			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Despite a nationwide decline in the residential housing market, AxisPointe gains momentum and continues to sell HomeWorx franchises nationwide.</em></p>
<p><a title="AxisPointe, Inc." href="http://www.axispointe.com/Home" target="_blank"><img src="http://utahvalleybusinessblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/uvbb_axispointe.jpg" alt="AxisPointe, Inc." align="right" />SALT LAKE CITY—July 14, 2008 — </a><a title="AxisPointe, Inc." href="http://www.axispointe.com" target="_blank">AxisPointe, Inc.</a>, the leader in outsourced post-construction customer service and parent company of HomeWorx Franchising, LLC announced today that <a title="HomeWorx" href="http://www.axispointe.com/axispointeproductsoverview.php" target="_blank">HomeWorx</a> franchises have been sold in eleven cities in four states over the past four months, including; Colorado (Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs), North Carolina (Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh), South Carolina (Greenville) and Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio).</p>
<p>“The current climate in the building industry creates an ideal business opportunity for people to utilize their skills and knowledge to grow their own franchise,” said Frank Tate, AxisPointe VP, Franchise Division. “Working with a proven company such as AxisPointe provides peace of mind in our unstable economy and has been an attractive selling point to many of our new franchisees.”</p>
<p>HomeWorx franchises provide an opportunity to take advantage of the outsourcing trend within the building industry. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, and proven processes, franchisees fill a need in the market by alleviating burdens for builders through the entire post-construction phase. With as little as a cell phone and laptop, individuals can start their own franchise and have it up and running in as little as a few weeks. In addition to the benefits to franchisees, HomeWorx offers builders the ability to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Scale up or down depending on the market without having to hire, fire or train employees,</li>
<li>Focus on their core business and not have to hassle with the day to day post-construction service needs,</li>
<li>Ensure consistent, world-class services to homebuyers, and,</li>
<li>Outsource the entire post-construction warranty process to a trusted, experienced vendor</li>
</ul>
<p>“I am impressed with the high-caliber of franchisees we have brought on board with HomeWorx,” said Andrew K. Smith, AxisPointe CEO. “Their experience and drive to succeed not only helps our business succeed, it brings them personal and financial growth as well. The franchising model is a win-win for everyone.”</p>
<p>With the recent decrease in residential construction, homebuilders and multi-family developers are outsourcing their post-construction customer service and warranty resolution services to save overall operating costs. With substantial savings in overall post-closing warranty costs, the HomeWorx Suite of products and services are a perfect solution for builders to reduce current operating costs and provide world-class service to homebuyers.</p>
<p>“We look forward to having a HomeWorx office in each major metropolitan city throughout the United States to service this ongoing trend of outsourced post-construction customer and warranty service by 2010,” said Smith. “We are committed to investing what it takes to reach this goal as quickly as possible to support the overwhelming demand we are getting nationwide for our end-to-end solutions.”</p>

<p>SALT LAKE CITY—May 7, 2008 — AxisPointe, Inc., the leader in facility asset management and outsourced post-construction customer service, announced today the launch of AxisFM™, the company’s facility asset management division and product offering. AxisFM is an expanded and enhanced version of Asset Evolution, an Orem-based company acquired by AxisPointe in January 2008.</p>
<p>“Asset Evolution was a cutting-edge technology with sound philosophy supporting it,” said Coray Christensen, EVP, AxisFM division. “With the enhancements to the work management module and additional space management features, AxisFM is a complete facility asset management system that provides simplicity and saves our customers a tremendous amount of time and money.”</p>
<p>AxisFM has fused and simplified the core facility asset management applications; space management, work management and capital asset management into a single seamless, interoperable system. AxisFM allows facility managers and business officers to make decisions based on comprehensive data derived from the work, space and capital asset management modules. With this data readily available, AxisFM helps organizations of all types and sizes to optimize their facilities and reduce overall spending.</p>
<p>“The need for an innovative asset lifecycle management solution has become increasingly apparent and we believe we have developed a product and philosophy that meets that need,” said Andrew K. Smith, AxisPointe CEO. “Our time-tested and proven ‘total cost of ownership’ message is truly unique. We’re eager to show facility managers how to optimize their environments and provide financial officers a way to eliminate the need for expensive and on-going facility condition assessments.”</p>
