The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget Office of Support Services (DTMBOSS) was recognized at the National Postal Forum (NPF), for Automating a certified-mail project saves time and money.
The treasury staff had a large amount of mail that needed to go out in a short period of time. (DTMBOSS)’s printing and mailing divisions worked together to develop a mailer that could be processed and tracked using automated equipment. The product had its own unique Mailer ID, administrator and barcode constructs that allowed Treasury to receive a secure bulk proof-of-delivery file that could be downloaded for easy access and indefinite storage. The automated processes also enabled the treasury department to meet all IRS requirements, and allowed for quality testing, workflow efficiencies and secure data management. This certified mail project yielded $1.4 million in savings for the state’s Department of Treasury
The partnership between (DTMBOSS) and the Postal Service has propelled (DTMBOSS) to the cutting edge by offering the latest mail service technology and innovative ideas to reach customers. (DTMBOSS) which has worked closely with the Postal Service, prides itself on the added value to automate
