SANTA ROSA, CA--(Marketwire - June 14, 2010) - [ Democrasoft, Inc ]. (PINKSHEETS: [ DEMO ]) and email marketing provider iContact ([ www.icontact.com ]) today announced that the two companies have signed an agreement for iContact to become an authorized marketing channel of Democrasoft's Collaborize™ products. Democrasoft will become iContact's newest featured partner, on both its own site and within iContact's newsletter to its thousand other partners. According to the agreement, Democrasoft will also promote iContact on its own website and to its customers.

This partnership will promote Democrasoft's Collaborize product to the thousand or so businesses that have existing strategic reseller agreements with iContact, establishing an immediate potential distribution channel for Collaborize. In return, instead of a fee to iContact, Collaborize will offer a 15% coupon code discount that will be exclusive to iContact's customers and partners. Collaborize is the online social networking application that allows various groups with a common purpose to reduce their use of email by organizing their online conversations and streamline online decision-making. The service also enables organizations to create purpose-driven online communities for their internal teams, customers or external audiences. The web-based service is available on a monthly subscription basis.

With over 63,000 customers, iContact is a leading on-demand email marketing service for small businesses and non-profits. iContact allows organizations of all sizes to easily create, send, and track email newsletters, RSS feeds, surveys, autoresponders and web-based services.

"We are pleased to partner with Democrasoft and see a true synergy between the two firms," commented Eric Sternkopf, Director of Sales at iContact.

According to Democrasoft Chairman and CEO Richard Lang, the agreement between Democrasoft and iContact "will provide an efficient way for the company to access many potential customers, as well as iContact's own strategic and business partners, and to spread the word about Collaborize."

"Business entities, from small to large, are an important market for us, because often businesses have distributed teams and few resources for collaboration," Lang said. "We are pleased to be working with a market leader in email marketing. Since iContact's clients range from small business to the enterprise, we will be promoted across a broad spectrum of companies."
