InfoStreet Makes the
OS Obsolete
With the rollout of StreetSmart 7.0
customers get single source for IT software
TARZANA, Calif. (March 07, 2006) - InfoStreet (www.infostreet.com),
a provider of fully managed, on-demand IT software,
announces the release of StreetSmart 7.0 - a milestone
upgrade to their flagship StreetSmart product. Delivered
via the Internet, StreetSmart 7.0 provides businesses
with all the productivity software required to operate
an efficient business in one integrated, easy-to-use,
suite of applications. Unlike competing business tools
that have tried to jump on the Software as a Service
(SaaS) bandwagon, InfoStreet was founded more than a
decade ago under this model and has continued to expand
its offering while growing a loyal customer base. This
latest roll out offers a robust collection of enhancements
such as: enhanced private labeling (matches a company's
existing "look" to reinforce brand identification),
instant deployment (can be rolled out in seconds), 100-percent
Web-based management and configuration, enhanced address
book and calendaring, IMAP support for improved email
and much more. Available immediately, new customers
can use this enhanced platform which is served from
InfoStreet's world class data center. Existing customers
are automatically upgraded as part of the company's
pay-as-you-go subscription.
"The only desktop operating system that can
compete with Microsoft Windows is no operating
system. By eliminating client-side software, any device
that can access the Web in essence becomes your
desktop," explains Siamak Farah, InfoStreet founder
and CEO. "With StreetSmart 7.0, our customers enter
a world where their office is only a browser click away
- relieving them of the tedium and expense involved
in daily back-ups, spam protection, security breaches
and other modern nuisances."
The Need
StreetSmart 7.0 is the ideal Web-based software management
platform for individuals, corporations, NGOs, government
organizations and Web communities. It allows an individual
or small business to quickly empower ALL their electronic
communications and infrastructure needs from one
platform while also offering the peace of mind that
can only come from a continuously updated (and scalable)
Web-based tool. For this reason, StreetSmart is currently
deployed by thousands of industries around North America.
StreetSmart 7.0
The newly enhanced StreetSmart applications allow
users to access their data such as mail, calendar appointments,
files, tasks and more from any computer. For busy executives,
the Share Mail feature will be appreciated; this option
allows the user to designate someone who can seamlessly
access their email with a single click. In addition,
the Shared Calendar function is also a top-rated feature
of the StreetSmart suite - allowing users to grant permission
to others to view or edit events in their calendar while
also allowing users to invite others (even external
people) to their events via calendar invitations.
Although StreetSmart 7.0 is offered as a complete
suite with a variety of applications, users can choose
to operate features as standalone or as a group. Administrators
can configure features or completely turn them on or
off with a few clicks of a mouse.
Key enhancements and features of StreetSmart include:
- Address Book - a central contact manager
for individuals and groups
- Application Sharing - enables users to establish
permission levels to share data and applications (i.e.
email/calendar/address book) with others
- Calendar - complete with daily, weekly,
monthly, views, invitations, recurring events and
meeting planner
- Email - with server side message rules,
junk mail control, anti-virus built in; accessible
via webmail, POP and IMAP
- File Sharing - the ability to upload, manage,
and share files
- Instant Messaging - users can communicate
with each other instantly and effortlessly
- Knowledge Base - self-ranking Q&A where
the most popular entries bubble up to the top for
easy access; corporate manuals and data can also be
easily added to the online help section
- Mailing Lists - broadcast mail and email
discussion forums
- PDA Sync - ability to synchronize calendars
with Palm, Pocket PC, Outlook, Outlook Express and
Blackberry
- Web Site Publishing & Hosting
- each user can create and publish a hosted web site
- Workflow - manage individual or group tasks
