Earth Class Mail Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award
Software-as-a-Service Provider Enables Organizations to More Easily and Securely Manage Postal Mail Requirements While Lowering Costs
|
Wellesley, Mass. - September 20, 2010 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that Earth Class Mail has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.
The BoSS Awards is an ongoing program which recognizes SaaS companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.
Earth Class Mail provides postal online mail management services designed to meet the needs of individuals, small businesses and international license partners. Services include: document scanning and storage, check deposit, mail and package forwarding, will-call services and secure shredding and recycling.
An example of the business benefits of Earth Class Mail's SaaS solution is Mission Property Group. The company maintains three offices spread throughout the west coast of the U.S. Each office receives approximately 175 to 200 pieces of mail each month. To handle the volume of mail, check deposits and related business functions, Mission Property Group would need to hire three part-time administrative assistants at a cost of approximately $90,000 per year. Instead, Mission Property Group pays approximately $1800 per year for the Earth Class Mail's SaaS solution. In addition, the Mission Property Group can monitor and manage mail from anywhere via the Web; secure signatures and deposit checks electronically; and store, file and access documents online rather than using valuable physical space on-premise.
It is for these reasons that Earth Class Mail has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A summary of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=1824.
"We are very pleased to be recognized by the SaaS Showplace for the business value of our solutions," said Sarah Carr, Earth Class Mail President and CEO. "We are committed to providing high quality service and support to our customers, ensuring that our value proposition is always strong, so they can focus on other business demands. The Mission Property Group example demonstrates just one of the many ways our customers have found to maximize their resources by utilizing Earth Class Mail to manage mail, deposit checks and scan and distribute documents."
"As organizations become more dispersed, it is increasingly essential that they be able to manage their day-to-day operations from anywhere at anytime," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace. "Earth Class Mail's postal online mail management service is a great example of the tangible value of this type of SaaS solution."
Based on the success of the BoSS Awards program which focuses on SaaS solutions, THINKstrategies has launched the Cloud Computing Business Value (CCBV) Awards program to recognize companies which are delivering Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions producing measurable business benefits for their customers.
