GWIV Turns Data Overload into Dollars
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a complex name for a simple problem. The digital age has created an explosion of information and data. Trying to effectively manage that information and data has proven to be a real problem for business. Currently, up to 85% of a company’s data is unusable; scattered throughout different areas of an organization.
ECM is a burgeoning industry that allows businesses to manage and control their information and data. Subsequently, businesses achieve better workflow and efficiencies, avoid redundancy, and even enhance security. By better managing information and data, businesses can maximize internal resources to improve customer service, increase sales, increase margins, and operate more efficiently. Effective content management can turn useless data into dollars.
Because of the growing need, the ECM industry is projected to exceed $5.1 billion by 2014 with a compound annual growth rate of 9.5%. These projections bode well for companies that deliver ECM services.
GlobalWise Investments is making its mark in this sector and is poised to capture a significant market share of fast growing ECM industry. The company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, delivers industry-leading software that provides cloud based solutions for today’s business demands. The company’s flagship platform, Intellivue, gives clients the ability to access and manage the content of every scanned document, file, spreadsheet, email, photo, audio file, or video tape – virtually anything that can be digitized – in their entire company from any PC, laptop, tablet, or Smartphone from anywhere in the world.
GlobalWise’s management is focused on the underserved, small to mid-size business market and with over 150 years experience continues to create solutions that deliver value and profitability to this market. Investors that want to participate in the rapid growth of the ECM industry should consider GlobalWise Investments. Their data overload solutions could put dollars in the profit column.

GWIV MarketCommand™ Program Featured on The VAR Guy Blog’s Channel Program Roundup
In an article dated January 9, 2014, author Charlene O’Hanlon made note of some recent updates in channel partner news and information. The recently unveiled brainchild of GlobalWise Investments’ wholly owned cloud subsidiary, Intellinetics, Inc., the MarketCommand™ program was highlighted in the article by Ms. O’Hanlon.
Noting that the feature is “a new channel partner program to drive Intellinetics’ cloud- and premises-based enterprise content management systems through print and imaging resellers”, the author also said that the intention behind its design and release was to provide print and imaging vendors with a revenue-generating source that is based on GlobalWise Investments’ proprietary Intelli-Cloud™ platform. The cloud solutions company is targeting the burgeoning enterprise content management industry, which Gartner Technology estimates will reach $5.7 billion by 2014’s year-end and then compound annually at 9.5%.
As data management continues to take more of a center stage in business operations across all sectors, more companies are opting to store their data in the cloud. Cloud-based data storage and management is becoming increasingly attractive on account of its security as well as affordability—with the elimination of a company’s need to no longer rely on on-site servers for data management, a company saves money on software updates, installation and maintenance fees, equipment update costs, and more. For client convenience, however, GlobalWise Investments also offers on-site enterprise content management options, so that it is not limited in its market reach.
The company’s Intelli-Cloud™ platform is powered by its flagship product, Intellivue™. With Intelli-Cloud™, businesses are able to access over 200 on-demand workflow solution templates for document management and enhance their operations and workflows; the platform is designed for the needs of small-sized and medium-sized businesses across a multitude of industries. The platform is also affordable, as it only requires a cost-effective monthly subscription fee.
Developed according to the collective feedback of GlobalWise Investments’ first-generation industry partners, the MarketCommand™ program incorporates the partners’ thoughts on what business, technical, market positioning, and service improvements were needed for greater effectiveness and impact. With the program, as Ms. O’Hanlon notes, dealers can “increase their revenue from stronger device sales and IntelliCloud activation fees”.
While many enterprise content management industry-based companies target large corporations as clients, GlobalWise Investments puts a spin on this strategy and targets small-sized and medium-sized businesses instead. These markets’ needs are largely unserviced, leaving a sizable gap for the company to fill, and many vendors have recognized the innovation and value of Intellivue, with leading vendors such as Lexmark, Samsung, CVS/pharmacy, and DELL having integrated their hardware into the platform.
Backed by the insights of an experienced management team with decades of industry involvement, GlobalWise Investments looks to become a strong player in the growing enterprise content management marketplace.

GlobalWise Investments and its wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, a provider of cloud-based and premise-based Enterprise Content Management (“ECM”) systems in both the public and private sectors, today reported the launch of its new MarketCommand™ partner program.
A program for dealers in the print and imaging channel that generates additional revenues from the SMB office automation market, MarketCommand™ packages the GlobalWise cloud-based IntelliCloud™ platform as a feature of the multi-function devices sold by dealers on the program. The new, powerful program is designed to increase partner revenue from stronger device sales, IntelliCloud™ 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 company gained in-depth feedback from its 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™ reflects the cumulative feedback from partners.
The MarketCommand™ program cleverly delivers document-centric business solutions as a feature of the multi-function devices partners already sell. With MarketCommand™, IntelliCloud™’s solutions catalog is available via configurable icons from the device panel. MarketCommand™ is initially being made available only to market leaders within the geographies served. GlobalWise Investments will begin adding select partners to the program in Q1 2014. Initial industry feedback has been very positive, and the company anticipates expanding to a wider set of program partners in the coming months.

