Pitney Bowes - Postal (Finalist and Mailer's Choice)

This mainframe system was purchased from Pitney Bowes. There were no modifications to products. An interfacing subroutine was written for Finalist to shield our applications from parameter & workarea changes. It was first installed March 1987. Continual upgrades were made to conform with USPS regulations. It formats and enhances the mailing address as well as prepares electronic files for the USPS; creates needed USPS documentation; achieves postal discounts for the University's group mailings. The data sources are files containing names and addresses.
