Memorandum to Officers


SUBJECT: Cellular Technology Registration


As I have mentioned in previous memorandums Information Technology currently is involved with a service wide initiative designed at reducing costs on postal cellular technologies. This effort includes postal funded cellular phones, cellular broadband and Blackberry devices.  As a result the Postal Service will save a substantial amount of money as well as providing an increased level of service and productivity. 

The next phase of this cellular optimization effort is aimed at creating a dynamic asset inventory which will offer the ability to identify and track all cellular services and associate it to the user or custodian, their finance number, business and organizational unit within the Postal Service.

To accomplish this we have created a web portal for all cellular users and/or custodians to register their cellular devices that they use or have responsibility for.  The address of the web portal is: http://HQCELLREG.usps.gov and is accessible from the Blue (http://Blue.usps.gov) and LiteBlue (https://Liteblue.usps.gov) web pages.

All cellular users regardless of device type, cellular phone, cellular broadband, or Blackberry, must register their USPS funded cellular service by close of business May 18.  Any cellular service not registered at that time will be suspended.

In order to have service re-instated the user or custodian must register the cellular service using the web portal noted above.  Any cellular service not registered by May 22 will be permanently eliminated from the postal cellular inventory. 

This memorandum is to keep you informed of what we are doing and ask for your assistance.  Please ensure that your organizations take action within the timeframe listed. With your support we can save a substantial amount of money and see an increase in service levels, functionality, and improved devices.

Please contact Warren Schwartz of my staff if you require further information on this effort.  He can be reached via email or at 919-501-9049.