GWIV is Poised to Expand Its Share of the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Market
Outdated content management processes can leave businesses at a competitive disadvantage in the lightning-fast pace of the digital age. GlobalWise Investments, via its subsidiary Intellinetics, is a pioneering technology company that designs, implements, and manages industry-leading Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for this age.
With the company’s flagship platform Intellivue, clients can access and manage the contents of virtually anything that can be digitized in their enterprise (scanned documents, spreadsheets, emails, photos, audio files, video tapes) from any device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, personal computer) and from anywhere in the world. By combining automatic content management, superior virtualization, and an open, service-oriented design that uses Web services, Intellivue typifies a revolutionary solution and a new industry benchmark for ECM end-users in the public and private sectors.
GlobalWise’s cutting-edge solutions and open, cloud-based computing software are used by major hardware vendors that appreciate the value of ECM, and the company continues to capture additional customers with constant technological advances like its new IntellivueGX Capture Module.
This software release extends GlobalWise’s reach into the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) market. The new capabilities are expected to enable more content to be captured faster from the company’s IntelliCloud users, creating more value for the end-user businesses while driving more incremental revenue from the firm’s service delivery. Licensing fees are also more affordable with this feature than with other tools, creating an appealing option for the price-sensitive SME market targeted by most of GlobalWise’s channel partners.
However, GlobalWise is not satisfied with simply being a participant in this fast growing ECM industry, which is expected to exceed $5.7 billion by 2014. To maintain a competitive lead, GlobalWise also offers the most up-to-date and promising data storage solutions to small and mid-sized businesses in order to capture more of the virtually untapped, compliance-heavy markets they operate in.

GWIV Targets Untapped Markets with ECM Solutions
Today’s information age is fast-paced and demanding, and businesses and organizations are finding it difficult to match its pace. Technological challenges such as unstructured data have been found to keep businesses of all sizes from optimized efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately resulting in duplicative work efforts, sluggish work processes, reduced profitability, and decreased overall organizational effectiveness.
GlobalWise Investments, a leading-edge technology solutions company, fills this gap by providing cutting-edge enterprise content management solutions (ECM). The company’s content management software helps businesses organize their unstructured data and streamline their work processes so that they may operate faster, leaner, and smarter. ECM solutions represent a clear answer to the data management problems that businesses face, as evidenced by the numbers—Gartner Technology estimates the ECM industry will exceed to $5.7 billion by the end of 2014, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.5%.
Working via its wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, Inc., GlobalWise Investments leverages its management and key department heads’ extensive combined experience of over 60 years in the ECM industry. The subsidiary’s flagship product, Intellivue, raises industry standards for top-of-the-line data management by combining advanced virtualization and automated content management with an open and service-oriented architecture that uses Web services. Many have recognized the pioneering nature and value of Intellivue, with leading vendors such as Lexmark, Samsung, CVS/pharmacy, and DELL having integrated their hardware into the platform.
Aside from enhancing business effectiveness and efficiency, GlobalWise Investments’ ECM technology is offered in cloud-based and on-premise server formats. Many businesses are turning to the cloud for the benefits it brings in costs savings and reduced security risks. Tapping the data-storing power of the cloud, organizations are able to save on expenditures for software updates, hardware and equipment, installation and maintenance costs, and more. Additionally, since data is stored on one central server, generally speaking the risk of data security being compromised is greatly reduced.
Many ECM software companies focus on just Tier 1 and Tier 2 markets, which consists of large companies and organizations. GlobalWise Investments is looking to become a major player in the ECM market by targeting the strongly untapped Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets, consisting of small- and medium-sized enterprises. In addition to currently being underserved, these markets also face heavy pressures from various compliance requirements to which they must adhere. With its open cloud-based computing software, GlobalWise Investments seeks to fill the needs of these businesses and make a mark in the burgeoning ECM solutions marketplace.

