BCC Software Certified to Offer USPS Suite Link Technology Processingas Part of BCC Data Services
BCC Software, a BÖWE BELL + HOWELL company, is one of the first companies to be recognized by the United States Postal Service ® as a Suite Link ™ Certified Software Distributor.
Because of this certification, and thanks to BCC’s status as a USPS ® NCOA Link® Full Service Provider (FSP) Licensee, mailers now can enjoy the benefits of Suite Link processing added to any mailing lists that are submitted to BCC for NCOA Link FSP processing.
Access to the Suite Link technology product has been added to BCC Data Services via Mail Manager 2010 and Mail Manager 2010 LE, BCC’s flagship mailpreparation products, and the free downloadable Data Services Manager application, which connects any mailer (regardless of their mailprep software choice) to BCC’s comprehensive suite of addressupdating services.
The Suite Link product helps further cleanse business addresses during NCOA Link processing, ensuring more efficient and streamlined delivery. The Suite Link process analyzes business address records that are identified during ZIP + 4 ® encoding as highrise buildings with missing or incorrect secondary information; and, where possible, appends or corrects those records with the appropriate secondary suite information.
In addition to Suite Link , the wide variety of listenhancing products available through BCC Data Services includes such USPS certified technology products as NCOA Link FSP and Limited Service Provider (LSP), DPV™ and LACS Link ™; 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 (sameday 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.
NCOA Link 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 FirstClass Mail ® automation discounts, and its effects—improved deliverability, reduced Undeliverable As Addressed mail, and increased response rates—make NCOA Link a worthwhile process for jobs in all mail classes.
