UMS EMPLOYEE UPDATES
In a move to help ensure the future of the nation’s mail system, the Postal Service announced today the completion of its area mail processing consolidation studies announced in September 2011. Implementation would not occur before before May 15, 2012, due to the Postal Service’s commitment to members of the U.S. Senate not to close or consolidate any postal facility prior to that date.
Postal Explorer is a virtual library of postal information designed for business mailers. It puts a wealth of postal information at your fingertips in an easy-to-use format. The powerful search feature lets you quickly find information in a single publication or across a range of publications. You can also view a publication by clicking on the publication title.
The National Association of Presort Mailers (“NAPM”) is a trade association composed of firms concerned with the present and future of postal worksharing. It is also a professional association in that it includes individuals who have acquired knowledge and experience that qualifies them as specialists in performing mail-processing services.
Intelligent Mail is the technology platform for the next generation of mailing services, features and products. Mailers and the Postal Service™ will gain end-to-end visibility into the mailstream through the use of the suite of Intelligent Mail barcodes and by submitting electronic documentation, which will create actionable information about mail for marketing, financial and operational environments.
This website provides information on the decision made in each study, including whether each facility will be closed or consolidated, remain open, or have its study placed on hold. For those facilities facing a change, the name of the “gaining site”— the facility where mail processing operations will be relocated — also is included.
