The Postal Service recently expanded its partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce to help support the government’s newly established National Export Initiative (NEI). The initiative, unveiled by President Obama, calls for a doubling of exports over the next five years.
You also can save money by using a postal-qualified wholesaler to ship your materials overseas. A wholesaler combines mailings from other companies to get volume discounts and passes the savings on to its customers. In turn you can pass the savings on to your customers to help secure additional business.
International development will be achieved by providing foreign-market expertise to businesses interested in expanding their exports. The USPS Global Business team will work with the Commerce Department’s International Trade Administration and U.S. Commercial Service to provide free resources and tools to interested businesses. The first phase of this initiative will target businesses currently shipping to one foreign market through USPS.
Not only can you reap the benefits of overseas growth to expand your business interests, you can also add global clients to your database for your mail marketing.

Intelligent Mail barcode is the result of the Postal Service’s efforts to develop more robust codes capable of encoding more information, while minimizing the space used on the mailpiece. The Intelligent Mail barcode (IMB) offers:
- Continue earning lowest postal rates
- Better customer intelligence
- Free Address Change Service
- Visibility into the mailstream
- More effective returned mail processing
- Better scan rates and improved deliverability
- Better looking mail pieces (fewer barcodes)
- Delivery ConfirmationTM
- Access to new services
What are the real concerns facing Mailers?
Price. In todays market, the biggest concern is how much this will cost or save. The savings can add up if you mail in quantity. Early compliance for the Intelligent Mail barcode discount offers:
- $.01 per 1000 pieces of mail Standard
- $.03 per 1000 pieces of mail First class
For smaller mailers, there are other incentives. Indirect savings through a more efficient mailing system also save everyone money and peace of mind. As you consider how to implement Intelligent Mail in your company, you should recognize that every approach offers unique solutions:
- Saving space on the envelope means less product waste
- Less undeliverable mail means higher ROI
- A forward thinking green approach will give you marketing advantage
Why should mailers care about the IMB?
Two reasons: First, mailers must be using the Intelligent Mail barcode on their mail as of May 2011 in order to qualify for automation prices. Planet Code bar codes will no longer be in effect after the May 2011 deadline.
The second reason is the extra data and tracking capabilities available through IMB. Even basic IMB can track mail and predict delivery dates. Those using Full-Service IMB will receive mail feedback about address quality and get automated address correction information.

Mail.Dat for IMB
To contact us Click HERE
The question is whether you have to have Mail.dat in the Basic Category for IMB?
I don't know why end users think you have to have Mail.dat in order to use the IMB. There are two levels, Full Service IMB and Basic IMB. Basic isn't going away at all and will apply to most mailers. Full Service will continue to grow but isn't meant for all mailers. With lower volumes, Full Service is overkill.
May 2011 is the big date for IMB - so what people who have DTM and BCCLE need to know?
Those individuals that are not choosing to be Full Service should know that all "Lite Edition" product users have the Basic IMB available to them and can mail using that IMB. Somehow, somewhere, someone is scaring low volume mailers into thinking they CAN'T mail unless they are going with IMB FS, this is NOT accurate or true. The best place to find additional information related to the Basic IMB would be at ribbs.usps.gov.

ROE Productivity Directly Correlated to Data Quality
To contact us Click HERE
According to a recent study, the financial metrics that predict a firm's competitiveness, overall health and profitability can be improved if high quality data is presented concisely and in useful ways to mobile and remote access users.
A study at The University of Texas at Austin in explored the correlation between Return On Equity (ROE) investments in IT and the financial performance of the business, the productivity of employees, and the ability to more accurately plan and forecastreports Julie Langenkamp for Information Management Magazine, Sept/Oct 2010.
The research done in conjunction with the Indian School of Business and sponsored by Sybase found that the cost of increasing effective data is relatively minor compared to the resulting returns. The study of more than 150 Fortune 1000 firms examined issues associated with the quality, accessibility and relevance of data, and how these factors affect the performance of the business.
Results suggest that even marginal investments in IT can have dramatic impact when that technology addresses data quality, usability and intelligence, whether it be using mobility or remote access solutions, analytics or BI solutions, or a combination of technologies.

