/THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./

CALGARY AND TORONTO, Oct. 31, 2013 /CNW/ - Sylogist Ltd. (TSXV:SYZ) ("Sylogist") is pleased to announce the completion today of the acquisition of all the common shares of Weave Corp, a well-recognized Ontario based public sector software development and support organization.  Weave's operations will be integrated under the Sylogist's public sector software business; Bellamy Software. Based on historical results, we expect the Weave acquisition to grow our annual revenue by approximately 15%.  Weave was acquired for less than 2% of Sylogist's current market capitalization, half of which consideration is performance based.

"In Weave, we have acquired a profitable company built on a recurring revenue model.  Weave has developed a proven suite of real-time asset management, preventative maintenance, mobile inspections and budgeting applications for the public sector based on their own business intelligence/analytics platform, for analyzing "big data".  Weave software is run by over 40 municipalities and engineering companies in Ontario. Weave's products complement and integrate to Sylogist's public sector applications (Bellamy Software).  With the addition of Weave Corp, we are able to provide the only complete integrated suite of public sector municipal applications in the Canadian marketplace supported by a single company. Software solutions are available through a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model or supplied as an in-house solution of the customer's choosing," stated Jim Wilson, CEO of Sylogist Ltd.

"This strategic acquisition provides strong cross selling opportunities to existing customers and market expansion potential for new customers seeking a single source SaaS or in-house public sector solution. We are also encouraged by the potential application of the Weave business intelligence and analytics platform to our private sector customers within our Epic Data division. We welcome the Weave staff at their Toronto area office."
