Epazz, Inc. (OTCQB: EPAZ), a leading provider of cloud based business software solutions announces an update on its transition to a holding company today.

Epazz, Inc.'s CEO, Shaun Passley, said, "Our transition to a holding company is well underway. Our ability to identify and close acquisitions that will be immediately beneficial to our cash flow and profitability has enabled us to step up the progress on additional acquisitions. So too, our plan of paying our loyal shareholders dividends of stock in the newly spun off companies make for an attractive investment. The idea of getting paid a dividend for being a shareholder has universal appeal throughout the investment community."

"We are still working toward getting our stock price to a reasonable valuation. Between the short position and the fundings we did last year to facilitate our acquisitions and development of our businesses, our stock price is depressed. We do expect as we continue to close acquisitions and dividends to shareholders are paid out, we believe our stock will increase in price through 2013 and into 2014 and attain a fairer valuation."

Among the highlights of Epazz's development into a holding company in 2013 as well as acquisitions and revenue increases:

Board of Directors approves 1-10 dividend to shareholders on Project Flex.
Renewed Contract with SEPTA which resulted in $178,220 in revenues.
Second spin-off announced with Project Human Power.
Signed Letter of Intent to Acquire Content Management Software Company which could potentially add 45% to Epazz's bottom line.
