Why Enterprise Online Postage will be the Future of Business Mail
The newest systems can have one license that is shared across an entire enterprise and at a fraction of the cost. There is no longer a need to justify a user’s mail spend because everyone can now have access . Enterprise Online Postage has been around for almost 10 years, the big difference is the way that the licenses are procured.

SESSION AM409
Eliminating Multi-Million Losses in Third Party Marketing Operations
The presentation applies financial analysis, in easily understood terms, to Third Party Marketing (3PM) operations in the mail channel. This analysis identifies the root cause, and solution to, the systemic under-utilization and poor monetization of available capacity in the mail channel. Unrealized annual profits can be in the millions (with capital value shortfall implications into the hundreds of millions) in these 3PM operations for mass mailers of any significant size. Television, radio, magazine, and newspaper managers fill up 100% of their communications capacity with either content or marketing for a very simple reason: not doing so is pure waste and harmful to the interests of their stockholders. Managers of mail channel operations have the exactly the same obligations to their stockholders yet suffer from chronic under-utilized and/or poorly monetized communications capacity. Interested parties can obtain, without obligation, a “Lost Profits Calculator” (in Excel) that will enable them to “ball park” the potential improvement in profit and capital value to their firm. This tool only requires a few high level KPI from current 3PM operations that should be readily available from existing corporate reporting. Instructor: Jim Enright, Critical Decision Systems
