CHICAGO, March 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Epazz, Inc. (EPAZ), a leading provider of blockchain cryptocurrency mobile apps and cloud-based business software solutions, announced today that the company will release its social media blockchain app on June 30, 2018. The app allows users to store data in the blockchain and retrieve it from the blockchain, making it unnecessary for users to store the data on their mobile devices. Only users have access to their data (and not third parties such as social media platforms), which is encrypted for increased privacy and protection.

The Social Media Blockchain Decentralized Platform removes the middlemen, allowing users to have more control over their data and how they connect with others. Users control the platform and control how their groups use the platform. The app will be available in the Apple App Store and on Apple Play.

The social media blockchain app will be available to consumers and businesses. Consumers can use the social media features in the first release to connect with friends and family by sending photos and messages. In future releases, the company will add GPS tracking capabilities that will inform the user’s group where the user is or will be. Users can share calendars with their friends, and will be able to see all their friends in a single screen. Businesses will be able to track employees and resources. The decentralized platform also allows for businesses to place critical data in the blockchain.

Epazz CEO Shaun Passley, PhD, stated, “Our blockchain storage technology will allow us to create several apps and platforms. As we continue to develop Cordtell will be release separate apps based on features which we believe can be use in a different way.”

About Cordtell (www.cordtell.com)

Cordtell reduces fraud in business transactional contracts. The technology allows for a transactional contract to become a living contract that is tracked and traced; it also verifies that a section of terms within a contract are followed and that all parties of an agreement obey the terms of the contract.

Cordtell, which is under development, automatically verifies signatures, distributes the contract to the blockchain, records the transaction and verifies the terms are being followed via our blockchain apps, which also trace any changes. The technology sends reminders, and tracks payments and delivery of items. The technology will work with Microsoft Word and Google Docs to provide real-time contract edits and updates via version control. The company will primarily market the technology to law firms, health care providers, businesses and governments.
