Intelligent Mail Barcode; the savings behind the change

REF: Blog by Don Dew of InfoPrint

Print customers will focus on the "click charge" for a change to their sheet-fed printers, and totally miss the impact of the change to the barcoding of the address.

Implementing the Intelligent Mail Barcode can save $0.003 per mail-piece.

Not every impact printer supports the new barcode. Neither does every output software.

MAPPING Suite can generate the IMb without any changes to your current application software.

A workflow implementation like InfoPrint ADF very often achieves an ROI in 18 months or less, even if it includes full service Intelligent Mail.

If you were receiving automation rates in the past by using a POSTNET barcode, then you’re performing all the right steps to generate a basic IMb. The IMb contains the ZIP+4+destination point data that was embedded in POSTNET, plus your mailer ID number and service type.

Convert Microsoft Templates and Files with MAPPING Suite

Roanoke, Texas - March 16, 2010

Many companies took advantage of the familiarity and ease of Microsoft Word or Excel to develop productivity tools. Unfortunately, those tools have accumulated for years and the company is captive to its function and its output. The task to update these files becomes daunting as one became ten, and ten became dozens and dozens of files.

When changes in business call for an update to those files, how do you find the time and the budget to make it happen? When an improved process can help, where do you look for help with all those templates, documents, and spreadsheets?

Microsoft created XPS (XML Paper Specifications) as its basis for output support going forward from Vista and Office 2007. Microsoft also published the standards as Open Source and urged ISVs to explore its values. MAPPING Suite has fully embraced the strengths of XPS, and has re-written the entire engine of MAPPING by using these standards.

You can take your file “AS-IS” with MAPPING. You determine the changes, math, database calls, output looks, and distribution paths (e-files and/or print) on our WYSIWYG tool, save it for execution, and you are DONE.
