In the News...

 

This past week, NCP Solutions attended the PostalVision 2020 conference in Washington, DC. The conference was held to broaden the attendees' views of the Postal Service and to seek out the possibilities of the Postal Service as a platform. During the conference, there were a host of industry experts, authors and government officials in attendance including the US Post Master General, Pat Donahoe, who spoke on the restructuring objectives for the USPS as outlined in his "5 year Plan to Profitability." Other topics included platform perspectives moderated by Phil Simon, author of "The Age of the Platform," describing what a platform is and how it could work for the USPS. This was followed by a panel discussion moderated by Jeff Jarvis, author of "What Would Google Do," on the responsibility the US would have if the USPS adopted a platform strategy. There was also a discussion regarding the current and future state of mail describing the downtrend since 2000 and the opportunities that lie ahead for the industry. The conference ended with a panel discussion on policy directions, which included as a participant, the recently appointed President of Digital Solutions for the USPS, Paul Vogel.

 

Michael Barron, Product Manager for NCP Solutions, attended the conference and had this to say... "Our customers rely on the USPS for the final stage of delivery of the customer communications we manufacture for them. We are committed to helping our customers mitigate the impacts of the proposed USPS changes, and by participating in events like PostalVision 2020, we can do just that."
