What is PostalOne!/FAST Scheduler Web Services
Testing?
PostalOne!/FAST
Scheduler Web Services Testing is a service for corporations that are
ready to move beyond online scheduling to electronic submission of appointments
using Web Services. The two-phase testing effort allows these corporations
to verify their readiness to submit appointments in the FAST production
environment using Web Services.
During Phase 1, corporations test that they can
successfully connect to PostalOne! using Web Services. During
Phase 2, corporations verify that test appointments submitted using Web
Services, are processed by FAST.

2. Since Phase 2 started on June 13, 2005, these corporations have successfully
completed testing and are submitting appointments in the FAST production
environment using Web Services: Harte-Hanks, Quebecor World Logistics,
and R.R. Donnelley Logistics.
