Case Study: SaaS for SMBs

A serial entrepreneur of successful businesses
relies on a series of SaaS applications to power his growing portfolio

Venture Capitalist Adi McAbian has a proven track record for creating, growing and selling successful businesses.  He attributes much of his success to his single-minded devotion to following through with an idea and knowing what business tools can aid in growing that idea.  “Inspiration for a new business can hit you at any moment,” says McAbian.  “The secret lies in being able to harness that idea and quickly bring it to fruition in a cost-effective manner.”  To accomplish this, McAbian is a longtime devotee of the web-delivered (also called Software-as-a-Service or SaaS) model for quickly and easily building a company’s infrastructure.  To-date, McAbian has built over a dozen successful companies, all of which were built upon the StreetSmart information technology (IT) platform – developed by Tarzana-based company, InfoStreet.  StreetSmart provided the IT infrastructure to power McAbian’s prolific business savvy, offering such tools as: custom IMAP email, file sharing, portal creation, CRM, address book, calendaring, workflow, synching tools and more.