GWIV Centers Sights on Alluring Cloud to Provide Service to Growing ECM Industry
GlobalWise Investments is the developer of cloud-based computing software designed to mitigate content lost in the abyss of an organization’s unstructured data. The company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Intellinetics, for more than 20 years has provided and fine-tuned this content management software to help organizations whittle down their information overload in order to streamline data and operate quickly and more efficiently.
Cloud computing has become a wide-spread, commonly used means of data organization primarily because of its convenient ability to store data. Furthermore, authorized users can access this information from any computer or Internet-connected device from anywhere in the world.
It’s also cost effective. Cloud computing cuts the need for pricey software upgrades and liberates storage capabilities from hard drive restrictions, which inherently are encumbered with equipment, installation, and maintenance costs.
Since cloud software exists in a centralized server, it’s one of the most secure means of data storage – information on the cloud generally cannot be compromised.
By eliminating mounds of paperwork, cloud computing not only saves printing and paper costs, but is also environmentally friendly. As Intellinetics notes on its website, studies show that 80 percent of corporate documents are on paper, wasting time, space, and money.
The allure of cloud computing is considerable, which is further evidenced by the rapid pace of the growing enterprise content management (ECM) space. While major market players in the ECM space focus on Tier 1 and Tier 2 markets, GlobalWise and Intellinetics have found great opportunity in providing cloud-based solutions to the underserved Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets.

GWIV Posts Q3 Financial Results
GlobalWise Investments, a provider of cloud-based Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions through wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, has reported its third-quarter financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Total revenues decreased 46 percent to $381,078, as compared to $711,737 for the comparable quarter of 2012. The company primarily attributes the year-over-year decreases to software licenses with and without professional services and consulting services.
Gross profits were $266,162, as compared to $484,205 for the third quarter last year, representing a decrease of 45 percent primarily as a result of the decrease in revenues.
“While our revenue growth has slowed down, public awareness of cloud-based computing, storage and retrieval is helping our marketing efforts to the smaller SMB clients. Our software as a service (SAAS) offering Intelli-Cloud™ is sold through our expanding base of channel partners that creates a low-cost sales delivery mechanism coupled with a high-margin software product. The recent conferences we attended, is helping us broaden our message to a larger group, as well as increase our number of channel partners,” Matthew Chretien, interim president and CEO of GlobalWise stated in the news release.
GlobalWise reported a net loss of $541,412 for the third quarter of 2013, compared to a net loss of $492,607 for the third quarter of 2012.
Chretien noted increasing strength in the company’s channel partnerships, but said that revenues in the future will continue to reflect the company’s sales transition.
“Our channel partnerships with companies like MWAi are gaining traction and I was honored to participate in the 2013 Innovation Fair in Japan with the rest of the Technology United members. I am enthusiastic regarding the expected increased performance and commitment from our channel partners, but still expect fluctuations in revenue as we evolve from historically premised-based software solutions sold over a long sales cycle to cloud-based solutions,” he says.

GWIV Eyes Significant ECM Market Share with Focus on Road Less Traveled
Intellinetics, wholly owned subsidiary of GlobalWise Investments, provides electronic content management (ECM) solutions to enable companies to operate efficiently and effectively, streamlining workflow via cloud or premise-based content management software. Utilizing this technology, documents and records can freely move through an operation.
The company’s flagship platform, Intellivue™, boasts the advantages of cloud computing technology (cost effective, secure, environmentally friendly), but also defines a new benchmark by combining advanced virtualization and automated content management with an open and service-oriented architecture using web services.
Leading hardware vendors such as Lexmark, Samsung, CVS/pharmacy, and DELL are leveraging the Intellinetics model by directly integrating their hardware into the Intellivue cloud platform. Intellinetics anticipates that these are just a few of many businesses that recognize the power of efficient, cloud-based ECM.
The burgeoning ECM industry is expected to top $5.1 billion by 2013 with a compound annual growth rate of 9.5 percent, according to Gartner research. IBM Market Insights predicts that the adoption of cloud computing is on track to grow by 26 percent CAGR between 2010 -2013.
While major market players in the ECM space target large Tier 1 and Tier 2 markets, GlobalWise plans to capture its market share of these growing segments by way of a less traveled route, and has directed Intellinetics’ focus on the underserved and compliance-heavy Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets to serve small to mid-size businesses.

GWIV Announces Launch of Its New IntellivueGX Capture Module
GlobalWise Investments, a company that focuses on the development, implementation, and management of cloud-based Enterprise Content Management systems in the public and private sectors, today announced the release of a new capture model for its IntellivueGXTM platform.
The new IntellivueGX capture module utilizes EMC’s most up-to-date Pixtools ISIS software interface for scanning device support and image processing. The software enables stable, reliable communication with scanning devices. The capture model is capable of extending support to document scanning, direct content import, advanced image processing, and data extraction into both IntelliCloud and on-premise configurations.

