the company's flagship product Intellivue™ and delivers an improved strategy for offering document management solutions in a hosted environment, delivered over the Internet. Intelli-Cloud™ is designed for improved operational impact and workflow processes for small to medium businesses. Intelli-Cloud™ offers end-users (clients) over 200 on-demand workflow solution templates to address both horizontal and vertical processes within a variety of industries. For an affordable monthly subscription fee, clients can use the Intelli-Cloud™ service offerings to minimize the high capital, upfront computer-related hardware expenditures as well as benefit from enhanced security and disaster recovery features.

"Intelli-Cloud™ is the result of over 20 years of direct work with end-user clients to develop a 'best practice' approach. In the past, ECM was only used by the largest of Fortune 500 companies, but with Intelli-Cloud™, small to medium sized clients can start utilizing ECM solutions almost immediately," stated William J. "BJ" Santiago, President and CEO of GlobalWise. "We believe the Intelli-Cloud™ brand sets GlobalWise apart from our competition. With over 200 on-demand workflow solution templates, we are focused on giving our clients a competitive advantage for increased operational capability through improved Business Process Management (BPM) initiatives. Today, very few of our competition focuses on BPM for their customer base, especially within the SMB market. Also, with the ease of installation via the Internet, our clients see a return on investment almost immediately. Today Intelli-Cloud™ consists of our core service offering for document management solutions; however, it will also set the foundation for us to roll-out many more cloud-based offerings we believe our clients will utilize in the future."
