In a Down Market, Nothing Speaks Louder Than Numbers - InfoStreet Discloses ROI

InfoStreet`s StreetSmart on-demand software goes head-to-head with its hardware
sibling
TARZANA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
InfoStreet Inc., (www.InfoStreet.com) SaaS pioneer and provider of StreetSmart,
a suite of Web-based, IT productivity software, today discloses sample
installation and operating costs of their solution vis-à-vis a typical Exchange
Server alternative. In this difficult economy, InfoStreet wishes to draw
attention to the cost-saving benefits afforded by its Web-delivered business
software. This approach is especially useful to small- to mid-sized startups
looking for an extensible yet affordable solution that can grow with them and
offer the benefits of SmartApps and anytime/anywhere access.

To illustrate the "number power" of potential savings for businesses, InfoStreet
is releasing their own pricing figures as compared to a typical alternative
installation model. StreetSmart's on-demand business software provides mission
critical functionality such as email, shared calendaring, workflow, CRM, and
allows companies to stay connected with offices, teams and consultants across
the globe.

To aid in a company`s decision-making process, InfoStreet has compiled a cost
chart that compares InfoStreet`s StreetSmart software to a typical Exchange
Server installation:
