Pacific WebWorks, Inc. (OTCBB: PWEB) today released the following business update.

As previously reported, in December of 2012 the Company reorganized its management team with current Company President K. Lance Bell assuming the additional role of CEO, James C. Roundy being installed as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Tanner J Purser as Controller. The Company expects the team's combined experience and expertise to enable them to provide strong leadership in moving the business forward.

During 2012 the Company re-listed on the OTC Bulletin Board exchange after having resolved the reporting issues it had encountered. The Company also continued to expend resources to defend against outstanding legal matters. As 2013 begins, Pacific WebWorks believes it is well positioned for growth, having largely resolved its former reporting and legal issues.

The Company is now focused on revitalizing its internet technology business model. The market for Software as a Service (SaaS) products was projected to grow at a robust 17.9% rate in 2012, according to a Gartner Research study (see http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1963815), with the trend expected to continue for years to come. The study highlights Customer Relationship Management software, a key component of Pacific WebWorks' software suite, for strong anticipated growth in international markets. The Company believes this demand creates an attractive opportunity that it plans to aggressively pursue.

Lance Bell, Company CEO, stated, "We recognize the strong demand for SaaS products, particularly in underserved and developing markets, and believe that we are well positioned to serve those customers. We have been working to expand our software offerings and to establish an international framework which will enable us to service the largest possible audience. During this process, our technology suite and delivery mechanisms have matured and are uniquely suited to provide immediate value to customers at a price point that is suitable to the mass market."

Bell concluded, "We also continue to test a variety of marketing methods, with a focus on risk control, and believe that we have been able to develop some good options for going to market on a larger scale."

"The future of Pacific WebWorks begins now. The management team is excited about moving the Company forward. We are well positioned for growth and committed to creating value for our shareholders. We appreciate our many shareholders and look forward to an outstanding 2013."