Furthermore, the capture model can be used for the application of advanced image processing and data extraction of images that are scanned by multi-function devices. That eliminates a client or partner need for having to install or license third-party add-ons per device and subsequently having to deal with the complications, costs, and training requirements associated with those installations.
This capture model sports features that are sure to be attractive to existing and prospective clients. GlobalWise’s software team developed it over an 18-month development period, from initial product conception to product release.
“I am very proud of our software engineering team for their hard work and creativity in developing the IntellivueGX capture module,” stated Matthew Chretien, Interim President and CEO of GlobalWise. “This software release accelerates and extends our reach into the SMB market by providing high-volume digital content capture that is easy to deploy with a broad set of features. The licensing fees are more affordable with ISIS versus other tools which create an attractive option for the price sensitive SMB market targeted by most of our channel partners. The new capabilities are expected to enable more content to be captured faster within our growing base of IntelliCloud users, creating a win-win – more value for the end user businesses while driving more incremental revenue from our service delivery.”

GlobalWise Investments, via wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, has developed a unique ECM platform to provide document management tools to lower cost and risks in an accessible and easily deployed manner.
Intellinetics’ all-inclusive Intellivue™ platform streamlines operations and allows multiple users within the workplace to simultaneously access documents stored within the platform, reducing time and money wasted on document management.
Intellivue covers the entire lifecycle of a document, from the initial upfront capture to long-term compliance. The content management software is deployed via the cloud or premise, enabling documents and records to flow between necessary endpoints.
“After Intellivue implementation you drive labor out of the process of finding documents, sharing them, reproducing them,” Matt Chretien, Intellinetics’ co-founder, president and CEO explains in a company video. “You reduce cycle times allowing more intelligent decisions faster at all levels of the organization. You bring a level of compliance so auditing functions on the back end can be reduced or in some cases even eliminated. In the end, costs are driven out of how they work, compliance levels are increased, and overall service levels have been dramatically improved.”

GWIV and the Growing Case for Cloud Computing
One of the most striking things about the integration of cloud computing into daily personal and business life is the fact that so many people have used the technology without knowing much or anything about it, or even realizing that such a thing exists. The idea and its implementation long preceded public awareness, developing from nebulous notions of computing as a generally available utility, to the modern cloud’s increasing realization through advanced communication and processing technologies.
Today, although we are still only scratching the surface of its almost unlimited potential, cloud computing has become a major component in a growing percentage of businesses, both large and small. In spite of significant, if sometimes misguided concerns about security and the loss of IT control, the case for cloud computing is becoming almost impossible for competitive businesses to ignore, including a string of compelling operational benefits:
• Communication flexibility, where data and functionality is available whenever and wherever needed
• Rapid and affordable access to advanced processing and storage capabilities, with small up-front investment
• Easy growth or downsizing potential, allowing you to expand or reduce usage as business changes
• Reliability, with significant off-site resources available to quickly address technical problems
• Low maintenance costs, through shared physical and human resources
• Consistent and predictable costs, making business planning far easier
• Automatic upgrades as new technologies and applications become available
All of these benefits are incorporated in the cloud-based version of Intellivue from Intellinetics, a subsidiary of GlobalWise Investments. Intellivue, the company’s flagship content management framework, offers advanced ECM (Electronic Content Management) functionality to help companies manage and access huge volumes of documents. Intellivue’s cloud capabilities allow secure and flexible access to critical data from anywhere in the world, day or night, 365 days a year.

A user conference hosted by Primary Solutions, the Solutions Exchange Conference has over 350 people in attendance. Attendees at tomorrow’s conference are expected to include representatives of the County Boards of Developmental Disabilities from all 88 counties in Ohio and service providers serving the developmentally disabled community. The conference will highlight state-of-the-art software technology that enables organizations to work more efficiently, improve the bottom line, and deliver great service. GlobalWise has integrated its Intellivue™ software with two of Primary Solutions’ most popular software offerings, Gatekeeper and Advisor.
“The Solutions Exchange Conference is a fantastic forum for us to demonstrate the collaborative software tools we have created with Primary Solutions,” stated Matthew Chretien, Interim President and CEO of GlobalWise. “There will be hundreds of users in attendance who will see our Intellivue™ software and hopefully will become our new clients. Our team will demonstrate the cost-effective document management solutions of Intellivue™ and how seamlessly we have integrated our software with Gatekeeper and Advisor. We offer the County Boards of Developmental Disabilities and service providers serving the developmentally disabled community a complete software package to manage their client document needs. I am excited about the new opportunities the Solutions Exchange conference can bring to our company.”

