NetPosti breaking records in Finland
The number of e-letters and e-invoices sent to Itella’s NetPosti has increased rapidly in 2010. Every month, the number of letters has set a new record, and in November the number of sent e-letters and e-invoices hit 500,000.
The volume increase is a result of the increasing number of businesses and organisations using NetPosti for sending messages. This year, the number of e-letters and e-invoices sent via NetPosti will exceed 5m.
“NetPosti has become the most versatile and comprehensive of the electronic services. NetPosti users have been asking for more contents in their NetPosti box and now their wish has been fulfilled. With more senders, NetPosti is better able to meet its consumer customers’ needs, which in turn attracts more users to the service. We have started a positive cycle,” said Pasi Ketonen, business development director of NetPosti Services.
In the last three months, many new senders have joined NetPosti, among them the Finnish Parliament.
NetPosti is a content-independent electronic service where the recipient may receive their official mail electronically, from bills to pay slips and to messages from associations. In addition to this, the service contains an increasing number (almost 7,000 to date) of public authorities’ forms.
“When Itella launched NetPosti in 2000, we already saw how the world was increasingly heading towards electronic communication. The service has been developed in many ways and we have actively participated in promoting the information society. In our view, a well functioning information society will benefit businesses and organisations as well as citizens, and consequently, society at large,” added Ketonen.
