Humanitarian Aid
Workers around the Globe
Just Got Closer Together
Relief International
Uses StreetSmart -
to Power their IT Infrastructure and Connect Offices
around the Globe
TARZANA, Calif. (November 7, 2006) - InfoStreet Inc.
(www.infostreet.com), creator of the fully managed,
on-demand IT software suite, StreetSmart, announced
that Relief International (RI) is using the StreetSmart
suite to streamline its international aid operation.
As part of this relationship, RI receives a non-profit
discount and is using a dedicated StreetSmart server
hosted in InfoStreet's world class data center. StreetSmart's
array of on-demand business software will provide mission
critical functionality such as email, shared calendaring,
workflow, and CRM and will allow RI to stay connected
with their offices across the globe.
"The humanitarian work being accomplished by
Relief International is both humbling and impressive,"
says Siamak Farah, CEO of InfoStreet. "Understanding
the uphill battle they face, it is our privilege to
play even a small role in helping this impactful organization.
Our goal in providing this service is to make sure RI
is always running the latest interoffice technology
so that they can focus on their noble humanitarian cause
to ease the suffering of people around the planet, as
opposed to being concerned with day-to-day IT activity."
"We are pleased to be working with a company
of the caliber of InfoStreet," says Dr. Farshad
Rastegar, CEO of Relief International. "In our
work, it is imperative that our network stays intact
and that our people and offices stay connected. We rely
heavily on partners such as InfoStreet to keep our internal
technology working efficiently, enabling us to focus
on saving lives."