GWIV Takes Advantage of High-Speed Cloud Technology
Cloud technology is rapidly changing the way we view business and personal information processing. No longer is it a question of how much hardware and software a company can afford to purchase and maintain, but simply how much functionality and flexibility is needed. Companies can and do, of course, develop and maintain their own private cloud systems, but today virtually any hardware and software requirements can be provided using independent cloud providers, integrated as needed with in-house systems. It’s remarkable how fast the transition to cloud storage and processing has taken place, but it has all been made possible by a more fundamental transition: The development of high-speed digital communications technology.
Although the transmission of digital data can be traced back to the first telegraph systems, modern digital communication is usually associated with computers, the digital brains of the electronic age. But information flow was limited by transmission speed. The earliest communication between pre-computer electronic equipment was measured in only tens of bits per second. As computer technology developed, transmission to remote terminals grew with it, making the processing of big-box computers available to a wider audience.
Hundreds of bits per second in the 1950s grew to hundreds and then thousands of bits per second in the 60s and 70s using advanced acoustic couplers and phone lines. The 1980s saw tens of thousands of bits per second, and the increased use of fiber optics, versus copper wire transmission, greatly increased communication potential. With the advent of personal computers in the 80s and 90s came the need for fast home-based communication. Dial-up modems got faster, but the best dial-up modems were normally limited to about 50 thousand bits per second. Today, broadband systems offer even average home users millions of bits per second, approaching a billion bits per second in some cities. And non-home systems offer data communication at far higher speeds.
For GlobalWise Investments and its Intellinetics subsidiary, this still-growing ability to communicate has opened the door to a world of opportunity. Their cloud-based ECM (Electronic Content Management) system lets commercial and non-commercial organizations of all types gain quick and secure access to huge document databases from anyplace in the world, any time of the day or night, even through mobile devices. No longer do companies have to invest in their own hardware and software to store and track documents that could otherwise easily get lost in physical storage. High-speed and flexible cloud communication puts the information where it is needed, any time it is needed, without the huge up-front investment.

Anyone else see the FINS that $GWIV released? This is getting VERY CHEAP, Load the Boat with everything you have got CHEAP!
GWIV Reports Second Quarter 2013 Earnings
GlobalWise Investments yesterday reported its financial results for the quarter ending June 30th, 2013.
The company’s total revenues for the quarter were $581,164. This represents a 35% decrease from last year, when total revenues were $887,285. GlobalWise attributes this to decreases in revenues from software licenses with professional services and consulting services.
Second quarter gross profits were $398,801 this year compared to $597,123 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of 33%. This was primarily a result of the decrease in revenues.
GlobalWise’s costs of revenues were $182,363 in 2013’s second quarter and $290,162 in 2012’s second quarter, representing a decrease of 37%. The lower cost of revenues is primarily attributable to a decrease in third-party costs. As a result, gross margins were 69% and 67% for 2013 and 2012, respectively – an increase of 2%.
Total operating expenses for this year’s second quarter were $766,481. Last year, they were $680,062 during the second quarter, representing an increase of 13%. As a result, GlobalWise reported a net loss of $408,907 for the second quarter of 2013 compared to a net loss of $155,250 for the second quarter of 2012.
Matthew Chretien, President and CEO of GlobalWise, stated, “While there continues to be much room for improvement, I’m very pleased with certain aspects of our operational performance during the quarter ended June 30th, 2013. We continue to develop and expand our software as a service revenue stream through our expanding network of channel partners. As we continue down that path, we expect to continue to see fluctuations in revenue that reflect the net impact of channel partner-specific sales plans and priorities. While subscriber growth through software as a service delivery is a key strategic goal, our channel partners also are able to sell premise-based solutions. Thus, quarter to quarter variations in revenue sources are expected and reflect different channel partner-specific strategies and results.”
“Over the long term, we expect software as a service will continue to increase as a percentage of total revenue,” he continued. “As an indication of the anticipated change in our revenue stream, at December 31, 2011, we had eight customers subscribing to software as a service and at December 31, 2012, we had 231 customers subscribing to software as a service, with an increase to 357 customers subscribing to software as a service by June 30, 2013.”

They have clearly demonstrated they understand the challenges our clients face with excessive paper dependency and are committed to alleviating that struggle. IntellivueTM provides the document management solution that our clients have been struggling to find – and the integration creates a seamless system that clients are comfortable using.

Additionally, they now can access those documents from anywhere they have an Internet connection with a high-level of security. We are very excited to continue our long-standing partnership with Primary Solutions.”

The company’s flagship platform, Intellivue, represents a new industry benchmark and game-changing solution by enabling clients to access and manage the content of every scanned document, file, spreadsheet, email, photo, audio file, or video tape in their enterprise from any PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone from anywhere in the world.