Simple Low Cost Data Quality Improvement

Online data acquisition and applicable integrated tools
Freelance Technologies has data quality solutions that will ensure effective implementation of your specific requirements to give you the necessary information to make a good business decision. Here are some simple, low cost ways to improve data entry data quality:
Take a minimalist approach
Keep it simple, do you really need all that data? Make sure you are not asking users to put so many entries they will get tired of filling out your form. Think about it from their point of view.
Paring down your data entry forms to the bare essentials and you will create far more contented workers and customers who will actually make it to the “send” button!
Design helpful forms
You have, no doubt, seen the particularly helpful phrase: "Error in form, please correct.” How do you respond? It may depend on the incentive to complete the form. With business forms, if we feel helpless, then we walk away.
If a form fails to validate your information then it should be designed in such a way that it guides you through the correction process. Also, adding basic support and assistance will increase the odds they will use it. How many web forms do you see that don't provide a feedback or help option easily visible next to a data entry form?
Do you have a visible call support number, email or Wiki page where your data entry workers can get help or advice? These are just two simple ways to improve the user experience and quality of inbound data to your business.
Avoid mistakes at point of entry
Incorrect or undeliverable addresses mean costs go up, sales go down. Typing errors prevent merchandise from reaching the customer and cause additional research costs. Postage discounts can be reduced or cancelled by the USPS if mass mailings include a large number of incorrect addresses.
Data entry errors caused by unclear or unavailable input make it more difficult or assign data incorrectly especially for international applications with different address structures. These have to be manually corrected with a high investment of time and operating costs.
Deliberate incorrect entries (joke addresses) start dispatch processes which cost money and have to be reversed with great effort.
Duplicates cause unnecessary additional costs where customer satisfaction and customer retention are also affected. Up selling and cross-selling potentials cannot be used cost-effectively.

Prevention is better than cure!
Data cleansing downstream from the point of entry is costly, repetitive, time-consuming and error-prone. It can increase service lead-times and add unnecessary complexity to your information chains.
Maintaining high data quality is critical to business success. Yet unreliable, outdated, or just plain inaccurate data costs U.S. businesses more than 600 billion dollars annually. FTI specializes in data quality software that can turn business data management from a liability into an asset with standardized, validated and duplicate-free data.

Real-Time Data Quality Is Critical to ROI
Don’t lose leads from bad data entered on your website, or waste time and money sending mail to non-deliverable addresses. Freelance Technologies (FTI) has real-time data solutions that will improve the quality of your data at point of entry. Think in ecological terms, of stopping contaminated water at its source, and how this is less costly and more effective than letting a polluted river contaminate the lake or ocean we depend on for survival.
1-10-100 rule
Point of entry data management is ultimately important because of the “1-10-100 rule,” which illustrates the importance of being proactive. The rule states that it costs only $1 to verify a record, $10 to cleanse and de-dupe it after it has been entered, but $100 in potential lost productivity or revenue if nothing at all is done. While identifying and correcting bad data is important, it is far more cost effective to manage data in real time, at the point of entry.
User errors can be costly
Over 25 percent of data problems are because of entry errors by potential customers, a major factor in poor data quality, costing U.S. businesses billions each year, according to The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI). The solutions offered by FTI can help you lower the costs of sales, marketing and customer service, by cleaning your database of inaccurate or incomplete contact data—at point of entry.
Another point of frustration is falsified or fraudulent information. Fraud involving identity theft is costing merchants big, an estimated $3.3 billion in 2009, according to Cybersource, a risk management solutions firm. The data quality solutions offered by FTI can help you to turn data management from a liability into a selling point with correct, complete and duplicate-free data.
Improving data quality helps you to operate your online applications successfully. Up-to-date, correct and consistent data, starting at Point of entry, helps ensure timely deliveries of goods, fast ROI and great customer interactions! Catch errors at point of entry, before they enter your database.
Real time business solutions
Data cleansing downstream from the point of entry is costly and inefficient. It can increase service lead-times and add unnecessary complexity to your information chains. Here are just a few ways FTI can help your business improve data entry data quality:
- Point of entry error correction and verification
- Deploy fast, reliable deliveries of goods that will produce satisfied customers and generate more profit from repeat business

Data cleansing downstream from the point of entry is costly and inefficient. It can increase service lead-times and add unnecessary complexity to your information chains. Integrating data quality tools at the point of entry can eliminate these problems.
Strengthening your relationships with existing customers and acquiring new customers cost-efficiently is most pivotal aspect of increasing ROI and maintaining existing revenues. It can cost five to six times as much to attract new customers than to keep current clients satisfied. Poor data quality affects customer satisfaction, reputation and even strategic decisions. Time and cost savings alone are a significant benefit to be gained from appropriate data quality software tools.
Freelance Technologies (FTI) specializes in matching businesses with the cost-effective data quality solutions from SAP, BCC Software, Lorton Data, Melissa Data, Satori and Datatech Smartsoft.

Variable Data Printing Increases ROI
To contact us Click HERE
Variable Data Printing transforms your business!
Variable-data printing (VDP) (also known as variable-information printing (VIP) or VI) is a form of on-demand printing in which elements such as text, graphics and images may be changed from one printed piece to the next, without stopping or slowing down the printing process and using information from a database or mailing list.
Today's media-rich environment supports a wide array of communication channels, including print, e-mail, websites, radio, video, and wireless devices. While this mix offers great versatility, it also increases the volume of messages vying for consumers' attention. The returns for variable printing vary from double the normal return at the basic level to 10-15 times the return for fully variable jobs. This depends on the relevancy of that content, but the technique presents an effective tool for increasing ROI on marketing campaigns.
Transform your business documents into advertising vehicles!
Users in a wide range of industries and markets have adopted variable data printing. Its appeal is not limited to personalized direct mail, but can add value to almost any business document, transactional or promotional or a combination of both. Freelance Technologies (FTI) offers work-flow management tools for creation and printing of transactional and promotional variable content documents as well as advanced automated distribution. Use variable data to enhance bills, invoices, coupons, labels, postcards, fliers and much more. In each application, intelligent documents increase the usability of existing business information, and work-flow automation makes the production process efficient, accurate and affordable.
We offer a variety of documentation software services that each provide unique, specific capabilities for your business development. Learn more about the variable data marketplace and give us a call to find a solution tailored to your needs.

