BasicGov and Carahsoft Team to Deliver Government Permitting, Code Enforcement, and Licensing Solutions in the Cloud

BasicGov Systems, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BSG) has partnered with Carahsoft Technology
Corp. to market and sell its BasicGov suite of software to federal, state, and
local government agencies through Carahsoft's General Services Administration

automating common activities for permits and inspections, business licensing,

requests and scheduling of inspections. BasicGov Licensing simplifies license
approvals and batch renewals. BasicGov Code Enforcement automates tasks related
to code violations and inspections. Online, 24/7 access to all BasicGov modules

"We are pleased to add BasicGov to our growing portfolio of cloud computing
solutions for government," said Craig P. Abod, President, Carahsoft. "Every
government agency - large or small - has valued staff dedicated to managing
these daily activities. Whether it is a federal permit for a new wind farm, a
license for a state contractor, or a neighborhood abandoned car complaint,
BasicGov makes government more efficient in responding to customer requests."


"We expect Carahsoft to quickly put BasicGov in front of larger government
agencies that we're not able to reach on our own," said David Roberts, President
and CEO, BasicGov Systems. "Our Software as a Service model is ideal for
government as it delivers functionality and reliability without the high costs
or lengthy implementation of traditional software."