GWIV Meets the Growing Requirements of Globalization
In an increasingly globalized economy, where even small businesses can have critical overseas links, efficient resource management and communication can become an IT nightmare. Global business requires around-the-clock worldwide access to both data and complex software functionality. For traditional client-based IT operations, the resulting communication, service, and maintenance issues can become too much to handle. Globalization is one of the reasons that cloud technology is on the front burner for companies and non-commercial organizations all over the world.
GlobalWise Investments, and its Intellinetics subsidiary, uses cloud technology to offer client organizations of all sizes one of the most fundamental capabilities, Enterprise Content Management (ECM). Their easy to integrate ECM system provides access, using strict security controls, to large volumes of documents from anywhere in the world, on a 24/7 basis, including via mobile devices. Even organizations operating on a local basis can find themselves buried in documents, with a high percentage of potentially valuable information essentially lost, trapped as unstructured data. Tremendous amounts of time can be and frequently are lost to the search for buried documents. ECM is meant to solve the problem, and Intellinetics’ content management software, also available for deployment in a non-cloud version, stands out, delivering real economic and operational value by enabling documents and records to flow freely when and where they need to.
The GlobalWise/Intellinetics ECM solution, called Intellivue, can be integrated with a range of third-party document processing hardware and software, allowing easy document capture and automated indexing. The company has already partnered with a number of key document copier and processing companies to make the move to comprehensive document capturing and control as seamless as possible. And, although GlobalWise solutions can be used by the biggest corporations and organizations, the company is unique in its ability to cost effectively serve small/medium size operations, a largely underserved community.

“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,” commented 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.”
Mr. Santiago continued, “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.”

GWIV Leverages Intellevue™ Cloud Technology to Operate in Multi-Billion Dollar ECM Market
Globalwise Investments, through wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, is focused on the rapidly growing Enterprise Content Management (ECM) industry, which is expected to top $5.1 billion this year, boasting a compound annual growth rate of 9.5 percent.
GWIV’s strategy is to focus on the underserved and compliance-laden Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets (small to mid-size business) while other major players in the ECM space focus their resources on Tier 1 and Tier 2 markets (large businesses).
The company leverages Intellinetics’ flagship platform, Intellivue™ cloud platform, which offers a game-changing approach by taking advanced virtualization and automated content management and combing it with an open and service-oriented architecture using Web services. Big-name hardware vendors such as Lexmark, Samsung, CVS/pharmacy, and Dell have already integrated their hardware into the Intellivue platform.
What makes the company’s cloud computing technology unique is its integral value in the business age. Intellivue allows users to access data and documents from any computer or Internet-connected device. This saves the need for in-office filing cabinets, paperwork, and other printed documents, as well as eliminates the need for software upgrades. Cloud computing also frees storage capabilities from hard drive constraints and provides a secure location on a centralized server.

GWIV and the Communication Revolution
The story of civilization is largely the story of communication, of how information has been passed from person to person, or group to group. From the development of complex verbal and then written language, to hand-printed and then press-printed books, to the telegraph and telephone, not forgetting pictures, photographs, and moving pictures, and finally radio and television, it all seems to be prologue for what is happening today. We still have language and books, telephones, radio, and television, but the fact is that the vast digital network we know as the Internet is becoming the dominant backbone of communication, and is gradually replacing all of the forms that have come before.
Today we routinely talk and message over the Internet, and use it to send and publish pictures and videos. Books, a form that has been around since the invention of papyrus, are now transmitted and displayed digitally. Telephone communication is increasingly VoIP or through services such as Skype. Radio and television is more and more likely to be Internet based, with some families doing the greatest part of their television viewing using services like Netflix. Even commercial theaters are now downloading and displaying movies and other content digitally.
A major part of this communication revolution is cloud technology, the ability to have data stored and processed remotely, greatly increasing the functionality of small mobile devices. By giving distant users instant access to enormous sets of centralized data and processing power, cloud technology gives the Internet a new dimension, opening a world of new possibilities.
GlobalWise Investments, through its Intellinetics subsidiary, is an example of the power of the cloud. The company provides advanced ECM (Enterprise Content Management) capabilities to both large and small organizations, solutions that allow controlled access to large volumes of documents from remote sites via mobile devices. Using their system, an authorized employee can instantly access and process huge stores of documents on a 24/7 basis from anywhere in the world.

