One of the best things about having the opportunity to go to the National Postal Forum is that you get to meet folks you work with, and folks in the industry and Postal Service that you wouldn’t be able to otherwise. I think this opportunity made it possible to clear up a misunderstanding regarding Mail.dat products on the market.
It seems that there has been some confusion regarding all the similarly-named products, and that is where the misunderstanding came about. Let me clarify
Business Objects’ Entry Planner, aka Postsort.dat or Postsort.dat Manager products were phased out by that company at the end of last year. Since Business Objects is also known as FirstLogic and PostalSoft, there seemed to still be some question out there.
I had the opportunity to talk with a collegue about this, and this confusion may be what led to the report of competitive tales that were actually misunderstood. I am glad NPF networking made it possible to clear that up with face-to-face communication.
Recently it has come to my attention that there is a rumor circulating regarding the future of Window Book – and DAT-MAIL in particular. I’m here to tell you, with the things we have planned for DAT-MAIL and our customers, we have enough to keep us busy for at least twenty years. And with the USPS making changes at the rate they do, the need for a versatile software solution like DAT-MAIL only increases.
Our new-look website is only the tip of the iceberg. We have a lot of great projects in the works, ways to educate and inform, and to provide a service along with your software. We will be increasing your representation on industry committees working on topics such as Mail.dat and PostalOne!
It seems that the competition has tried everything to divert attention away from their product, and how it measures up to DAT-MAIL. Don’t hesitate to contact us for the facts.
Best wishes,
