Price Reductions!
1 September 2007
The Royal Mail has radically revised its licensing terms. The intention is to move towards pricing solely on the number of users, rather than on a server basis.
This will take place over several years, but from this year the costs for small users (under 20 staff) will actually reduce, while the costs for server-based systems rises by about 25%.
PAF Quality Assessment
15 February 2008
The Address Management Unit - the branch of the Royal Mail responsible for the PAF - introduced a radically improved QA programme last year.
There is now a rolling programme to check addresses, and a field has been added to the PAF giving a datestamp for the time this was done.
As a result of this, the number of corrections to the PAF has doubled and is currently running at over 100,000 per week.
