precisely to get the greatest value from their customer
communications. The inaugural recipients of the awards were
recognized at the Company’s annual Global Document Messaging
Technologies Customer Summit, June 6-8, 2011.
“The winners of our Brilliant Communications Awards are
innovators, early adopters and creative problem solvers who can
point the way for others,” said Ramesh Ratan, president of Pitney

customer communications evolution using solutions to help lower

The winners of the 2011 Brilliant Communications Awards
include:
- “Powerful Communication Award” –
Tri-Win Digital Print and Direct Mail, Dallas, TX, USA
Tri-Win Digital Print and Direct Mail, a
direct mail house and digital print shop, won the Powerful
Communication Award for improved productivity, efficiencies and
quality. Tri-Win used FlowMaster® RS Flex Inserting Systems with
optional camera verification systems, and in-line inkjet printing
station capabilities. The solutions helped Tri-Win increase the
speed, and reliability of its envelope insertion process, and more
importantly, increase its statement mailing customer base.
- “Colorful Communication Award” –
Emdeon, Toledo, OH, USA
Emdeon, a leading provider of healthcare
revenue and payment cycle management and clinical information
exchange solutions, won the Colorful Communication Award for
migrating to full digital color White Paper Factory™ solutions.
Emdeon used IntelliJet™ roll-fed printing systems; APS and MPS
Advanced Productivity Series Inserting Systems; a FPS™ Split Drive
Inserting System; and Pitney Bowes software to drive the printers
and provide reports for tracking and management analysis. As a
result, Emdeon can now print full-color, eye-catching patient
statements quickly and easily in a single print run at full
production speed. Emdeon also streamlined operations for greater
efficiency, eliminated costs and storage space for millions of
sheets of paper, increased print capacity to better handle volume
spikes and future growth, and shortened mail delivery time to the
consumer.
- “Profitable Communication Award” –
Logistic Mail Factory GmbH, Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany
Logistic Mail Factory, an alternative,
private-run postal company in Bavaria, won the Profitable
Communication Award for creating more relevant, precision marketing
communications. Logistic Mail Factory used a VariSort™ Mixed Mail
Sorter, Olympus® II Flexible Tier Sorter, DI950™ Inserting Systems,
DM1000™ Digital Mailing Systems, P/I™ OfficeMail, P/I Output
Manager software with VIP™ centralized output management, and P/I
Enhancement Manager software with VDE™ centralized output
management. The solutions enabled Logistic Mail Factory to receive
and register letters from companies electronically instead of
physically, as well as automatically print and finish mailpieces
and bill customers for services. Each mailpiece is assigned a
tracking number and is enriched with final sorting criteria based
on a software database. As a result, this simplified and optimized
the physical sorting process. Also, Logistic Mail Factory increased
productivity, accuracy and efficiency; and decreased production
costs by fully automated scanning and sorting.
- “Innovators Choice
Award” – PSC Info Group, Oaks, PA, USA
PSC Info Group, a national provider of
innovative, technology-enabled solutions and proven revenue
acceleration tools to streamline the collection of consumer
payments, won the award for the most innovative solution. PSC Info
Group accepts data from various clients, most of which are
collections or medical in nature. PSC Info Group uses P/I Output
Manager software with VDE centralized output management and P/I
Wizard software along side their document creation software, and
developed a way to pass information to the P/I products from the
document creation software by embedding them in the document files
themselves. PSC Info Group is now able to group significantly more
jobs together for increased efficiency. In addition, the solutions
have helped PSC Info Group simplify the process of linking
Intelligent Mail® barcodes with stored return data, resulting in
reduced server overhead.