GWIV Focus on Fair Share of ECM Industry through Key Distribution Strategies
GlobalWise Investments operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Intellinetics, to execute Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for small to mid-sized businesses. The company has established a growth pattern by leveraging an aggressive sales distribution strategy and using evolving industry trends to its advantage.
Powered by its open cloud-based computing software, GWIV aims to capture market share in the growing ECM industry by offering innovative solutions applicable to a diverse line of markets; utilizing state-of-the-art technologies to keep pace with changes in the broader industry; and using open software and its experienced management as catalysts to further drive growth.
GWIV most recently secured a new channel sales partnership with Toshiba Business Solutions AZ/CO as part of its mission to grow in the private and public sector focusing on Managed Print Services (MPS) and Managed Services.
Intellinetics’ flagship platform, Intellivue™, helps clients access and manage virtually any document that can be digitized, including files, spreadsheets, e-mails, photo, audio file, or video tape. The product is deployed based on a capacity-based monthly subscription model vs. traditional per click charge industry standard models.
Intellivue is distributed through resell partners such as hardware manufacturers, value-added resellers (VAR), and independent software vendors (ISV), and OEM and ERP partners. Some of the leading names in the industry are already utilizing the company’s technology as a reseller, including Lexmark, Kodak, Samsung, Tiburon, Global Environmental Services, Electronic Business Machines, and more.
GWIV and The Future Of The Cloud
Cloud technology has exploded upon the world relatively recently, being increasingly accepted as a fundamental shift in the way that the power of computer processing and associated communications can be used. Various forms of cloud processing have begun to work their way into almost every industry, making it hard to consider the notion, also being increasingly accepted, that the term “cloud computing” could, in the not too distant future, effectively vanish. The disappearance of the term may or may not actually happen, but there seems to be little doubt that processing power and processed data will eventually become so completely decentralized as to make specific reference to the technology largely unnecessary.
The evolution is not unlike that of microcomputers, the integration of the processing and memory aspects of a computer onto a single microprocessor chip, making possible the small personal computers that created a global industry and changed our industrialized lifestyle. The technology is so common and pervasive today that the the term microcomputer, popular in the 1970s and 1980s, is now seldom used.
The potential of cloud technology to redefine the way we work with information is no less foundational. Already, cloud technology is revolutionizing the information user experience, driving the sale of tablets and other on-the-go devices. Although we still tend to depend upon keyboards for heavy volume input, interfaces will no doubt change, providing even greater user flexibility and mobility. Imagine a world where, through some hyper-advanced combination of cloud and device technologies, being connected to a world of processing power and information is as easy as putting on a shirt, with no keyboards, no screens, no speakers, and yet complete and instant input and output of all types whenever and wherever needed.
GlobalWise Investments and its Intellinetics subsidiary represent the beginning of that evolution. The company offers Intellivue, a sophisticated ECM (Enterprise Content Management) system that allows any organization to integrate document management and access capabilities with their existing systems. Most importantly, it can be used in a cloud-based configuration that provides secured access to company documents on a 24/7 basis from anywhere in the world. The idea is that the user won’t even have to think about the technology behind the capability, but will simply have all of the answers whenever and wherever needed.

GWIV Uses the Cloud to Bring Technologies Together
As one new technological direction after another is spawned, one thing is becoming clear: It is the combination of new technologies that results in the greatest change. Cloud technology is a prime example of this fact, since it is integrated with, or even enables, many other technologies. One of the greatest benefits of cloud-based applications is the ability to access both data and functionality anywhere and anytime. This leads, naturally, to a strong relationship with mobile device technology, a symbiotic relationship that encourages both cloud and mobile developments.
GlobalWise Investments makes abundant use of the relationship between cloud and mobile. The company, through its Intellinetics subsidiary, provides organizations of all sizes advanced ECM (Enterprise Content Management) capabilities that allow controlled access to large volumes of documents from remote sites through the use of mobile devices. In effect, it frees the company from the confines of its own systems, while providing superior security.
Their system, called Intellivue, is easily and flexibly integrated into existing organization systems, and is especially friendly for small to medium size businesses, a generally under-served market, because it requires no up-front costs. GlobalWise President and CEO, William J. “BJ” Santiago, described the benefits of the company’s business model:
“Many in the industry have called our flagship software a ‘channel changer’ because our user-friendly model is similar to the traditional per click charge standard, but introduces a fixed cost model that appeals to a wider customer base. Therefore, the end-user no longer has to worry about being charged more money for each mono (black and white), color or virtual image scan (i.e. Video, Audio, JPEG, PPT, Excel, etc.). Intellivue™ allows the end-user to scan both hard-copy and virtual images, as well as index, search, and retrieve archived data via the cloud, in the same model in which they buy their products today through their dealer. Instead of a per page or per click charge, there is simply a capacity based monthly subscription fee.”

