CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - July 1, 2009) - Epazz, Inc. (OTCBB: [ EPAZ ]) announced today that it has signed a nonbinding Letter of Intent to acquire a well established enterprise resource planning software company based in the Midwest. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2009 subject to due diligence, execution of a definitive agreement and other closing conditions.

The ongoing increase in the global distribution channels and the continued search for suitable acquisitions are intrinsic in the Epazz, Inc. way of doing business. The target company was founded in 1991 and has a long history of positive cash flow and profitability having closed fiscal period ended December 2008 with approximately $500,000 in revenue (unaudited financials). The software product is considered to be truly unique and there are few competitors presently in the market offering such an all-encompassing suite of software within their target market thereby making this move quite strategic in Epazz, Inc.'s projected growth.

Epazz, Inc.'s CEO Shaun Passley noted, "This acquisition provides a solid customer base of government agencies which opens up many opportunities to cross sell customers on Epazz's BoxesOS, DeskFlex and Agent Power. With the synergies of our companies the customers can continue to look forward to innovative, effective and efficient software tools geared to enhancing their business process."

The Letter of Intent provides for a purchase price of approximately $450,000, which Epazz, Inc. will need to raise prior to being able to complete the acquisition. However, this is part of an entire program with Epazz, Inc. also being in negotiations to acquire several other B2B software companies. Epazz, Inc. has not entered into any Letters of Intent for the purchase of such companies and these future acquisitions will be dependent on several factors, including the company's ability to raise additional capital, of which there can be no assurance. Epazz, Inc.'s action is a clear reflection of its long term strategic growth plan to acquire profitable B2B software companies.
