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 provide an overview of Intellinetics' history and
current position in the ECM industry.
The Intellinetics' flagship ECM platform, Intellivue™,
represents a new industry benchmark in making the promise of ECM a
simple to attain, affordable reality by combining the power of the
Cloud with on-demand solution templates and user-focused design.
Intellivue™ provides clients with the ability to access and manage
every piece of content they produce or receive, including but not
limited to paper documents, digital content, database print streams
and e-mail. The data is accessible from virtually any PC, laptop,
tablet or smartphone from anywhere in the world.
Through its cloud-based Intellivue™ product line and unique
Channel / OEM distribution model, Intellinetics is prepared to
dominate in the underserved small-to-mid sized business
marketplace. The Company's position reflects the entrepreneurial
vision and innovation of its founders, which served as catalysts
for Intellinetics' evolution from an early pioneer to a
recognizable player in the ECM industry.
In 1994, father and son founders Michael and Matthew Chretien
formed Intellinetics, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio. Leveraging Michael's
25-year law enforcement career combined with Matthew's IT and
operational backgrounds, Intellinetics provided IT consulting,
document storage systems and project-specific software development.
In 1995, the entrepreneurs won their first consulting contract with
the Ohio State Highway Patrol to provide a more sophisticated
solution to their 1950s era records management system. This marked
the beginning of the modern-day Intellinetics, which began to
transition itself from records content storage consulting toward
becoming a software development firm focused on enterprise-wide
content management.
From mid-1990 to early 2000, Intellinetics focused on business
"intelligence" and developed industry-first redaction-enabled
technology for the Ohio State Highway Patrol, a development that
garnered national recognition. This new redaction-enabled software
won the Technology Award of Excellence and continued the Company's
software development path toward an ECM system that could be used
as an enterprise-wide document management solution. During this
formation timeframe, the Intellinetics customer base evolved beyond
law enforcement to government contracts and commercial clients.
From 2001 through 2007, Intellinetics continued to focus on
software development, refinement, customer expansion and increasing
sales. From 2007 through the beginning of 2010, Intellinetics was
awarded two Ohio Innovation Loans to accelerate its software
migration from a more traditional client-server premise-based
solution to Web-based services optimized for cloud delivery. This
transformation is foundational to Intellinetics' success and
timing. As the proliferation of "smartphone" mobile devices were
becoming a more viable business tool, the Intellinetics software
was being optimized for access from any Internet-enabled hardware
device.
Today, with the Company's technology migration to the "cloud"
complete, Intellinetics is rapidly becoming an aggressive player in
the growing ECM industry, which Gartner estimates will exceed $5.7
billion by 2014 with compounded annual growth rates of 10.1%. The
Intellivue™ ECM platform is now being distributed through a variety
of direct sales and value-added resellers or channels throughout
the private and public sectors. Leveraging its industry leading
position, Intellinetics will capture emerging growth opportunities
by driving the ECM economic benefits to the private and public
sectors in the underserved small-to-mid sized business market.