GWIV and the Mobile World of Cloud Technology
New technologies, and ways of using them, have become remarkably commonplace. But, regardless of how actively a new idea is promoted, and regardless of how much money there is behind its introduction, it must ultimately fly with its own wings, providing a recognizable advantage to the end user. Unless it has true functional and economic value, it will inevitably perish under its own weight, a fate more usual than not in today’s rapidly changing marketplace.
In the case of cloud technology, although some of its aspects and applications have been tried and discarded, its underlying worth has been firmly established. Having functionality and data reside primarily in the cloud, an idea made possible only by modern advancements in communication and processing, is now clearly seen as having multiple advantages. It means platform independence, the ability to access whatever you need from virtually any device convenient to you at the time. It also means more, not less, security and stability, since large scale data centers can afford to implement the latest and most comprehensive combination of systems and support. And entry into the rich world of cloud capability can often be accomplished with minimal up-front capital expenditure, plus require far less long-term IT expense.
But perhaps more than anything else, the cloud is about mobility, not being chained to a physical collection of hardware and software. People are mobile by nature, and want the ability to get and manipulate information on the run, wherever they are, any time of the day or night. It’s a need that gave birth to cell phones and other mobile devices, and the driving force behind the rapid growth of cloud technology.
GlobalWise Investments and its Intellinetics subsidiary represent a perfect example of that need being addressed, through their Intellivue offering. Intellivue is a highly affordable ECM (Enterprise Content Management) system that allows any organization to integrate document management and access capabilities with their existing systems. Most importantly, it can be used in a cloud-based configuration that provides secured access to company documents on a 24/7 basis from anywhere in the world, delivering the ultimate in user mobility.

GWIV Brings High-End Cloud Based ECM to Small and Medium Sized Organizations
GlobalWise, through its Intellinetics subsidiary, provides a uniquely user and system friendly ECM (Enterprise Content Management) solution that allows all types of commercial and public organizations to get a handle on what can seem to be an endlessly increasing volume of documents, important items that can be buried and lost without proper management. The company’s primary ECM product, called Intellivue, is similar to the traditional pay-per-click approach, but with a fixed-cost model that appeals to a wider customer base, relieving the user of concerns about excessive unforeseen charges. The company’s monthly fee approach, involving no up-front costs, can be especially attractive to the small and medium business clients targeted by GlobalWise, a business stratum not focused on by similar services.
According to Gartner, Inc., the ECM industry should exceed $5.7 billion by 2014, with a compounded annual growth rate of over 10%. Major ECM players target only large Tier 1 and Tier 2 businesses, leaving thousands of smaller businesses with virtually no ECM providers, representing a major opportunity which GlobalWise is actively pursuing. A convergence of advanced ECM software capabilities plus developing mobile platform technologies now makes the company’s sophisticated cloud based processing and communication capabilities available to even small companies, allowing secured access to vital information available 24/7 on a worldwide basis. Today, leading hardware vendors, including Lexmark, Samsung, and DELL, directly integrate their hardware with the Intellivue cloud platform.
GlobalWise represents a significantly lower cost delivery model, while still offering comprehensive ECM functionality, such as Transaction Content Management, Social Content Management, On-line Channel Optimization, and Content Management as Infrastructure. In addition, it offers customized solutions for all types of organizational requirements and industries, and supports both iPhone and Android OS mobile platforms.

GWIV Posts Q1 Results; Cuts Q1 Loss by 42%, Completes First Major Financing
GlobalWise Investments, a technology company focused on the design, implementation, and management of cloud-based Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems via wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, Inc., reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Total revenues for the quarter were $354,871, a decrease of 2 percent compared to $360,328 for the comparable quarter of 2012. The company attributes the year-over-year decrease primarily to the delay in closing several major agreements generated by its expanded sales channel partners, as well as lower revenue from consulting projects.
Gross profits were $175,387 for Q1 2013, an increase of 211 percent compared to $56,381 for the comparable year ago period.
Gross margins were 49 percent and 16 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively, an increase of 33 percent.
GlobalWise reported a net loss of $671,797 for Q1 2013, narrowed by 42 percent compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the same three months of 2012. The lower loss reflects the absence of $305,000 in costs associated with the Share Exchange and reverse merger which were incurred during 2012.
As of March 31, 2013, GlobalWise had $1.3 million in cash compared to $140,510 at the end of Q1 2012. The increase in cash is a result of the company’s financing activities during the first quarter, which raised net proceeds of $2.7 million. Cash from non-financing activities was $850,870 as a result of the conversion of equity during the period. GlobalWise initiated a debt reduction initiative in September 2012, which has reduced the company’s debt by 49 percent through March 31, 2013.
“In the first quarter of 2013 we reached a significant milestone in completing our first major financing,” William J. “BJ” Santiago, CEO of GlobalWise, stated in the press release. “We believe this financing helps us to, among other things, expand our global channel sales distribution model and expedite our strategies of servicing the small-to-medium (SMB) business sectors world-wide and generate greater revenue in the coming quarters in fiscal 2013.”
