Delivering e-post

Communications News,  Sept, 2001  by Carren Bersch

Postal organizations are moving quickly to offer online services that enable quick and cost-effective delivery of documents for both e-business and personal applications. NETdelivery Corp., Boulder, CO, working with Canada Post and Cebra Inc., created an online post office known as EPOST. The new software, recently selected by Sweden Post to power its online service initiative, includes new, state-of-the-art electronic forms capability, which dramatically lowers the cost of traditional, paper-based forms handling.

The product enables organizations to replace inefficient paper-based processes and exchange information online with complete authentication and interactivity through an open, scalable, Web-based software platform. The technology provides customer-controlled migration from paper to electronic forms, and allows end-users to choose between traditional paper and Web-based options.

When situations require ink-on-paper signatures, this e-forms technology allows customers to eliminate the costs and error-prone processes of manual, optical character and intelligent character data entry, while providing complete privacy and confidentiality of the information that is submitted via paper.

Forms can be completed online for free, printed on a local printer and physically signed by the person submitting the data. Because each paper form includes a machine-readable, encrypted, 2D barcode, postal customers can now process paper forms with the same ease as an electronic transaction, with identical levels of high security, confidentiality and privacy, regardless of the format.
