Earth Class Mail Expands Markets, Hires Key Personnel, Grows Sales and Customer Base
Impressive Q1 saw new funding, additions to management team, and increased interest from U.S. government agencies, military, enterprises, and foreign postal operators
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 -- Earth Class Mail Corp., the global leader in delivering postal mail online, announced the most successful quarter in its four-year history, highlighted by key additions to its management team, a successful financing round, and record sales growth.
Earth Class Mail is the only online postal-mail delivery service for individuals and businesses that scales to meet the needs of national posts. The company recently opened its first retail storefront in Seattle, with more planned for New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., among other major U.S. cities. Two additional mail-processing "hub" facilities will be constructed in Kansas and Virginia to augment the company's 60,000-sq-ft. facility in Oregon.
Earth Class Mail has seen increased interest from U.S. governmental and military branches, as well as privatized foreign postal operators seeking new technologies to expand revenue-generating services, lower operating costs, and reduce environmental impact.
Executive appointments include Carl Hicks, COO; Rajeev Dujari, VP of Product Management; Phil Sprute, VP of Enterprise Sales; Steve Isaac, Principal Product Manager; and Robert Gilbert, Director of Sales Engineering. These five bring more than 125 years of experience from the U.S. Army, AT&T, IKON Office Solutions, Microsoft, Northrop Grumman, Sun Microsystems, and Xerox.
Earth Class Mail just completed a pilot implementation with a Fortune 100 company which is being rolled-out to 20,000 additional employees this year, and 35,000 more in 2009 - making it the first major corporation to deliver postal mail electronically to all its employees. By increasing productivity and operational efficiency, Earth Class Mail can help the company save millions of dollars per year in mail- and paper-handling, real estate, and administrative labor costs.
"The progress we've made in the last three months has exceeded our own already-ambitious expectations," said Ron Wiener, CEO and Postmaster General of Earth Class Mail. "We closed a successful round of venture and debt financing, hired talented new Earthlings, grew our customer base, broadened our strategic relationship and product integration plans with Microsoft, and entered into detailed implementation discussions with foreign postal services, the Department of Defense, and other U.S. governmental agencies. It's a testament to our original vision of transforming the way people receive and manage their postal mail both at home and at work."
Earth Class Mail digitizes paper mail at its entry point, injecting it directly into a corporation's electronic workflow. Delivering postal mail online enables mobile employees and telecommuters to access all communications remotely, as they do email, fax, and voicemail. Handling mail once rather than transporting it multiple times - around the country, across campuses, and through buildings - is more expedient, secure, and reliable than outdated physical delivery. The environmental benefits associated with Earth Class Mail's solution include reductions in carbon emissions and a 400% increase in recycling compared to the national average.
