Victoria – May 1, 2007 Cloudbench Applications (TSX-V:MSZ) today announced the addition of the Planning module to its Local Government Manager solution.

“Given our extensive knowledge and experience with clients using our on-premise application, it was only natural for us to extend the Local Government Manager solution to include planning”, said Iain McLean, CEO and President of Cloudbench Applications. “With the planning module, we now cover the three main areas of operation community development clients demand to automate their departments”.

Local Government Manager was developed by Cloudbench Applications for municipalities that require a low-maintenance, configurable, ready-to-use solution. The new module for planning, which manages planning applications and project milestones, is fully integrated with the existing code enforcement and permitting & inspections modules.

As an on-demand software solution, Local Government Manager is easy to implement as resources do not have to be dedicated to installation and maintenance, no capital investment is required, upgrades are provided automatically and users can be up and running in weeks. The Apex™ platform used by Local Government Manager is world-class and delivers a secure and reliable service for local jurisdictions.

The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release.
