GlobalWise Announces Its MarketCommand^TM Launch

A Powerful, Simple Tool to Drive Recurring Revenue for the Imaging Channel

COLUMBUS, OH – (Marketwire – January 2, 2014) – GlobalWise Investments, Inc. (OTCQB: GWIV) (OTCBB: GWIV) (the “Company”) (www.GlobalWiseInvestments.com) and its wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, Inc., a provider of cloud-based and premise-based Enterprise Content Management (“ECM”) systems in both the public and private sectors, today announced the launch of its new MarketCommand^TM partner program.

MarketCommand^TM is a program for dealers in the print and imaging channel that generates additional revenues from the SMB office automation market. MarketCommand^TM packages the GlobalWise cloud-based IntelliCloud^TM platform as a feature of the multi-function devices sold by dealers on the program. As a result, MarketCommand^TM can increase partner revenue from stronger device sales, IntelliCloud^TM activation fees and increasing recurring revenue from customers that utilize more than the initial capacity– all without complexity in sales, operations, or service delivery.

The MarketCommand^TM program reflects a tremendous collaborative effort from our team. We gained in-depth feedback from our first generation industry partners to determine what business, technical, market positioning and service changes were needed to build a robust Intellinetics-based document solutions practice. Every aspect of MarketCommand^TM reflects the cumulative feedback and analysis from this process.

The MarketCommand^TM program delivers the simplicity our stakeholders were looking for in delivering document-centric business solutions as a feature of the multi-function devices they already sell. With MarketCommand^TM, IntelliCloud^TM’s solutions catalog is available via configurable icons from the device panel. MarketCommand^TM is initially being made available only to market leaders within the geographies served. We will begin on-boarding select partners in Q1 2014. Initial industry feedback has been very positive, and we anticipate expanding to a wider set of program partners in the coming months.
