BCC Software Certified to Offer USPS SuiteLink Technology Processing as Part of BCC Data Services Menu

Mail Manager 2010 users will now receive SuiteLink processing on every list sent for USPS NCOALink Full Service Provider processing, at no additional charge

Rochester, NY — BCC Software, a BÖWE BELL + HOWELL company and a leading developer of high-performance solutions for professional mailers, is one of the first companies to be recognized by the United States Postal Service® as a SuiteLink™ Certified Software Distributor. Because of this certification, and thanks to BCC’s status as a USPS® NCOALink® Full Service Provider (FSP) Licensee, mailers now can enjoy the benefits of SuiteLink processing added to any mailing lists that are submitted to BCC for NCOALink FSP processing.

Access to the SuiteLink technology product has been added to BCC Data Services via Mail Manager 2010 and Mail Manager 2010 LE, BCC’s flagship mail-preparation products, and the free downloadable Data Services Manager application, which connects any mailer (regardless of their mail-prep software choice) to BCC’s comprehensive suite of address-updating services.

The SuiteLink product helps further cleanse business addresses during NCOALink processing, ensuring more efficient and streamlined delivery. The SuiteLink process analyzes business address records that are identified during ZIP + 4® encoding as high-rise buildings with missing or incorrect secondary information; and, where possible, appends or corrects those records with the appropriate secondary suite information.

“BCC Software is on the leading edge when it comes to the USPS address-updating technology product certifications, and we’re thrilled to add SuiteLink to BCC Data Services so that our customers can continue to improve the quality of the mailings,” said Mark Higgins, Vice President of Marketing and Data Services.

In addition to SuiteLink, the wide variety of list-enhancing products available through BCC Data Services includes such USPS certified technology products as NCOALink FSP and Limited Service Provider (LSP), DPV™ and LACSLink™; plus an array of Suppression Services including Deceased and DMA Suppression. These processes may be combined on a single list for maximum effectiveness without affecting the fast turnarounds (same-day standard, and typically in just minutes) that mailers have come to expect from BCC. In addition, a prepaid discount pricing program allows users to save money and avoid minimum charges on jobs featuring smaller files.

NCOALink processing, which compares list data to the weekly updated USPS® Change of Address (COA) database, is the industry’s leading method for proactively updating list data to account for moves. When used correctly this technology product satisfies Postal Service™ requirements for First-Class Mail® automation discounts, and its effects—improved deliverability, reduced Undeliverable As Addressed mail, and increased response rates—make NCOALink a worthwhile process for jobs in all mail classes.
