UnifiedPost has been selected for the Technology Award at the 2003 World Mail Awards

London, Brussels (PRWEB) May 11, 2003 - UnifiedPost, a Belgian provider of services for optimising and outsourcing outgoing communication, is one of the three finalists competing for the Technology Award at the prestigious 2003 World Mail Awards. The World Mail Awards are designed to recognise best practices in the mailing industry and run alongside the World Mail & Express Conference, an annual mailing industry forum established in 1991.

The World Mail Awards were launched in the year 2000 to encourage and reward excellence, innovation and best practice within the mailing industry. They highlight key areas of expertise and are judged by an eminent group of independent and neutral industry experts drawn from around the world. The award program enjoys support from the Universal Postal Union and Unipost, leading consultants and major Posts.

After a record level of applicants across the 9 categories - Industry Leadership, Innovation, Enterprise, Customer Service, Airmail Carrier of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Security, Technology and Internet Commerce - UnifiedPost has been nominated in the category Technology. This Technology Award was created to identify situations where the implementation of technological solutions has brought clear market advantage to an organisation operating in or allied to the international or domestic mail industry. Such competitive advantage can be derived from improved service quality, cost reduction or enhanced product features.

UnifiedPost has been chosen for its hybrid business messaging. All outgoing business communication can be channelled to UnifiedPost that handles the final delivery, which results in better customer service, faster delivery, less IT and overhead costs, and better departmental cost allocation. From fax mailings, printed invoices, secure e-mail attachments, e-invoices, SMS to even printed one-to-one letters; all communication can be delivered from one platform.

"I am honoured to be able to represent our company at the prominent World Mail Awards. This opportunity confirms our efforts of continuously improving our services to companies worldwide and optimising their business communication. To have been selected out of a large number of entrants and high standards presented makes it even more worthwhile", says Hans Leybaert, CEO UnifiedPost.

The jury will determine the winner at the Award ceremony held in conjunction with the annual World Mail & Express Europe conference on May 13th at the Sheraton Roma Hotel. More information on http://www.mailawards.org