Global Data Quality Sept 2011

Global Business demands higher level of efficiency with greater profit potential
Maintaining high quality data is critical to business success. Yet unreliable, outdated, or inaccurate data costs U.S. businesses more than $600 billion annually. With quality data, international organizations can know how many customers they have, detect duplicate customer data, correct addresses for most countries worldwide, correct contact information, correctly field data, personalize data, merge and validate data. All this saves both time and money. Maintaining accurate data quality also can accurately predict customers' interests and can prioritize marketing programs to more effectively cross sell or upsell products. Multinational businesses need to understand these metrics to determine the value and impact of current business process.
International business initiatives encounter a large variety of languages, names, address conventions and other culturally embedded business rules and habits. In systems unable to recognize international characters or international name and address forms, the inclusion of non-native data can cause unexpected results and undermine existing data integrity throughout the enterprise. An accurate address can mean the difference between profit earned from a successfully completed delivery or customer dissatisfaction and financial penalties accumulated due to misdirected mail and resultant postal costs.
Multi-national organizations face common obstacles as they work to consolidate disparate global data into meaningful information:

An accurate address can mean the difference between profit earned from a successfully completed delivery or customer dissatisfaction and financial penalties accumulated due to misdirected mail and resultant postal costs.
Multi-national organizations face common obstacles as they work to consolidate disparate global data into meaningful information:
- Trade across multiple countries and borders yields different customer data quality issues with different languages and character sets.
- Decentralized business systems have a critical impact on reporting, daily operations, sales forecasting, and inventory.
- Significant record duplication hinders the creation of trusted, global enterprise views.
International Data Quality Software packages include address correction that cleanses, standardizes, parses, matches, and governs multi-national information across countries, languages, and character sets. Having high-quality data as the foundation of all your enterprise efforts delivers the benefits and competitive advantage that today’s global companies seek.
- Automatic processing of mixed country data (records) applies appropriate culture- and country-specific logic
- Country-specific business rules, corporate standards and processes consistently applied to global data
- Organizes and standardizes relationships among customers and vendors across regions
- Global data quality solution that is scalable to meet the demands of current and future data quality needs
Global Data Quality Software provides appropriate categorization of cultural differences in international data, such as name order, multiple last names, street and currency designations and formats, and preferred syntax, data translation from one code page to another, even mixed data within the same record, and can match validated and cleansed addresses to corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates.
FTI specializes in matching businesses with the cost-effective global data quality solutions.

Steps to Achieving High Data Quality - Data Entry
To contact us Click HERE
Maintaining High Data Quality
Step 1 ... Data Quality Point of Entry
Maintaining high data quality is critical to business success. Yet unreliable, outdated, or inaccurate data costs U.S. businesses more than $600 billion annually. Data Quality Software is used to cleanse data, correct addresses, correct contact information, detect duplications, correctly field data, personalize data, merge and validate data saving both time and money.
Each week we will give you pointers on improving your data quality and offer suggestions for the software products which incorporporate these features.
Step 1:
Data Quality Point of Entry Solutions
Real-Time Data Quality Is Critical to ROI. Don’t lose leads from bad data entered on your website, or waste time and money sending mail to non-deliverable addresses. Real-time data solutions will improve the quality of your data at point of entry.
1-10-100 rule
Point of entry data management is ultimately important because of the “1-10-100 rule,” which illustrates the importance of being proactive. The rule states that it costs only $1 to verify a record, $10 to cleanse and de-dupe it after it has been entered, but $100 in potential lost productivity or revenue if nothing at all is done.
While identifying and correcting bad data is important, it is far more cost effective to manage data in real time, at the point of entry. User errors can be costly. Over 25 percent of data problems are because of entry errors by potential customers, and are a major factor in poor data quality. It costs U.S. businesses billions each year, according to The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI).
The solutions offered by FTI can help you lower the costs of sales, marketing and customer service, by cleaning your database of inaccurate or incomplete contact data—at point of entry.
Another point of poor data quality is falsified or fraudulent information. Fraud involving identity theft is costing merchants big, an estimated $3.3 billion in 2009, according to Cybersource, a risk management solutions firm.
Up-to-date, correct and consistent data, starting at Point of entry, helps ensure timely deliveries of goods, fast ROI and great customer interactions!
Real time business solutions
Data cleansing downstream from the point of entry is costly and inefficient. It can increase service lead-times and add unnecessary complexity to your information chains. Here are just a few ways FTI can help your business improve data entry data quality:
