Perfect Output, Earth Class Mail Team Up to Provide Leading-Edge Enterprise Digital Mailroom Services
The two companies will leverage experience gained at Sprint Nextel to pursue outsourcing contracts with other major companies.
Seattle, July 2, 2009— Earth Class Mail, the world's leading provider of Internet-powered postal-mail delivery technology, and enterprise document-management provider Perfect Output of Kansas City, LLC, announce their partnership to bring an unprecedented combination of document-processing and mail-management services to enterprise customers.
Going forward, Earth Class Mail's licensed online postal-mail technology will be a key component of the enterprise document-management outsourcing package that Perfect Output will take into the U.S. corporate marketplace.
For the past 18 months, the companies have been working alongside each other at Sprint Nextel's corporate campus in Overland Park, Kansas. In late March, Perfect Output, which has provided document services at Sprint Nextel for the past 11 years, was awarded a five-year contract to manage all document-related services for its corporate locations and retail stores nationwide.
"The term 'Digital Mailroom' has historically referred only to the opening and scanning of a company's pre-permissioned, uniform mail streams, such as claim forms and accounts payable documents," says Sarah Carr, president of Earth Class Mail. "All the rest of the company's mail, including items addressed to individual employees or to no department or employee at all, had to be hand-sorted, delivered and processed the old-fashioned way. At this corporate site we've demonstrated the appreciable cost savings and productivity improvements resulting from our unique, patent-pending "Recipient Choice" technology, which finally allows enterprise customers to process 100% of their incoming postal mail in a true Digital Mailroom environment."
John Walker, CEO of Perfect Output, states: "Sprint Nextel's implementation of Earth Class Mail's online postal-mail delivery platform is the largest of its kind in the world, serving over 13,000 employees at both the Overland Park, Kansas, and Reston, Virginia, campuses. We believe many more corporate and government customers will want to obtain the same types of efficiency improvements and ecological benefits that Sprint has enjoyed from the Earth Class Mail platform, and we are excited to be the first national channel partner to incorporate it within our other advanced document-management platforms."
