Lisa Bowes sent me a few links to the window books website. I have added them on the right side of this web page. It really has some very helpful information on it. I also suggest for those of you that haven't done it yet, to subscribe to her blog. If you haven't yet gotten into blogs, what are you waiting for? The blogs today offer such great information that if you are not subscribed to one yet, your missing out and leaving potential knowledge on the table. Business week just had a cover story related to blogging and other funcutions of web 2.0 and how companies really need to look into this medium especially for your employees in thier twentys.

I want to thank Lisa for sharing.

Ok, so today I learned that my software is not compatiable with postal one's file requirments. I am currently using Postal soft Desktop mailer business edition. When I spoke to postal one, they informed me of the files that I would need to present to them, then as I tried to do this in Postal Soft. I found that I can not do delete or update files.

Sounds crazy, I know. So I put the question out to some very knowledgable people in the industry and sure enough. It came back that what I was told is correct. Now according to all of the documentation on the intelligent mail barcode, in order to get the lowest possible rates. We mailing companies will need to present our files electronically. The software vendors aren't ready for this yet and May 2009 is fast approaching.

Now I am faced with either waiting for postal soft to upgrade thier software, purchase a different software or trying to get around this another way like having my programmer manual edit the files. I don't even know it that is possible.

I will keep you posted.
