Countdown to Move Update Compliance
Guest Host: Tom Coggin, President, DATA DIRECT
$99 (free of charge to attendees of the live event)
Effective November 23, 2008, the USPS will expand their Move Update requirements to include Standard as well as First-Class Mail.
Effective on that date, an approved Move Update method must be applied “prior to the mailing” – a key phrase that is now becoming
more clearly defined.
While many mailers are focused on November, the fact is that any mailings already being prepared that will mail on or after
November 23 must comply with the new Move Update regulations. Time to prepare is running out: there is much at stake for your
business, and many choices and numerous scenarios to consider. Failure to comply with Move Update rules can result in loss of
all postage discounts for a mailpiece, resulting in postage payments at First-Class single piece rates.
Tom Coggin, president of DATA DIRECT, has been actively involved in address quality and mail preparations for over 3 decades.
He understands the value of data accuracy, and has been actively implementing the “3C” approach to address quality—complete,
correct, and current—in his operations.
Join Tom and Chris Lien, executive vice president of BCC Software, as they discuss the new Move Update requirements, their
impact on the mailing industry, and how you can begin immediately implementing a strategy that will allow you to continue to
retain postage and ensure timely and ultimate delivery of your mail, and that of your customers.
PostalOne! and the Future of Postage Payment & Documentation
Guest Host: Debbie Cooper, Postal Operations Manager for Quebecor World Logistics
$99 (free of charge to attendees of the live event)
The way in which we pay postage and document mailings is rapidly changing. With the USPS demanding more
information about mail preparation and justification of eligibility for claimed discounts, they are effectively
pushing the industry toward an electronic system to manage all things postal. This new system is called PostalOne!,
and it is a foundational element in the future of the mailing industry.
Though PostalOne! has been nearly decade in the making, it is really coming into its own now, and in fact is
required as part of the Full Service implementation of the Intelligent Mail Barcode. But how many mailers truly
understand what PostalOne! is? Are you clear on how to upload postal data to this rapidly evolving system? And
how does the data within PostalOne! enhance the overall value of mail? Will it truly become the central entity in
managing all things postal related?
Debbie Cooper, Postal Operations Manager for Quebecor World Logistics, has been a pioneer in working with PostalOne!.
From scheduling drop ship appointments to Mail.dat, electronic postage payment and documentation, she has been at the
core of PostalOne! development since its inception.
Join Debbie and Chris Lien, Executive Vice President of BCC Software, as they discuss the crucial role PostalOne!
will have in the future of mail. During this session, Debbie and Chris will discuss how you can get started with
PostalOne!, what barriers you may face, how to manage the data within it, and more importantly, how to make it a
crucial part of your mailing operation.

Do you have a plan in place for this high-stake high-tech world of Intelligent Mail? Join Chris Lien and Margaret
Choiniere as they help unravel these IM barcode mysteries and reveal crucial steps you need to take to ensure its use.
