Why Earth Class Mail Outperforms Digital Mail

There are good reasons Earth Class Mail Corp. is the No. 1 provider of digitized mail in the world, with more users in more countries (175 and counting!) than any “digital mail” provider in the world.  We call our service online postal mail. It’s light years beyond the capabilities of traditional digital mail.  And that’s good news for enterprises, the mail-services vendors who serve them, and the national posts.

Why Earth Class Mail is Better for the Enterprise

Why is Earth Class Mail™ (ECM) online postal mail the best technology for managing any company’s mail center?  Unlike the inflexible technology of digital mail:

  • ECM, by relying on the intelligence of users and giving them a choice of how incoming mail information should be handled, enables 100% accurate disposition, every time.  ECM:

    • -  eliminates delivery costs and all further downstream costs when recipients can instead order the mail center to scan, shred, recycle, or instantly archive most mail

    -  slashes delivery, re-delivery, and inter-office mail costs where recipients can specify the correct place of delivery (another desk or person, home or hotel), and

    -  slashes lifetime document-management costs for documents scanned in the mail center

  • ECM handles all types of mail and envelopes, from senders known and unknown (digital mail handles only one type of standardized document, such as an invoice or claim form it has been taught to recognize)
  • ECM handles all sizes of mail (not just standard envelopes, two pages thick)
  • ECM handles all individually addressed employee mail (digital mail works only for the transaction mail at the department level)
  • ECM cost-effectively handles interoffice and accountable mail 
  • ECM protects information privacy and confidentiality (particularly for legal and health records) by giving recipients a choice as to whether a document is opened and scanned – or delivered sealed to a desk or other location (digital mail will indiscriminately open up and scan everything that comes its way)
  • ECM can be licensed without upfront costs or equipment purchases ECM is agnostic, not proprietary, and can be licensed and used by your outsourced mail vendor (see below)
  • ECM technologies are delivered entirely via the web, as a software-as-a-service, and requires no client-side software, upgrades, maintenance, or even hosting

 If your organization receives only one type and size of mail and wants the same thing to be done to it every time, this might work for you.  But we don't know of any such organizations.

Why Earth Class Mail is Better for Mail Services Vendors

From the perspective of the operators, digital mail has significant limitations that Earth Class Mail overcomes. For example:

  • Digital mail cannot physically cache mail, which is partly why it allows no choice of how to dispose of a piece of mail -- it's the same handling every time
  • It is still highly manual -- when operators lose rhythm, costs skyrocket
  • It is scale-sensitive, so that smaller businesses, residential customers, and individuals cannot be served at all
  • Offers no online or remote access to mail at all!
  • Is unable to process multiple customers’ mail at the same location, and cannot do so without risk of scans being misdelivered to the wrong user (a significant software and automation problem we’ve solved).
